God designed humans to be his coworkers. But work, like every other area of life, is broken as a result of the fall. When you start seeing your work as a calling from God, it changes your perspective. But if you want your work to bring you everything God is supposed to bring you, you will realize work is a terrible god. Your work matters, but your work is not your master. Jesus was laser focused on his work; he didn’t finish his work because it got hard. He stopped his work when the work was finished. The work of the cross changes everything.

Love at Work | Genesis 2:1-2, 15-17; 3:17-19; Colossians 3:23-24

Leo Schuster, Lead Pastor at City Church 
 
God came to us because we are all broken and in need of rescue. He came to free us from our guilt and fear. We are destined for the ultimate joy the angels talked about. When we cling to Jesus, we can drop what we cling to as security blankets in our lives.

The Angels and the Shepherds | Isaiah 9:2-3, 6-7, John 1:1-5; 9-14, Matthew 2:1-12, Luke 2:8-20

Leo Schuster | Lead Pastor at City Church 
 
In those wilderness years, God’s plan for Moses entails raising up a leader to enter the promise land. Moses will not be entering the promise land, and it seems as though Moses’ dreams and desires don’t get to come true. This wasn’t God‘s “plan B.” When we don’t see our dreams materializing, we compare ourselves to other people and their dreams. When we find ourselves comparing ourselves to people, assume a posture of a servant of God—we don’t know what God has for us and we don’t know everything that other people go through. When we find ourselves comparing, look to God’s Word. His Word gives us a pathway to access his presence. When we instead are lead by our natural desires, we become like animals. Our desires are good servants, but horrible masters. They will delude us. But God turns his face in love toward us, and through his power, our desires can become reordered.

Haunting Grace | Deuteronomy 31:14-16; 32:45-47; 34:1, 4-5, 9-10

Leo Schuster | Lead Pastor at City Church 
 
A concern for those in the margins is not only a modern concern, but a biblical one. What does the Lord ask of you? He wants you. His love for us is grounded in God’s character; it’s not just mere sentiment. The Christian faith is substantive, and it is a relationship that is central to that faith. When we are in relationship with God, we can care for those on the fringes. Stretch your view of God and this will stretch your view of others. Christ left the comforts of his home and was cut off from the land of the living to be an outside in our place. His love pushes us outward.

Love the Foreigner | Deuteronomy 10:12-22; 24:17-22

Linc Ashby | Community Formation Pastor 
 
We are a stiff-necked people. But God does not love us because of anything we do. We fashion idols for ourselves when we try and take a good gift that God gave us and make it an ultimate thing. But our idols will never satisfy. God destroyed the idol that the Israelites made. Jesus takes the idols we make and goes up the mountain of Calvary to be consumed for us.

People of the Wild | Deuteronomy 9:6-29

Even though this world is mostly wilderness, we see glimpses of the promised land. The constant in these places is who God is. He is present and active with us in both places. God is taking you somewhere. We can trust that God will get us where we need to go because Jesus does the obeying for us on the cross.

A Comfortable Test | Deuteronomy 8:1-18

Leo Schuster | Lead Pastor at City Church 
 
Christianity looks at the exclusive claim in this passage, a passage that Jesus later quotes, not as exclusively legal but existentially loving. The way he talks about love is not a modern understanding of love driven by emotion. But this love of God is driven instead by covenant. He is committed to us. And as a response to his relentless love toward us, we love him. His love and our obedience can not be segmented into only some parts of our lives because we are his. He has come to extravagantly love us, so then we are able to love him.

Laws of Love | Deuteronomy 6:3-12

Leo Schuster | Lead Pastor at City Church 
 
In bringing us the Ten Commandments, God is not just bringing the law but bringing himself. When we reimagine the law the way it was originally designed it is not enslaving, but liberating. We flourish when we function within our design. 
 
The law also functions as a mirror. It drives deeper than the external ethics. It drives deep to the heart of the matter. The law isn’t there to be a consultant or a burden. It was there to show us Christianity is impossible. 
 
It is coming at the end of ourselves that we see following the law will never get us out of slavery. Christ brings himself to us and rescues us out of slavery and then brings us the law to show us how to flourish in obedience. When this goes backwards, when the law comes first, it messes everything up. What we could never done, Jesus has done it in our place. In this way, we can rejoice in the law.

Laws of Liberty | Deuteronomy 5:6-22

Leo Schuster | Lead Pastor at City Church 
 
Love must be understood in the larger biblical context that God is also a consuming fire. Coming near to him, his fire will shape your life. God speaks his words out of the fire, and you can meet with God there and not be consumed. And the words he gives there become transformative. His fire is disruptive, but it brings new life, and that spreads to others. Sometimes Christians are on fire in a way that is more toxic than helpful. This passage shows the only way to move forward from that. 
 
God is jealous for exclusive loyalty. What do you go to when look for something to make you feel okay? Whatever that is, we often make idols of those things—we give our hearts to other things instead of to God. Jesus never gave his heart to an idol, yet he was consumed by God’s fire in our place.

Finding God in Life | 2 Kings 5:15-27

Human friendship addresses the human need to draw close to God. When you have mutual affection, part of you will cry out, wherever you’re going, that’s where I want to be. And it’s a relationship that will make you sad when it ends. We are made for holy friendships with one another, and connecting with others is connecting with God.

Growing in godliness is growing more into the image we were originally designed for. Hannah grows in her godliness through suffering. Her suffering is complex: the pain from not being able to have children and the pain from being in a polygamous marriage, and then all the cultural expectations that go along with those things. She offers her prayer to God, and she is at peace. She knows her God, who was good to the core, new her pain and would answer her however he felt best. In suffering, find rest in the gracious God who hears you.

Her suffering is complex: the pain from not being able to have children and the pain from being in a polygamous marriage, and then all the cultural expectations that go along with those things. She offers her prayer to God, and she is at peace. She knows her God, who was good to the core, new her pain and would answer her however he felt best. In suffering, find rest in the gracious God who hears you.

Job is more known more for his perseverance than his patience. He goes on a spiritual journey that has lingering agony, which brings up some of the big questions we have about suffering. His friends are no comfort, but God is not indifferent to our suffering. God reframes Jobs suffering, and ultimately God enters into our pain to endure the ultimate odyssey of agony for us. Jesus is our faithful friend who is our advocate and guide in the midst of suffering.

Apocalyptic literature can fire up the praying imagination when the beasts of life come at us and when we see the beasts in our own heart. There is a God who is in control. In destabilizing times, where are your eyes fixed? 
 
Jesus takes the fire and faces the beast for us.
