This episode is a heartfelt invitation to join us in creating your own trail of stones to remember the phenomenal ways God has moved this past year. We've witnessed the birth of new ministries and the spiritual growth within City Light Church. As we share these stories, you'll be encouraged to look back with gratitude and forward with expectation.

Our journey through the Scriptures has been both enriching and enlightening, offering a deeper understanding of God's word. As we cast vision for the future and reflect on the dynamism of the early Christian community, we are reminded of the unity and devotion that underpin our faith. Join us as we retrace our steps and look to the horizon, ready for the work God has for us.

00:00.221 --> 00:08.046
And as they would walk by, they would throw the stone and it would serve as a memorial centuries later to Recall the past victories.

00:08.628 --> 00:10.795
There is a power to that, you know.

00:10.835 --> 00:24.819
Every time we give a testimony, we're recalling a past victory, and the Bible says there's a power to our testimony, and so we're going to spend this service Recalling and remembering and building a memorial to God of the past victories we've had in the year 2023.

00:25.079 --> 00:25.240
Amen.

00:26.303 --> 00:28.428
Welcome to the City Light Church podcast.

00:28.668 --> 00:34.963
Thanks for joining us today as we look into God's word and discover the hope and truth that he has for us.

00:44.784 --> 00:51.280
Pastor Boyan Jansic and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds.

00:52.643 --> 01:02.429
As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God, that you are surrounded by his grace and that he has a real hope and a future for you.

01:05.543 --> 01:07.199
Are you ready for the best year of your lives?

01:08.883 --> 01:10.105
This is what I'm believing for.

01:10.586 --> 01:19.280
I'm believing it for me, my family, for the people who call City Light home, and I want you to believe it for yourself the best year we've ever had.

01:20.083 --> 01:21.007
Let's go to Joshua.

01:22.685 --> 01:25.173
Joshua, chapter 4, verses 1 through 3.

01:25.193 --> 01:27.280
I want to show you a powerful principle from the word of God.

01:28.784 --> 01:49.280
This is after many, many years, various trials and tribulations, after the children of Israel were supernaturally delivered out of Egypt, wandered around in the wilderness for 40 years, highs, lows, temptations, finally crossed over the Jordan into the promised land.

01:49.601 --> 01:52.750
And this is what God instructs them to do.

01:53.801 --> 01:56.529
This means that it's very important to God.

01:58.542 --> 02:04.814
When all the people had crossed the Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua now choose 12 men, one from each tribe.

02:05.761 --> 02:19.273
Tell them take 12 stones from the very place where the priests are standing in the middle of the Jordan, carry them out and pile them up at the place where you will camp tonight.

02:20.143 --> 02:21.208
What were these stones?

02:22.331 --> 02:23.280
They were memorial stones.

02:25.024 --> 02:27.670
12 men together, 12 stones.

02:28.171 --> 02:28.953
Throwing a pile.

02:29.701 --> 02:48.126
To anybody would have just looked like a pile of rocks, but to them it would have served as a reminder for them and for future generations, a reminder of the goodness of God, a reminder of past faithfulness, a reminder of past victories, and throughout the scriptures that's a common theme.

02:48.166 --> 02:51.332
The Lord says remember, remember, remember.

02:52.400 --> 02:54.165
Do you know why he says remember so often?

02:54.766 --> 03:04.240
Because we're so prone to forget, and this isn't the first time the children of Israel or a people of God were instructed to do this.

03:04.661 --> 03:14.950
Jacob, when he had that encounter with God at Bethel, he made a monument of stones Over and over again throughout the scriptures after victory.

03:15.733 --> 03:20.270
Sometimes it was one person, sometimes, in this case, it was 12, sometimes it was in the tens of thousands.

03:20.310 --> 03:21.637
Each one was asked to pick up a stone.

03:21.657 --> 03:30.974
Imagine what that looked like and as they would walk by, they would throw the stone and it would serve as a memorial centuries later to recall the past victories.

03:31.561 --> 03:32.987
There is a power to that.

03:33.522 --> 03:33.723
You know.

03:33.763 --> 03:49.240
Every time we give a testimony, we're recalling a past victory, and the Bible says there's a power to our testimony, and so we're going to spend this service recalling and remembering and building a memorial to God of the past victories we've had in the year 2023, amen.

03:50.222 --> 03:54.212
And here's what I'd like to encourage you to do, this is my wife and I we're going to do this as we ring in the new year.

