In this message, Pastor Craig Stephens teaches from Isaiah 58 on how real worship is more than songs and Sunday routines. It’s worship that moves outward toward others. When we love God vertically, it should overflow into compassion for people horizontally. This is the kind of faith that changes cities. Historically, Christians led in starting hospitals, caring for the poor, and showing up where needs were visible — and we’re called to continue that same kind of love today. Join us as we talk about what it means to serve our neighbors, care for the vulnerable, and practice a faith that blesses others and invites the blessing of God into our own lives.

In this message, Pastor Josh Slautterback kicks off our Church United series by talking about what it really means to love like Jesus. We use the word “love” all the time, but 1 John 3:16 shows us that real love isn’t just a feeling—it’s action. It’s costly. Pastor Josh shares personal stories and reminds us that Jesus showed us love by laying down His life, and we’re called to do the same for others. This week, we’re challenged to move past talking about love and start living it out—meeting needs, carrying burdens, and showing the kind of love that changes people.

In this powerful message, Pastor Robey challenges us to choose obedience over comfort by looking at the story of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in Numbers 32. These tribes chose to stay on the wrong side of the Jordan because it fit their preferences—but their decision carried lasting consequences for future generations. Through this story, we’re reminded that following God’s call often requires faith to step into the unknown rather than settling for what’s familiar. As our church steps forward in faith—launching a new Miami Springs campus, advancing digital discipleship, and seeking a hub campus along I-75—this message calls every believer to move with God’s mission and not miss out on the blessing of full obedience.

This past Sunday, we were honored to welcome special guest David Kinnaman, president of Barna Group, who shared an inspiring message on the importance of passing on faith to the next generation. Drawing from his personal experiences and groundbreaking research, David revealed that 72% of Americans are spiritually open and that 30 million people have committed to Jesus since the pandemic, reminding us that God is actively moving in our time. Using Paul’s final letter to Timothy as a model, he highlighted the power of emotional and spiritual connection between generations and shared personal stories—including the impact of his late wife’s prayers and the faith of his children. David encouraged us to take a simple, meaningful step by writing handwritten letters of faith to those we love, leaving behind a legacy of belief, hope, and community.

In the finale of our biggest series ever, Pastor Robey Barnes delivers a powerful message on victory through the book of Haggai. Drawing a striking parallel between the celebrations at the end of World War II and the ultimate victory found in Jesus Christ, Pastor Robey traces the prophetic line from Zerubbabel to Christ — the promised “seed” who conquered sin and death. This message calls us to live as people who are already victorious, to walk in the freedom and power Jesus has secured for us, and to rise as One Generation that builds God’s kingdom, transforms South Florida, and leaves a legacy for future generations. The sermon culminates in a moving vision of spiritual awakening — with children’s prayers and testimonies that display the transformative power of the Holy Spirit at work among us. 🔥 Join us as we celebrate the victory that changes everything.

This week at City Rev, Pastor Robey Barnes continued the One Generation series with Part 4: The Provision, a powerful message rooted in Haggai 2:15–19. Pastor Robey drew parallels between the Israelites’ journey, the WWII victory gardens, and City Rev’s vision to build for future generations. He reminded us that God turns seasons of scarcity into blessing when His people prioritize His house and live in obedience. Through stories of faith, reflection, and the call to sacrificial giving, the church was invited to commit—spiritually and financially—to the One Generation initiative. The service culminated in communion and prayer, a moving reminder that God’s provision always follows our trust in Him.

In Week 3 of the One Generation series, Pastor Robey Barnes encouraged the City Rev Church family to step into God’s vision for the next generation in South Florida. Using Haggai 2:1-19, he reminded everyone to “be strong and work,” trusting that God’s glory through Jesus will be even greater than what came before. Pastor Robey talked about how past mistakes and ruins don’t define us—Jesus is the true temple, and now we, as His followers, are called to bring renewal and hope wherever we go. The service invited people to get involved through mission briefings, use the “One Generation” handbook for guidance, and join in the church’s exciting initiatives like the Miami Springs campus, digital innovation, and building a hub campus—all with faith, boldness, and a heart for the future.

City Rev Church LivestreamIn Part 2 of our ONE GENERATION series, Pastor Robey Barnes calls our church to rise up and be part of a mighty move of God. Drawing from Haggai 1 and the sacrifices of past generations, he challenges us to prioritize God’s mission over our own comfort and plans. This message unpacks how true fulfillment comes when we surrender everything to Him and join together in His work. Discover how God is stirring our church through bold initiatives—like launching a Miami Springs campus, innovating digital discipleship, and establishing a hub campus in South Florida—and how you can be part of it. Don’t miss this powerful call to awaken, trust, and step fully into what God has for this generation.

This week, Pastor Robey Barnes challenges us to see the purpose God has placed on our generation. Through the inspiring story of Daniel Inouye, a World War II hero who displayed incredible courage and sacrifice, and the biblical account of the rebuilding of the Jerusalem temple in Haggai, we’re reminded that God is stirring His people for something significant. Just as God moved King Cyrus to resource and lead the rebuilding of the temple, He is at work today, uniting churches across South Florida for a spiritual awakening. Though challenges and opposition will come, the foundation has already been laid — and it’s our call to rise up, build, and pass the hope of Jesus to the next generation. Join us as we step into this historic moment together and discover how you can be part of what God is doing through the One Generation movement.

