City Life Church

A Gospel-centered, City Renewing Church

[Jonathan Dodson @Jonathan_Dodson]

The gospel tells me: in Christ I am more loved than I am flawed.

[Jonathan Dodson @Jonathan_Dodson]

Perhaps more than ever churches need to cultivate what @MarkDever describes as expository listening – listening to sermons, not for personal values, theological agendas, or recent headlines, but for the exposition of God’s intention in the inspired text for his people.

"I needed this book. If you’re a fellow weary pastor, you do too."

If you were compelled to be more intentional in sharing the good news, but wrestle with how, check out Pastor Jonathan’s book on evangelism:

Zion is the place where the longings of every human heart are not only fulfilled but also exceeded. Who will you point to the city of God today?

The gospel compels us to exchange Satan’s accusation-of-the-moment with Christ’s verdict-of-eternity.

[Jonathan Dodson @Jonathan_Dodson]

Lord of All, bless your pastors today.

Flood them with heavenly graces:

comfort the sorrowful,
strengthen the weak,
settle the anxious,
invigorate the lackluster.

Grant an abounding sense of Christ’s undying love and unimpeachable glory.

And be precious to our churches.

[Jonathan Dodson @Jonathan_Dodson]

It is through prayer that our hearts are convinced that Christ, not our effort, is Lord of the mission.

According to the Pew Foundation only 2 in 3 regular attenders returned to church after covid. Let’s choose worship over statistics, Christ over comfort, his people over our preference.

There is a great gulf between the Christianity that wrestles with whether to worship at the cost of imprisonment and death, and the Christianity that wrestles with whether the kids should play soccer on Sunday morning.

People say, “I don’t have to go to church to be a Christian,” and they are right. Salvation is through faith alone in Christ alone. You also don’t have to go home to be married—but stay away long enough, and your relationship will be affected.

This sign was hanging outside the door as I entered a worship service. Good question.