03:54.481 --> 03:56.588
It takes all of ten minutes, but it's very powerful.

03:57.641 --> 04:10.280
Get a piece of paper and just write the months of the calendar year January, february, march, april, may and, next to each month, just put down one victory, the best victory that the Lord gave you in that month.

04:11.282 --> 04:11.823
Think back.

04:12.585 --> 04:24.069
If the year seems like a blur like it does for many of us when you try to think back, and if you don't journal, I found, if you just go through the camera roll of your phone, have you ever done that Like ah, I forgot I even took that trip in February.

04:24.420 --> 04:28.023
Oh, look at that, I was at such and such place.

04:28.123 --> 04:44.011
And then that causes you to remember something great that the Lord did last February, march, and just write that down and thank the Lord for every month and thank the Lord for what he's done, and get yourself ready, because I'm believing that 2024 is going to be our best year ever.

04:44.332 --> 04:46.003
Amen, hallelujah.

04:48.142 --> 04:59.222
So Pastor Mo and Pastor James are going to be helping me today, but I want to kick it off with some of our victories, some of our memorial stones for 2023 and how good the Lord has been to us as a church Number one.

04:59.863 --> 05:17.235
We were able to partner with Yovit Sobaczmanski, a missionary whom we've supported for nearly ten years in Montenegro, to plant an entirely different church in the country of Serbia and under reached nation.

05:17.982 --> 05:20.187
There's plenty of beautiful buildings, church buildings there.

05:20.227 --> 05:35.910
There's plenty of people who will say that they're Christian, but very few Bible believing churches, and if you would interview people on the street, you'd realize that the people who name Jesus as their Lord and Savior is less than 0.01% those who actually would say I'm saved because I put my faith in Christ.

05:36.681 --> 05:38.668
So a lot of religion, very little relationship.

05:39.400 --> 05:44.260
So, thanks to you, $15,000 plus dollars, which goes very far in Serbia, helped launch that church.

05:44.641 --> 05:54.513
Let's put our hands together for that victory and watch this video clip Pastor Yovit sent us from his first service just a few weeks ago when he launched out.

05:56.141 --> 06:00.748
Greetings and blessings from Mavisar Serbia, from Christ Gospel Church.

06:01.309 --> 06:05.775
In a few moments we are going to start our new church meetings.

06:06.581 --> 06:12.452
I just wanted to share this special moment with you, much, much more than Mavisar.

06:14.925 --> 06:16.068
Yeah, put your hands together.

06:17.701 --> 06:18.884
He's an awesome man of God.

06:18.944 --> 06:20.668
He reminds me a lot of the Apostle Paul.

06:20.709 --> 06:26.024
He's tough as nails and in these countries where I'm from, you start preaching the Gospel.

06:26.324 --> 06:30.969
It reminds me of the first century, where the religious people it says they gnashed at the Apostles with their teeth.

06:32.292 --> 06:40.099
We think people are angry in America when you preach the true gospel, when you start irritating that religious spirit Del Del, there's just such a violence that comes out.

06:40.250 --> 06:47.676
But he will not quit, he will not back down and we're trusting for big fruit, great fruit, to come from that ministry.

06:49.190 --> 07:06.097
Number two, as a highlight from 2023, we were able to give $25,000 plus dollars that you raised for Bonnie Andrews and Live Jam, the ministry that he has in reaching college campuses and people who haven't heard the gospel all across the country in college campuses.

07:06.410 --> 07:18.700
Let's put our hand together for that and let's look at this video Bonnie Andrews, I'm here Come on, People that are having any sort of mental health issues.

07:19.370 --> 07:21.177
They don't need drugs, but they need hugs.

07:22.072 --> 07:23.858
Would you hand together for Dr?

07:23.898 --> 07:24.159
Needy.

07:25.570 --> 07:29.838
But even though I focus on the brain, I know that the brain doesn't operate in isolation.

07:30.058 --> 07:40.517
So we still have to think about how we navigate through our lives, all the experiences that we have, how those impact our lives, how those impact our brains, and how our spiritual practices can also impact our brains as well.

07:41.070 --> 07:44.413
Give a warm round of applause for Sheena Quater Paul.

07:44.433 --> 07:45.482
We're painting from up there.

07:46.330 --> 07:52.113
I don't know of any job that films your mistakes, and so a lot of people.

07:52.133 --> 08:04.437
We had to talk about the pressure of making mistakes, because if you make a mistake it's gonna cost you A lot of people run from God, but I'm telling you tonight you need to run too.

