The scripture was a big deal to Jesus. He was continually quoting them, always pointing to them and on the Sermon on The Mount he teaches his apprentices how to read them. On Sunday we looked at a crucial passage of scripture where Jesus teaches us the best way to read our Bible. Listen to "Jesus + The Bible" here - http://www.cityview.cc/teaching/2017/10/12/jesus-the-bible
The best way to read the Bible according to Jesus in the Sermon on The Mount (Matthew 5:17-20). 1. Live in the reality that Jesus is the centre of the story (vs 17) 2. Follow Jesus's interpretation of the scripture (vs 18) 3. Practice and teach what Jesus teaches (vs 19) 4. Let the scripture lead you to a life that is permeated in God's call to live right
It’s Thanksgiving! Join us this Sunday as we gather as a church family for music, teaching, kids and youth programs and communion together. It is going to be a fantastic morning together as we continue to journey through the Sermon on The Mount. Join us on the 3rd Floor of Goodwill Industries at 10am for Pre-Gathering Prayer and 10.30am for our gathering together.
On Sunday we had a fantastic time together! Our friend Jen Dungo shared with us their family's journey over the last few years. It's a powerful story and a must listen! Listen at http://www.cityview.cc/teaching/2017/10/4/a-journey-of-faith or on Itunes at https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/city-view-podcast-city-view/id1139222056?mt=2
It's a given that the Jesus community is called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But how do we this? Listen to Sunday's teaching "Salt and Light In A Dark World" here - http://www.cityview.cc/teaching/2017/9/27/simply-jesus-salt-light-in-a-dark-world or on ITunes.
"When Jesus calls his disciples ‘the salt,’ instead of himself, this transfers his efficacy on earth to them. He brings them into his work… The call of Jesus Christ means being salt of the earth or being destroyed.” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
This Sunday we are gathering together for music, teaching, kids + youth programs and communion together! Our pre-school kids are learning about Joseph from the Old Testament, our elementary kids are in a series called Be Generous, our Jr. High community is in week 3 of the Youth Alpha Film Series, and our adults continue to walk through the Sermon on The Mount! Join us on the 3rd Floor of Goodwill Industries at 10am for pre-gathering prayer and 10.30am for our gathering.
// THE TECH-WISE FAMILY - A NOTE FROM DRU // Parents! Over the summer I read a fascinating new book titled The Tech-Wise Family by author Andy Crouch. As a parent of young kids, Heather and I are discerning how to lead our family in the ways of Jesus and a huge part of this is learning to put technology in its place. I found The Tech-Wise Family very helpful—so helpful that we are looking to do a book study at City View (if there is enough interest) this fall. Here’s what you need to do if you want to be involved: 1. Sign up at www.cityview.cc/techwisefamily 2. Order the book - https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01M1SDHYT/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 3. Join us as we read a chapter a week starting October 15. There will be an online hub at www.cityview.cc/techwisefamily with weekly video follow up and a place to dialogue and ask questions. 4. Join us for a night together of reflection and Q+A on this topic. Time + Date TBA
