    From Survival to Supply

    In this episode of the CityLight Church Podcast, Pastor Bo explores a powerful biblical paradox: the pathway to God’s strength begins with acknowledging our weakness. Drawing from the lives of Moses, Jacob, Paul, and others, he shows how self-sufficiency can become one of the greatest obstacles to experiencing God’s power, while humility and dependence position believers for breakthrough. Through practical teaching, personal stories, and Scripture, Pastor Bo encourages listeners to stop hiding their weaknesses, bring their needs honestly before God, and discover the freedom that comes from relying on His grace rather than their own strength. 00:00 Introduction: Stop Having Confidence in the Flesh 00:26 Welcome and Opening the Heart to God's Anointing 03:47 Biblical Pattern: Moses and Acting in the Flesh 06:54 Jacob's Limp: A Reminder to Rely on God 08:22 The Tension: Victorious Yet Weak 11:36 Paul's Resume and Counting It as Trash 14:49 The Montenegrin Story: Cultural Pride and Self-Sufficiency 23:59 Revelation 3: The Laodicean Church's Lukewarmness 30:20 2 Corinthians 12: Paul's Thorn in the Flesh 32:21 The Sabbatical Story: God Comes Through in Weakness 34:12 Acting on Weakness: From Thought to Action 36:27 The Power of Presenting Weakness to God 46:38 Luke 18: The Pharisee and the Tax Collector 44:22 Mephibosheth: Covenant Kindness at the King's Table 49:27 Closing Prayer and Altar Call https://citylightnyc.com/

    Crossing the Finish Line With Strength

    Today on the CityLight Church Podcast, Pastor Bo shares a timely message on one of the greatest dangers facing every believer: spiritual drift. Using Scripture, personal stories, and practical encouragement, he reminds listeners that people rarely walk away from God overnight—instead, faith often cools gradually through distraction, neglect, and misplaced priorities. 00:00 Introduction: The Danger of Spiritual Drift 03:14 Welcome and Volunteer Appreciation 06:25 Summer Life Groups and Staying Connected 07:24 The Floaty Story: Understanding Drift 12:07 Entropy and the Battle Against Decline 14:40 Paul's Example: Finishing Strong 23:33 Spiritual Health Checklist Part 1: Giving and Forgiveness 31:44 The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant 41:12 Spiritual Health Checklist Part 2: Burden for the Lost 45:29 Spiritual Health Checklist Part 3: Closeness to God and What Excites Us 51:36 Looking Ahead: Five-Year Trajectory 53:01 Communion: Partaking of Jesus for Wholeness https://citylightnyc.com/

    Plug Into the Positive

    In today's episode of the CityLight Church Podcast, guest speaker Pastor Maurice Johnson delivers an encouraging and faith-filled message on the power of choosing God's perspective in a world saturated with negativity. Drawing from Psalm 145, the teachings of Jesus, and the story of David and Goliath, Pastor Maurice challenges believers to intentionally "plug into the positive" by focusing on God's goodness, promises, and covenant rather than being ruled by circumstances, fear, or the constant negativity of the culture around them.  00:00 Introduction: God's Heart and Mercy 01:35 Welcome and Worship Declaration 05:08 Plugging Into the Positive 08:06 The Power of Your Words 13:20 Jesus Desires Mercy Not Sacrifice 16:30 David's Covenant Mindset vs the Army's Fear 21:56 David Confronts Goliath 31:04 Running Toward Your Problems 32:15 Cutting Off the Head of Your Problems 34:56 Altar Call and Testimonies of Provision https://citylightnyc.com/

    The Gift Has Already Been Given

    Today on the CityLight Podcast, Pastor Bo delivers a Pentecost Sunday message on the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the life-changing empowerment available to every believer. Tracing the story of Pentecost through the Gospels and the book of Acts, he explains how the coming of the Holy Spirit marked the birth of the New Covenant church and ushered believers into a new level of intimacy and power that was not available under the Old Covenant.  Pastor Bo closes with a practical and faith-filled invitation to receive, reminding listeners that God is not withholding the Holy Spirit—the gift has already been given. Our role is simply to receive by faith and step into the fullness of what God has made available. 00:00 Introduction and Pentecost Sunday 01:45 Old Covenant vs New Covenant 02:48 Two Purposes of This Message 03:57 Jesus' Emphasis on the Holy Spirit 10:19 Cultural Shifts and Maintaining Truth 12:43 Fountain vs Rivers: Two Distinct Experiences 20:00 The Day of Pentecost in Acts 2 24:43 Acts 8: The Samaritans Receive the Holy Spirit 28:39 Acts 10 and 19: More Biblical Examples 35:36 Altar Call and Receiving the Holy Spirit https://citylightnyc.com/

