Oliver Wong || Matthew 28
On Father’s day, we wrapped up our series in Matthew, Covered in Dust. The life of Jesus challenges every part of our life as a disciple with His final words: go make disciples. In this message, we discuss five practical ways to live out our calling to make disciples that make disciples today: Come and See, Come and Be, Come and Know/Do, Come and Die, Go and Make.
IQ: Who are you following and who is following you?

Oliver Wong || Matthew 25
Jesus teaches his disciples that Heaven will be like a wedding. Because of sin, the world is divorced from Heaven but the Holy Spirit today is calling all people back to God.
In this parable, Jesus teaches about the gift we bring God at the Great Wedding. A master leaves gold for his servants to invest but one of them fearfully hides his portion in the ground.
What has God entrusted to you? If you trusted that Kingdom investment was always multiplied how would you invest in the Kingdom today?
IQ: Will you live a safe life or an invested life?

Oliver Wong || Matthew 22
Jesus gave several prophecies in Matthew to explain the future to his disciples. His primary picture to explain Heaven was a wedding; the Spirit, preparing the Church as Bride for her husband, Jesus. Sunday at CITYLIGHTS, we opened our final segment in Matthew, from the Ring to the Wedding. For three weeks we are asking: Spirit how are you preparing us for the Great Wedding of Heaven?
IQ: From the ring to the Wedding, will you wear your clothes or his?

Timothy Bayne || Matthew 16
Like Peter, we have been called and given identity from God, yet in the same breath that we express gratitude and faithfulness, we live a life of self-focus. The way we spend our money and resources, how we fight for and chase success, and how we live our lives for the approval of others instead of the approval found in the finished work of Jesus all reflect this inner-selfishness. Join us as we conclude another chapter in our series Covered in Dust, look back at the way others interpreted Jesus' purpose, and understand how to get back on track with His vision for our lives.
IQ: How can I die to selfishness and come alive to Christ’s selflessness?
