Topics include:
- OT Stories - Are they about us?
- Running from God - What are some of the results of this?
- When those around you are running from God - How can we help?
Jonah 1 - Running From God
Jonah is a story of God’s grace that truly points to the story of God’s grace. But God’s grace is not always straightforward: we wrestle with the fairness of it, we think we are too far gone for it, and we are often afraid of what it means for our lives. Jonah reveals to us a God whose mercy is for the sinner and the saint and points us to a Savior who was cast out that we might be brought in.
Principles For Giving
Sermon from New City Church.
Sermon+ - Lessons On Generosity
Mike, Dave, Lindsey, and Dan discuss the sermon from Sunday. How has the Holy Spirit worked in your heart through this series? What are the enemies to generosity? What role does money and possessions play in our relationships? What does it mean to be with Jesus in His generosity?
Lessons On Generosity
2 Corinthians 8:1-15; 9:6-15
Scripture seems to reveal a rhythm to generosity. There is a progression that takes place to form us into people who demonstrate the generosity of God. Recognizing this pattern is essential to us becoming who God intends for us to be: generous people of love. In this sermon we will discuss the supply of our generosity, the breadth of generosity, and the obstacles to generosity.
In your experience, what have been the biggest obstacles to you practicing generosity?
Spend some time with your family or friends at dinner this week sharing how God has used the generosity of others to meet your needs at different times in your life.
Look over the four obstacles of generosity that Pastor Dave shared in the sermon and reflect. Which of them is the biggest stumbling block to you becoming more generous?
What can you do to remove that hurdle?Take an inventory of all that God has entrusted to you (personality, time, gifts/skills/abilities, resources, etc.) and write out ways you can intentionally give to others this week.
Sermon+ - Practicing Generosity
Mike, Dan, and Lindsey discuss the sermon from Sunday. How do we begin to take inventory of our stuff and spending? How do we respond when we're not feeling so generous?
Practices For Generosity
Sermon from New City Church as part of our Kingdom Practices series. Application Questions -Set aside time to contemplate the riches you have in Christ in the gospel to prepare your heart to see your finances/possessions afresh. What arises in your heart/mind as you contemplate a generous response? -Take inventory of what you have. What do you have? Where is it going? -Give cheerfully as to the Lord!
Sermon+ - Riches In Christ
Mike, Dan, Chase, and Lindsey discuss the sermon from Sunday. How do we bring a mindset that we are rich in Christ into our suffering?
Riches In Christ (2)
The generosity of God to His people in Christ is the foundation and fuel for our generosity. To become like Him we need to consistently deepen our appreciation for all we’ve been given in Christ. We will consider more of these riches we have in Christ: redemption, forgiveness, wisdom, inheritance, and the gift of the Spirit. -Ask the Lord to open the eyes of your heart to see the riches you have in Christ. -How can you apply the riches you have in Christ to a specific situation in your life? -Consider the words of Jesus: “Freely you have received, freely give.”
Sermon+ - Riches In Christ
Dave, Mike, and Dan discuss the sermon from Sunday. How do we develop a mindset that leads toward generosity?
Riches In Christ (1)
Ephesians 1:3-14
When someone investigates the life of Jesus, they find Him to be a generous person. He is free and open with His time, resources, and affection - even to the point of giving away His very life. As we seek to follow His way, we will need to learn the secret of how He lived such a life. What we find is that Jesus’s generosity is sourced in the generous love of His Father for Him. God Himself: Father, Son, and Spirit, is a generous God! As we draw close to His heart we too will become generous. Our current series focuses on the generosity of God, how we can become increasingly generous, and how to practice the way of Jesus’s generosity.

Focus - Fixing our eyes on Jesus.
Being in Christ leads us to live New Creation lives.
2 Corinthians 5:9-17
So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. 12 We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart. 13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Sermon+ - The Shepherd King
Dave, Mike, and Dan discuss - what it means to be devoted to the Lord, how other things can "shepherd" us, and comets.
The Shepherd King
The advent of Jesus was the arrival of God’s shalom on earth. Jesus’ kingdom is one of peace, where what is broken is restored and what is incomplete is made whole. This week in advent, we will see how biblical peace is not just the absence of something (war, fear, brokenness, etc.) but the arrival of something.
“Peace is found only in trust, trust of the One who is in careful control of all the things that tend to rob you of your peace.” Paul Tripp“
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” John 14:27

The Advent Of Joy
Sermon from New City Church, December 17, 2023.
Luke 2:8-18
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