08:04.457 --> 08:09.378
God, the only thing that's gonna heal and help their brokenness is Jesus Christ.

08:10.054 --> 08:12.676
Tell me how it won't show, not uncomfortably enough.

08:13.311 --> 08:22.165
This felt like really adjuvantated and inspired and it was really effective in getting the message across of like heading Jesus to be part of your life, god's part of your life.

08:22.631 --> 08:24.380
I'm telling you it's gonna change your life.

08:24.510 --> 08:30.144
So we have the Bible right outside the gospel done for every person in this group, but if you start, we need this book.

08:30.911 --> 08:33.078
I'm telling you, the mental health is gonna shoot.

08:33.570 --> 08:34.432
I like that.

08:34.493 --> 08:37.781
The content was direct and it was responsive.

08:38.150 --> 08:39.777
You wanted to engage in it.

08:39.810 --> 08:42.275
They didn't avoid the gospel, they didn't avoid Jesus.

08:42.330 --> 08:43.576
They looked at real problems.

08:43.910 --> 08:46.215
It was easy to get saved in this meeting.

08:49.262 --> 08:52.176
Amen, amen.

08:52.216 --> 09:00.216
The only thing that we can take to heaven with us is souls, and the most important thing on Jesus' heart is the salvation of new people.

09:01.490 --> 09:03.577
So I want that to be the most important thing on my heart.

09:04.330 --> 09:04.872
I don't wanna tell you.

09:04.912 --> 09:05.515
I'm privileged.

09:05.890 --> 09:12.237
I'm blessed that we have a church that can sow seed and bless ministries in other nations.

09:14.050 --> 09:14.994
Bless ministries here.

09:15.810 --> 09:25.295
Bless a man of God like Bonnie Andrews, who can go around now on college campuses and bring the uncompromised word of God and the gospel of power.

09:27.610 --> 09:30.837
And when I say I'm blessed and I'm privileged is because without you it wouldn't be possible.

09:31.370 --> 09:40.199
I mean, $25,000 is no chump change and we just had him preach here once and we raised nearly 90% of it that first week.

09:40.730 --> 09:42.056
Didn't even, you know, when we raised money.

09:42.170 --> 09:43.175
We don't make a big push.

09:43.290 --> 09:45.514
We just said here's the need, do what the Lord says do.

09:47.453 --> 09:49.940
And it came up right like 90% that first week.

09:50.130 --> 09:52.557
And then I phoned him.

09:52.598 --> 09:53.721
I said it's awesome.

09:53.830 --> 10:00.539
23,000 came in and we were all rejoicing and then somebody said, no, it's gonna be more than 25,000.

10:03.430 --> 10:09.614
Hallelujah, number three a memorial stone I wanna put on that pillar of victories.

10:10.356 --> 10:12.502
This year is our baptisms.

10:12.610 --> 10:16.119
We've baptized over 80 people in 2023.

10:16.220 --> 10:19.458
Amen and baptisms are important.

10:20.970 --> 10:27.016
I personally feel like there's been an intentional diluting of the power of baptism and the doctrine of baptism.

10:27.130 --> 10:31.739
It's now treated kind of as an afterthought, like if you get around to it, get water baptized.

10:31.870 --> 10:33.918
But to Jesus it was so important.

10:34.010 --> 10:35.697
Number one, he modeled it as our example.

10:35.790 --> 10:47.879
Number two, when he gave us the great commission, he mentioned baptism in there Go, preach the gospel, baptizing Amen, and he said those that believe and are baptized.

10:47.990 --> 10:50.178
Baptized when you truly believe in Jesus.

10:50.870 --> 10:51.814
It's the next step.

10:52.490 --> 11:07.458
When you truly give your life to Jesus, you want to do what his word says to do and what his word says to do next, immediately after you believe, is show your faith with a work that you have faith in your heart and demonstrate and be baptized.

11:08.590 --> 11:09.775
So let's take a look at this video.

11:10.850 --> 11:12.357
Congratulations on making it here.

11:12.570 --> 11:15.856
How many of you you felt like something was resisting you to get you just from showing up today?

11:16.290 --> 11:17.756
Yeah, that usually is the case.

11:18.530 --> 11:19.675
The enemy hates baptism.

11:19.990 --> 11:21.356
He does not want you getting baptized.

11:21.630 --> 11:23.658
It's solidifying your relationship with Jesus.

11:23.850 --> 11:25.757
It's solidifying the decision that you've made.