    From Empty Vessels to Overflow

    Today on the CityLight Podcast, Nathaniel St. Eloi delivers a powerful Mother’s Day message centered on the story of the widow in 2 Kings 4. Honoring mothers, spiritual mothers, and women of faith, he highlights how God consistently works through ordinary people whose obedience, prayer, and courage impact generations.Through the widow’s story, Nathaniel reminds listeners that God is not limited by what seems small or insignificant. What the woman believed was “not enough”—a small jar of oil—became the very thing God used for miraculous provision. Drawing a connection between the oil and the anointing of the Holy Spirit, he challenges believers to stop focusing on what they lack and recognize what God has already placed within them.The message emphasizes prophetic faith, obedience, prayer, and the importance of the secret place. As Nathaniel encourages listeners to become empty vessels before God, this episode becomes a timely reminder that breakthrough often begins with surrender. No matter how small the starting point may seem, God is able to bring overflow through what is already in your hands.(00:00) The Oil That Keeps You in the Last Days(01:05) Nathaniel St. Eloi Begins the Mother’s Day Message(03:59) The Faith of Nameless Women in Scripture(05:42) A Personal Story About Judah and Trusting the Father(09:28) 2 Kings 4 and the Widow with the Oil(14:22) From Death Sentence to Divine Provision(18:52) When the Prophetic Dies, Lack Enters In(26:06) What You Have Is Oil(41:20) The Power of Having the Right People Around You(56:59) Your New Address Is Overflowhttps://citylightnyc.com/

    Grit, Grace, and a Faith That Endures

    Deconstructing your faith is simply the trendy rebrand of an older word: backsliding. In this candid, unfiltered message from City Light Church, Pastor Bo examines the testimonies of those who have walked away from Jesus and uncovers a striking common thread — abundant religious activity paired with little to no genuine intimacy with God. From there, he lays out the four non-negotiables he and his wife refuse to compromise on, both in raising their children and in shepherding every believer at CityLight. If you've ever wondered why some Christians drift away while others finish strong, this message is for you.(00:26) Welcome to the CityLight Church Podcast(02:15) What Deconstruction Often Reveals About the Heart(05:29) What Jesus Actually Meant by Hypocrisy(06:34) Religious Activity Without Intimacy with God(09:00) Intimacy with Christ and Letting Jesus Truly Know You(13:05) Prayer as Honest Friendship with God(16:09) How the Word of God Works in Believers(21:24) Memorizing Scripture and Experiencing Breakthrough(26:00) Letting the Lord Build the House(33:10) Grit, Tenacity, and Refusing to Quit(42:31) Authenticity, Fear of Man, and Bold Faith(47:14) Serbia, Bosnia, and Closing Church Announcementshttps://citylightnyc.com/

    Serving the God of Increase

    On this episode of the CityLight Podcast, Pastor Bo delivers a practical and faith-filled message on tithing, stewardship, and trusting God as our provider. He pulls no punches: the rich rule the poor, AI and robots are coming, and Universal Basic Income is just a friendlier word for slavery. But there's an escape hatch — and it starts with a tenth. Drawing from Malachi, Proverbs, and his own journey from $1,500 in the bank to financial breakthrough, he unpacks eight principles of tithing that move it from guilt-driven duty to a holy act of worship that positions you for supernatural increase.(00:00) Opening Reflection on Tithing and Trust (05:24) Baptism, Belief, and Repentance (09:14) Why the Church Must Talk About Money (12:07) Debt, Slavery, and the World’s Financial System (17:27) Biblical Generosity and the Principle of Increase (21:12) Tithing as Faith in God’s Word (26:20) Stewardship, Discipline, and Knowing Your Finances (29:54) Tithing and Financial Increase (38:31) Honoring the Lord with First Fruits (42:30) First Fruits and the Blessed 90 Percent (49:21) Financial Transfer, Opportunity, and Obedience (52:34) Giving as a Personal Act Between You and God (57:27) Closing Prayer and Blessinghttps://citylightnyc.com/
