How to Read Your Bible
Jonathan longed for a deeper relationship with God, but felt overwhelmed every time he opened his Bible. His “Bible in a Year” attempts often fizzled out by March, leaving him feeling defeated and distant from God. Sometimes, he wondered if he could really understand God’s Word without a theology degree. If Jonathan’s experience mirrors your own, we have good news for you. City Church has prepared two classes on March 1st & March 8th, which will equip you to read…
Pro-Choice or Pro-Life
Michael cared deeply about justice and human dignity, but when conversations about pro-life and pro-choice came up, he often felt unprepared. He heard strong opinions from every side—at work, online, and even among friends at church—but struggled to understand what the Bible actually teaches and how Christians should think about this issue. At times, he avoided the topic altogether, unsure how to respond thoughtfully or biblically. If Michael’s experience sounds familiar, we have good news for you. City Church is…
Testimony at Work and School
Sarah, a curious skeptic, met Jake, a passionate believer, at their local Beijing gym. One day, over post-workout smoothies, Jake shared the transformation he had seen in his life after coming to faith. Intrigued, Sarah agreed to visit his church. She sensed a genuine atmosphere of community and love, and felt a profound spiritual shift. Over time, inspired by Jake’s testimony and the hope it offered, Sarah embraced Christianity. Interestingly, sharing his testimony wasn’t something that came naturally to Jake.…
Church History and Denominations
Sarah loved the local church but often felt confused by the many Christian denominations she encountered. She wondered why churches that all claimed to follow Jesus differed in their beliefs, practices, and traditions. At times, church history felt distant or irrelevant, and she wasn’t sure how events from centuries ago shaped the church she knew today. If Sarah’s experience mirrors your own, we have good news for you. City Church has prepared a discipleship class on Church History and Denominations…
Understanding the Old Testament
Have you ever received a package, opened it, and thought, “Wait, I didn’t order this. What even IS this?” Sometimes we feel like this reading the Bible. We struggle to see how certain passages have anything to do with us, as if parts of Scripture have surely arrived at our address by mistake. This sense of confusion is especially acute when we read the Old Testament. To better understand the Bible and make sense of the Old Testament, join our…
Understanding the New Testament
Have you ever received a package, opened it, and thought, “Wait, I didn’t order this. What even IS this?” Sometimes we have a similar feeling while reading the Bible. We struggle to see how certain passages have anything to do with us, as if parts of Scripture have surely arrived at our address by mistake. Even though the New Testament is often studied in church, there are still many confusing passages. To better understand the Bible and make sense of…
Hospitality as Evangelism
Shumei embraced hospitality as her evangelistic tool. She welcomed neighbors into her home, offering steaming cups of tea and heartfelt conversations. Shumei shared her faith through these simple acts of kindness. But only a year before, Shumei never hosted people at her house. She knew she wanted to share her faith, and had a sunny living room where she could host her neighbors. But she didn’t know how to start until she joined a church class which shared many practical…
Theology of Missions
Mark has been attending City Church, and recently, he’s felt a growing tug in his heart about missions. He knows that God calls believers to share the gospel with the world, but he isn’t sure what that really means or how he can be involved. To gain a deeper understanding, Mark joined the Discipleship Class on “Theology of Missions”. In this class, he learned what missions truly is, why it’s vital to God’s plan, and how each of us can…
Scripture and the Canon
Daniel trusted the Bible, but sometimes found himself wondering how it all came together. Why were these books included in Scripture and not others? Who decided what belonged in the Bible, and could it really be trusted as God’s Word? At times, these questions made him uneasy, and he wasn’t sure where to find clear, thoughtful answers. If Daniel’s experience mirrors your own, we have good news for you. City Church has prepared a discipleship class on Scripture and the…
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
Emily and James longed to start a family, but as they considered IVF, they found themselves facing questions they weren’t prepared to answer. Medical options advanced quickly, but they weren’t sure how Scripture spoke into such a complex and personal decision. They wondered how to think biblically about life, technology, and faith without oversimplifying the issue or relying only on cultural opinions. If Emily and James’ experience mirrors your own, we have good news for you. City Church is offering…