11:26.550 --> 11:29.600
I just want to encourage you to prepare your heart for what's going to happen.

11:29.710 --> 11:30.694
I want you to forget about.

11:30.714 --> 11:31.217
This is key.

11:31.350 --> 11:36.019
Forget about every other person who want to immortalize this moment.

11:36.070 --> 11:40.416
Just be thinking of one thing on your way to getting baptized, there's going to be people praying for you.

11:40.790 --> 11:42.617
I'll meet with you and ask you five questions.

11:43.010 --> 11:45.677
Do you believe that Jesus Christ was born in the Virgin Mary?

11:46.370 --> 11:47.504
I want you to just be thinking about Jesus.

11:48.010 --> 11:49.941
Do you believe that he walked this earth in every skin?

11:50.510 --> 11:53.267
Do you believe that he died of a claw and what he accomplished for you?

11:53.691 --> 11:55.998
And you just surrender your whole life.

11:56.893 --> 11:58.261
And that he's coming back in power, and glory for you.

11:59.951 --> 12:01.457
You wonder, what should I be thinking about?

12:01.851 --> 12:04.339
To render trust and let go, heal and surrender.

12:04.990 --> 12:05.733
In Jesus' name.

12:05.753 --> 12:06.817
We welcome your presence.

12:08.011 --> 12:10.759
In Jesus as your own personal Lord and thank you.

12:11.890 --> 12:14.618
Go and take back a lunch and give baptized to Jesus' name.

12:16.230 --> 12:28.854
Something that universal man has always understood, and that's this that there has to be a bloodshed for the forgiveness of sins, and the scripture says that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.

12:31.350 --> 12:38.889
I thank you, father, in Jesus' name, amen, hallelujah.

12:39.854 --> 12:44.534
Hallelujah, hallelujah.

12:47.110 --> 12:48.874
Thank you, lord, for such a victory.

12:49.936 --> 12:50.939
Praise God, I'm sorry.

12:50.959 --> 12:54.215
I just saw that video for the first time last service and I still can't get past it.

12:55.010 --> 12:56.616
Can I believe you let me out of the house like that?

12:56.697 --> 13:04.803
Emily, I'm looking like Tony Soprano, just missing the gold watch and gold chain.

13:04.823 --> 13:06.950
Good Lord, you were thinking it right.

13:07.612 --> 13:08.938
I said out loud what you were thinking.

13:09.010 --> 13:10.339
They're cracking up in the front row.

13:11.043 --> 13:11.990
I wasn't feeling well.

13:12.535 --> 13:18.877
I almost couldn't make it to baptism and I said I'm going to dress comfortable, pastor Mo and Pastor James.

13:19.757 --> 13:22.990
And then you see that, and it's just, my wife is too supportive, too encouraging.

13:23.391 --> 13:25.558
Whenever I say, hey, you know every husband, how do I look?

13:26.140 --> 13:28.288
And she's like oh you look great, babe, you've got to stop doing that.

13:28.308 --> 13:29.010
You've got to tell me the truth.

13:29.652 --> 13:31.216
This is not honesty.

13:31.256 --> 13:42.970
Before the Lord, hallelujah Number four.

13:43.010 --> 13:51.000
We preached through three series the book of Ephesians, romans, chapter six, seven and eight and the book of Galatians.

13:51.020 --> 13:57.077
Took us eight plus weeks to get through Galatians and I count that as a victory, because it was all expository preaching.

13:58.050 --> 14:03.090
Expository preaching is when you go line upon line and you go through entire verses of the Bible.

14:04.418 --> 14:07.887
It's actually how the majority of the preaching was done, historically speaking, at least in America.

14:08.150 --> 14:12.427
From what I've studied, topical preaching also powerful.

14:12.487 --> 14:21.910
We do it all the time the Lord lays a subject or a topic on your heart and then you find various scriptures to open up and unpack that particular topic.

14:22.010 --> 14:40.269
But it just seems that topical preaching has way surpassed expository preaching because it is so much easier and simpler on the people, which is also unfortunately facilitated a lot of Biblically literacy in the body of Christ, because sometimes you really gotta dig deep there.

14:40.471 --> 14:43.963
There's nobody juggling for you, the lasers are not, nobody's entertaining you.

14:43.983 --> 15:02.026
You gotta get in there and absorb the Word of God and I hope that, as we went through these various series and went through entire books of the Bible, that you're not only benefited from the subject matter that was preached, but that you also learned how to study the Bible and read the Bible for you, that you can see that every single verse is pregnant with truth and revelation.