Wrap up our Big God series with Pastor Robey Barnes as he dives into Psalm 139 and the Goldilocks effect to show how perfectly God designed our world — and how deeply He loves you. In this message, we’ll tackle the tough question, “If God is good, why does evil exist?” and discover how the gospel brings hope through Jesus’ sacrifice. Don’t miss this inspiring finale as we step into a season of prayer, fasting, and community through the City Rev app and small groups!

In Psalm 139, David marvels at the God who created the universe yet still knows us intimately. Pastor Josh unpacks how God’s omnipotence is not just displayed in galaxies and stars but also in the way He fearfully and wonderfully made each one of us. This message reminds us that God’s power is deeply personal—He formed us with care, has sovereign purposes for our lives, and calls us to embrace the unique design He’s given us.

In this message, Pastor Robey unpacks the incredible truth of God’s omnipresence from Psalm 139. We often wonder if anyone sees us in our darkest moments, most unfamiliar places, or times of struggle — but the Bible reminds us that God is always with us. His presence brings both comfort and conviction: comfort because we are never alone, and conviction because His holiness calls us to live authentically before Him. This sermon challenges us to remember, practice, and trust in God’s presence in every moment of our lives, so that even in the shadows we can walk in His light and strength.

In the opening message of the Big God series, Pastor Robey Barnes takes us into Psalm 139 to reflect on the immensity of God and His intimate knowledge of our lives. Using the staggering power of a neutron star as an analogy, he highlights God’s omniscience—He knows our thoughts, motives, and even the unspoken corners of our hearts. This reality can be both unsettling and comforting: unsettling because nothing is hidden, yet comforting because the One who knows us fully also loves us deeply. The message challenges us to live with reverent fear of God while also running toward Him in faith, finding hope in the saving work of Jesus Christ.

In Prayer, Part 3, Pastor Robey Barnes takes us to Acts 12 to explore how prayer is the “signature move” of every believer—our God-given way to activate His mission on earth. Drawing from Peter’s miraculous prison release, Pastor Robey shows how earnest, persistent prayer has the power to break chains, open doors, and unleash God’s plans in ways we can’t predict. More than a “spiritual cheat code,” prayer is an act of surrender, aligning us with God’s sovereign will and trusting that His ways are always good. This message calls us to pray with bold faith, together as the church, and to embrace prayer as the defining action of a life lived on mission.

In the second message of our Prayer Series, Pastor Robey unpacks the story of Mary and Martha to highlight the one thing that matters most—being with Jesus. While Martha was distracted by doing, Mary chose to sit at His feet, receiving what Jesus calls “the good portion.” This sermon challenges us to stop measuring our relationship with God by how much we do for Him, and instead prioritize simply being with Him. Discover what it means to build a prayer life centered on presence, not performance.

In the first message of our Prayers series, Pastor Robey Barnes unpacks what it really means to pray in Jesus’ name—and no, it’s not like trying to rob a bank with someone else’s ID. Praying in His name isn’t about using a magic phrase to get what we want; it’s about abiding in Christ, aligning with His will, and accessing the power of heaven for His purposes. When we truly understand this, our prayers become powerful, fruitful, and life-changing.

In the final message of our All Pro series, Pastor Robey Barnes shares a powerful look at King David—not in his most well-known moments, but in the quiet, often overlooked season before the crown. Long before Goliath, the throne, or the spotlight, God was shaping David to make a real impact in his everyday life. This message challenges the idea that spiritual influence is reserved for the “official” leaders and instead shows how God is calling you to live with purpose right where you are—today, not someday. Discover how your current season, job, or platform might be the exact place God wants to work through you to impact the city around you.

In Part 5 of our All Pro summer series, Pastor Josh Slautterback unpacks the powerful story of Joseph in Genesis 41, where Pharaoh recognizes something divine in Joseph: the presence of God’s Spirit. This sermon reminds us that the Holy Spirit doesn’t just empower us on Sunday mornings—it equips us to lead, build, serve, and innovate throughout our daily lives. Whether you’re managing a team, a classroom, a home, or a business, your work becomes worship when it’s fueled by God’s Spirit. Learn how to live and lead in a way that brings excellence and transformation, just like Joseph did in Egypt.

What does integrity look like when the heat gets turned up? In this powerful message, Pastor Craig Stephens takes us through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3. These three young men didn’t just claim to follow God—they proved it when everything was on the line. Their courage in the face of cultural pressure and a blazing furnace reveals what it means to have character that doesn’t bend. Discover how small daily decisions of faithfulness prepare us to stand firm in moments that truly matter. This message will inspire you to live boldly and trust that your integrity can glorify God and impact others—even in the fire.

In Part 3 of the All Pro series, Pastor Jeremy Agosto challenges us to rethink what true excellence really means. Drawing from the story of Daniel and King Belshazzar in Daniel 5, we see two very different paths: one built on pride and self-promotion, the other rooted in wisdom, humility, and faithfulness to God. Daniel didn’t chase status—he served others with the gifts God gave him, even in hostile environments. This message calls us to do the same. Excellence isn’t about showing off; it’s about showing up for others and reflecting God’s glory through how we work, lead, and live. If you’ve ever wondered how to make a real impact for the Kingdom in your everyday life, this sermon is for you.
