For the last several weeks we have looked at the past work of Christ, his birth, death, and resurrection. This week we look ahead to his glorious return. While we do not know the day or hour he will return, Jesus encourages us to be ready for his coming.

Pastor Chris Ansell of CityReach Church Swissvale continues our sermon series, "We Believe..." This series will investigate one of the oldest creeds in the Christian tradition.

We Believe...He Was Conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit and Born of the Virgin Mary

Pastor Chris Ansell of CityReach Church Swissvale continues our sermon series, "We Believe..." This series will investigate one of the oldest creeds in the Christian tradition. This week we look at the human nature of Jesus as realized in his miraculous birth. The co-eternal person of the Trinity took on human flesh and was born of a virgin. In some circles this is called the incarnation. Jesus left his place of privilege on high and moved into the neighborhood (in the words of Eugene Peterson).

Pastor Chris Ansell of CityReach Church Swissvale continues our sermon series, "We Believe..." This series will investigate one of the oldest creeds in the Christian tradition.

We Believe...

Pastor Chris Ansell of CityReach Church Swissvale begins our new sermon series, "We Believe..." This series will investigate one of the oldest creeds in the Christian tradition. This week is an introduction to the creed investigating; what is a creed? Why is a creed important? And the opening clause "We believe." The goal of this series is not to build knowledge about God, but to see how these truths about God change our lives.

God's Love Is...

Pastor Chris Ansell of CityReach Church Swissvale shares an Easter reflection. How does God towards you? What is his disposition? Whether we feel it or not, God loves of deeply in Jesus Christ. His love moves towards us through Christ's life, it suffers with and for us in his death, and shows that it cannot be stopped in his resurrection.

The First Christians - The Ends of the Earth

Pastor Chris Ansell of CityReach Church Swissvale concludes our sermon series, "The Way of Jesus: The First Christians." The passage begins with Paul in prison, awaiting trial in the city of Rome. This shows the gospel going to the ends of the earth by going to the seat of the Roman Empire. Luke leaves the narrative on a cliffhanger, inviting us to write the next chapter of the book of Acts.

Passage: Acts 28:16-31
