Christ’s resurrection isn’t just a past event—it’s a present invitation. The empty grave calls us not only to believe but to practice resurrection daily: to live with hope, walk in newness of life, and become more like Christ in a world desperate for restoration.

Through the cross (an instrument meant for death and dehumanization), Christ, the perfect human took all of the world’s sin-inducing death and shame and put it to death in his own body. Because of it, for those who respond in faith (i.e. embodied loyalty, fidelity, and allegiance to him and him alone) he offers reconciliation with God, redemption from our sin, a propitiation from God’s righteous wrath, and the pronouncement of justification.

City Parish desires to be a a community of justice, mercy, and reconciliation in a culture of injustice and division, through the practice of service and a community of hope and hospitality in a culture of sorrow and hostility, through the practice of witness.

God desires for his people to flourish. The rule of life practices of fasting and generosity help us walk with God in an intentional way that enables that flourishing. Take a listen as Joe helps us understand the what, why, and how of both of these incredible spiritual practices.

This week in our 'Rule of Life' mini-series within our Year of Biblical Literacy we tackled the practices of Prayer and Community. Both of those are wider known/adopted practices, but both come with an entire myriad of conflicting and problematic misunderstandings. Take a deep dive with us in this week's sermon.

A rule of life helps pattern our lives and set our rhythms around our values with the goal of being with Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and doing what Jesus did in the midst of a chaotic world. The liturgies of the world shape our desires, but sabbath and solitude are counter-liturgies, reorienting our hearts toward God’s kingdom instead of constant productivity and consumerism

Our third series within The Year of Biblical Literacy is ‘A Rule of Life.’ A rule of life gives us formative practices that constantly realign our affections/allegiances towards God’s Kingdom rather than the world’s demands. We’re including this page with a list of additional resources.