15:03.036 --> 15:04.329
There's no filler material in the Bible.

15:04.512 --> 15:05.508
Nothing is there by accident.

15:07.079 --> 15:08.810
But if the Word of God gives us life, amen.

15:08.911 --> 15:13.510
So we celebrate these victories as we build a memorial to the Lord.

15:14.856 --> 15:21.410
I wanna ask Pastor Moe, our volunteer and community pastor, to come and share some of the victories that he's seen this year.

15:21.410 --> 15:22.111
He's seen this year.

15:28.410 --> 15:28.912
Happy New Year church.

15:31.791 --> 15:34.738
So I wanna give you guys a number to start off with.

15:35.732 --> 15:37.502
That number is 58.

15:38.306 --> 15:42.635
That was the number of life groups that we had this year alone at City Light Church.

15:43.417 --> 15:50.238
Oh yeah, so these are the home groups that meet from house to house.

15:50.305 --> 15:56.110
We had those in three different boroughs in Brooklyn, manhattan and Queens and also meeting digitally on Zoom.

15:56.665 --> 16:02.597
We had over 700 signups and attendees that attended these groups.

16:05.169 --> 16:06.752
No, you can clap and praise God for that.

16:09.145 --> 16:11.973
What you don't understand is there are two City Light churches.

16:13.285 --> 16:23.168
There's a City Light church that meets on Sunday morning and a guest might casually come and say, oh, this is a nice place, but then you miss out on the second City Light and the second City Light.

16:23.228 --> 16:25.675
If you attend Life Group, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

16:26.205 --> 16:36.832
That's the place where you meet your friends, that's the place where you get prayer, that's the place where you get accountability and growth and it's the kingdom of God and it truly is the family of God.

16:37.905 --> 16:50.389
I've seen so many breakthroughs happen just this past semester alone People walking in distraught, broken and hurting and leaving out buoyant, joyful and happy, eating fried chicken.

16:52.087 --> 16:53.992
Because, listen, if your Life Group ain't got food.

16:54.313 --> 16:55.355
What are we really doing?

16:57.168 --> 16:57.629
No, literally.

16:57.870 --> 16:59.997
It's a place where there is fellowship.

17:00.077 --> 17:03.149
It's true friendship, it's true accountability.

17:03.865 --> 17:09.288
Have you ever gone through trouble and made the wrong decision because you were isolated in your own thoughts?

17:10.705 --> 17:14.833
I've learned this Christianity is not meant to be done in isolation.

17:17.385 --> 17:24.794
Christianity is meant to be done in community, with accountability, with friends that'll tell you don't wear that, don't do that.

17:25.625 --> 17:27.653
See this red flag over here Beaming.

17:28.225 --> 17:29.850
I need you to see that, because sometimes we don't see that.

17:29.870 --> 17:37.293
All right, let me read you a verse from the Bible Acts 2.46 says so.

17:37.433 --> 17:45.416
Continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart.

17:46.106 --> 17:46.869
This is Life Groups.

17:48.125 --> 17:57.576
This is meeting together, growing together and making sure that we're bearing fruit, because on a Sunday morning you don't really get to minister.

17:57.705 --> 18:05.072
You get ministered too, but at a Life Group you get to minister, you get to pray for people, you get to grow in your gifting.

18:05.605 --> 18:11.490
It's a beautiful thing, because we've seen our Life Groups explode and grow and we give God the glory for that.

18:12.505 --> 18:14.010
We've seen people heal at Life Groups.

18:14.211 --> 18:14.933
We had a couple.

18:15.265 --> 18:24.312
They actually went on a honeymoon trip and they left early to make sure that they were back in time for their Life Group.

18:25.665 --> 18:28.500
That should tell you the level of diligence, because they understood.

18:28.842 --> 18:30.248
I don't want to miss out nothing.

18:31.065 --> 18:32.711
If God is showing up, I want to be there.

18:34.049 --> 18:48.247
And again, it's a beautiful thing when you can have somebody walk into a room that is despondent, hurting and broken, and they sit down, they don't say a word and their Life Group members come alongside them and go hey, what's going on?

18:49.945 --> 18:54.656
And then they can share and they can open up, and then people can pray with them and build them up.

18:55.305 --> 18:58.828
That is such a powerful thing In a city of isolation and loneliness.

18:59.970 --> 19:03.816
We celebrate that God has given us community and Life Groups.

