The Fifth Act | The Holy Spirit - Jon Tyson
This week, Pastor Jon Tyson kicked off our new sermon series through the book of Acts, The Fifth Act, with a teaching on the Holy Spiritās ability to empower believers to be witnesses for Jesus to the ends of the earth. Before Jesus ascended into Heaven after His resurrection, He instructed the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came to them. Like the first disciples, we cannot be effective witnesses of Jesus on our own; we need the power of the Holy Spirit.

Easter Sunday | God Conscious - Jon Tyson
This Easter Sunday, Pastor Jon addressed our need to become āGod consciousā and receive the hope and life found in Jesusā resurrection. Johnās gospel account includes Mary Magdaleneās discovery of Jesusā empty tomb and resurrected body, and this story displays how a personal encounter with the living God sparked a movement of hope that is still going forth today. Pastor Jon encouraged those grieving the brokenness of the world and seeking hope to investigate the state of their hearts and consider pursuing a life that is āGod-conscious."

Missional Formation | Come and Die - Jon Tyson
This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson closed out our Missional Formation series with a call to follow Jesusā lead in making discipleship the heart of our mission. Throughout this series, we have established a radical minimum standard through what Church of the City believes are the nine core competencies of being disciples in the Kingdom of Heaven. While God has done remarkable things in this season, Pastor Jon led us back to the question that began this series: Is our plan for discipleship working?Ā

Missional Formation | Vocational Mission - Jon Tyson
This week, Pastor Jon continued our Missional Formation series with a teaching on vocational mission and workplace prayer, addressing the tensions many Christians face in bringing these areas together. Since God created humankind for the purpose of work, and we will spend at least one third of our lives at work, itās crucial that we examine how work fits into our discipleship. Pastor Jon exhorted us to imagine the history shaping impact of a community of people living on vocational mission by committing to lives of contending prayer and redemptive work, and invited us to be a part of it.