19:04.918 --> 19:06.767
Amen, praise God.

19:11.185 --> 19:14.132
Another thing that we're going to thank God for is the healing rooms.

19:15.275 --> 19:19.130
Yeah, see those sounds, those whoops that you hear.

19:19.545 --> 19:23.947
These are the people that have gone to healing rooms and they've received the ministry, basically the healing rooms.

19:23.987 --> 19:27.416
What we do is we endeavor to live out the Scriptures.

19:27.565 --> 19:31.796
It says that we would lay our hands upon the sick as believers and they would recover.

19:32.305 --> 19:41.552
So on the second Saturday of every month, we pray for the sick at 4609 31st Avenue, right around the corner where we'll be having church next Sunday.

19:43.905 --> 19:45.510
We've seen some amazing things church.

19:46.865 --> 19:47.507
We've seen people.

19:47.547 --> 19:54.391
Matter of fact, just this year one of our members was diagnosed with cancer, so they received prayer.

19:55.025 --> 19:57.654
They also received their treatment and now they're cancer free.

19:58.627 --> 20:00.011
Can we give God glory for that?

20:01.425 --> 20:03.793
I mean we've seen blood diseases healed.

20:04.105 --> 20:13.115
We've literally seen people that, excuse me, one of their legs is shorter than the other and we've seen actively seen with our own eyes, their leg grow out.

20:14.305 --> 20:19.888
They've had to get new orthopedic shoes and their doctor was like where you been, what are you doing?

20:21.625 --> 20:27.917
So the God that we serve, the Bible says that he's the same yesterday, today and forever.

20:29.105 --> 20:34.697
The same power and miracles that you see in the Bible, that you have access to that today.

20:35.705 --> 20:36.327
So we celebrate.

20:36.367 --> 20:38.854
We prayed for over 75 people this year.

20:39.545 --> 20:44.657
We've seen so many testimonies of people walking in one way, leaving out the other.

20:45.485 --> 20:54.372
I love when I see sometimes people walk in with canes and then you got to chase them down the block when the appointment is over, like you forgot your cane and they're like I don't want it.

20:56.345 --> 20:57.490
We've seen that at the healing room.

20:57.625 --> 21:07.813
So we celebrate God, we celebrate his healing power, his anointing the blood of Jesus that gives us access to supernatural healing, we praise God.

21:09.445 --> 21:13.867
And another thing that we praise God for our volunteers, oh yeah.

21:15.345 --> 21:24.032
So everything that you see here, from the lights to the beautiful decorations, even my clothes no, not my clothes, but everything that you see.

21:24.252 --> 21:26.217
You see, because we have a team of people behind us.

21:26.785 --> 21:29.753
It is not just Pastor Bo, pastor James and I that makes this church run.

21:30.905 --> 21:37.626
We are the leadership, but we have a team of people and really they are the answer to prayer.

21:38.505 --> 21:39.131
We praise that.

21:39.212 --> 21:56.872
God Help us to build your kingdom and he sent us amazing men and women that love Jesus and are willing to pour out of their time, their effort, their energy, their money to make sure that the kingdom of God and the gospel is going forth with power.

21:58.306 --> 22:08.416
Now, knowing that that is the case, that they give so selflessly to build up the kingdom, we always want to celebrate, acknowledge and just declare that God is doing a wonderful work.

22:08.756 --> 22:09.998
Now I'm the community pastor.

22:10.425 --> 22:14.476
If you don't know me, one thing you will know or get to know about me very quickly I like to party.

22:16.269 --> 22:17.031
It's within my nature.

22:18.465 --> 22:26.476
More like if it has to do with food, we're going to do it, and every year I'm responsible for making sure that we celebrate our volunteers.

22:26.905 --> 22:29.534
So basically this is what it looks like.

22:30.145 --> 22:32.613
I call up Pastor Bo and I say Pastor Bo, I want to have a party.

22:33.825 --> 22:35.532
And the first thing Pastor Bo says is what's the number?

22:36.948 --> 22:38.894
And I say Pastor Bo, I want to have a party.

22:39.245 --> 22:40.350
He said what's the number.

22:40.425 --> 22:44.773
I said I want to have a party on a boat and he said what's the number?

22:44.885 --> 22:50.148
I said it's a boat, but he did say yes.

23:12.239 --> 23:15.342
Let's take a look at this video.

23:21.411 --> 23:26.599
Her stylist thought she was going to the Oscars instead of the city-like volunteer party.

23:28.513 --> 23:29.661
Hey, all right.

23:33.031 --> 23:34.433
We're celebrating today.

23:37.750 --> 23:38.780
Awesome.

23:44.193 --> 23:45.595
The face goes through the ages.

23:45.635 --> 23:46.736
The word goes to.

23:55.035 --> 24:04.635
And Father, thank you for what's about to take place, as Rob and Yari Martino come on up, because we're going to ordain them into the ministry today.

24:05.465 --> 24:09.013
So this isn't just a ceremony for the sake of a ceremony.

24:09.053 --> 24:10.677
Something special is happening here.

24:11.927 --> 24:15.890
The sweet psalmist award goes to Katherine Binner.

24:22.755 --> 24:27.050
The kids MVP award goes to Master Masi.

24:32.755 --> 24:37.609
The rookie of the year goes to none other than K-Chun.

24:41.329 --> 24:44.856
Rookie of the year.

24:59.579 --> 25:18.222
The dynamic duo goes to this is an amazing.

25:32.382 --> 25:33.224
The first service.

25:33.844 --> 25:34.345
Everyone is laughing.

25:35.249 --> 25:35.951
It's you, my friends.

25:40.268 --> 25:40.549
It's you.

25:42.345 --> 25:44.540
So again, we celebrate our volunteers.

25:44.600 --> 25:48.215
We give awards, we give thanks and appreciation for all that they do.

25:48.666 --> 25:50.352
We give thanks for them.

25:51.786 --> 25:54.592
Aka, you should join the volunteer team so we can give thanks for you.

25:57.545 --> 26:08.345
One of the last things that I do want to celebrate that the Lord has given us the privilege to do is we get to have church, and when I say that we get to have church, we get to have church in a way where church is actually church.

26:08.786 --> 26:12.295
Did you know that the four walls of this building is not what makes up the church?

26:13.385 --> 26:24.939
What makes up the church is every believer within this room, and so often we have in our personal lives and in our worlds people that if we invite them to church, they're not necessarily going to attend.

26:25.686 --> 26:40.825
So what we like to do is we like to put the church in an accessible place where people have access to it, because, although someone might not say yes to an invitation to church, they're probably not going to say no to a barbecue and a picnic.

26:42.135 --> 26:56.603
So what we like to do annually is we go to the streets, really, and we have this huge blowout of a party with one aim that we might bring the church and make it accessible to people who might not necessarily come to a service.

26:57.295 --> 26:58.420
You might say, well, what does that look like?

26:58.535 --> 27:00.001
It looks like we have a prayer table.

27:00.455 --> 27:06.501
It looks like we have different elements for the community, just letting people know what city-like church is about.

27:06.915 --> 27:14.364
And we have, yes, free food that we spend a great deal on because we want people to know that they are loved, they are welcomed.

27:15.378 --> 27:18.840
Matter of fact, just show the video, let the people see what we're working with.

27:21.659 --> 27:30.671
It's just so amazing to be around people who also believe in the same things you believe, who know that Jesus died and rose, and we get to sharing that belief with one another.

27:30.895 --> 27:34.204
It doesn't feel strange to talk about the love of somebody who's giving their all.

27:35.715 --> 27:39.968
Felicidades a la Iglesia porque es un evento muy bonito.

27:40.475 --> 27:43.663
Ojalá todas las Iglesias copiaran de esta manera Games and prizes.

27:43.723 --> 27:45.167
This is exciting for them.

27:46.539 --> 27:48.407
Go, go, go, go, go, go go.

27:49.812 --> 27:50.435
I am enjoying today.

27:50.776 --> 27:51.881
It's a beautiful day.

27:52.535 --> 27:56.363
I didn't expect there was going to be so much, so many things for the children to do.

27:59.836 --> 28:15.632
This is my first time here and I was very surprised at how much unity there is and how everyone comes in partake you need to eat all of the red, all of the red, okay.

28:17.045 --> 28:18.094
All of this.

28:18.235 --> 28:27.918
It's really been a miracle, god's grace, and just finding this beautiful community that loves God, that is so passionate about reaching out to other people this is exactly what.

28:27.939 --> 28:30.629
I've been looking for when I say church community.

28:31.155 --> 28:37.111
I've been looking for a church community, I've been looking for a church family and I'm so glad to have come to City Life.

28:37.151 --> 28:37.914
Me encanta.

28:38.416 --> 28:40.881
Es la primera vez en este barbecue y hicieron un buen trabajo.

28:40.901 --> 28:46.793
Me encanta el servicio, la gente muy amable, una maravilla, gracias, city Life.

28:47.215 --> 28:50.557
So, but your first time I'm talking about, come here Sundays.

28:50.577 --> 28:52.503
The whole life group is all great.

28:58.342 --> 28:59.724
Let's give a round of applause to the Lord.

29:04.175 --> 29:09.857
So again we celebrate that God has privileged us and allowed us to take the gospel to the streets.

29:11.495 --> 29:13.459
Stand with me and join me as we worship through song.

29:17.295 --> 29:19.220
As we look back and celebrate 2023,.

29:19.240 --> 29:21.977
Do you know that was one of our most favorite songs of City Life.

29:22.258 --> 29:23.261
That's a good time, isn't it?

29:24.375 --> 29:26.441
Singing and celebrating the faithfulness of our God.

29:27.975 --> 29:30.342
What a great way to look back at 2023.

29:31.295 --> 29:35.426
And one of the things we got to start the year doing is with an anniversary celebration.

29:35.515 --> 29:39.043
You guys remember that in January, we kicked off the year with a 21-year anniversary.

29:39.655 --> 29:43.805
We rented out the Melrose Ballroom and we packed it out and had a party.

29:44.105 --> 29:44.687
You remember that?

29:45.416 --> 29:46.400
Who got to join us for that?

29:47.015 --> 29:50.906
That was an incredible celebration of 21 years of God's faithfulness.

29:51.095 --> 29:53.360
Let's look at some of the highlights from that incredible experience.

30:02.001 --> 30:08.030
Man, I am so excited to be celebrating 21 years of City Light Church and this is the ultimate party.

30:10.058 --> 30:15.106
People said yes, passion point said yes, the church said yes, and God keeps showing up.

30:18.295 --> 30:23.185
I am so excited to be celebrating 21 years of City Light Church.

30:34.701 --> 30:50.392
I am so excited to be celebrating 21 years of City Light Church.

30:58.225 --> 31:04.135
I am so glad that Pastor Boyant said yes 21 years ago and we are reaping the benefits, as is our community.

31:04.657 --> 31:06.022
I hope you are getting as much out of it.

31:06.235 --> 31:08.303
God is good and he is not done yet.

31:08.735 --> 31:10.079
The best is still yet to come.

31:11.985 --> 31:12.386
Hallelujah.

31:12.406 --> 31:13.930
Stand to your feet right now, lift up your hands.

31:14.031 --> 31:21.646
Hallelujah, father, in Jesus' name.

31:21.706 --> 31:31.394
You have been so good to us, and in the name of Jesus we pray A relief of the power of God upon everybody right now.

31:32.476 --> 31:36.060
Thank you for divine assistance from the throne of Jesus.

31:51.238 --> 31:53.325
Do you like that song that was playing behind that video?

31:53.716 --> 31:55.462
Do you know that's an original City Light song.

31:56.475 --> 31:57.198
That's good stuff.

31:59.515 --> 32:02.405
God has given us so many talented individuals.

32:02.475 --> 32:04.343
Hasn't our worship team done an incredible job?

32:04.859 --> 32:06.415
Let's give them some thanks.

32:06.957 --> 32:07.940
You guys have done a great job.

32:07.980 --> 32:08.984
Thank you for leading us.

32:10.238 --> 32:16.722
We got a lot of talent that God has blessed us with and we get to celebrate and you take it for granted to visit another church and you realize they don't have the talent.

32:18.596 --> 32:22.278
But it's a good time coming together and celebrating our God and Sneak Peek.

32:22.378 --> 32:26.202
Next year we're going to be able to celebrate a little bit more of those original songs.

32:26.435 --> 32:31.519
They've got a City Light LP coming out with a good handful of five original songs that are going to bless you.

32:32.897 --> 32:33.419
It's going to be good.

32:34.617 --> 32:36.415
They've been sneaking them in and you guys don't even know.

32:36.636 --> 32:38.122
You're like, wow, that's a great new Hillsong.

32:38.475 --> 32:39.399
They're really burning it up.

32:40.515 --> 32:44.040
The City Light is good stuff, isn't it been good?

32:44.281 --> 32:44.843
Now let me tell you.

32:45.435 --> 32:50.415
Let me look at a passage here that I was thinking of in Psalm 118, verse 24 and 25.

32:51.183 --> 32:52.395
This is the day that the Lord has made.

32:53.239 --> 32:55.149
We will rejoice and be glad in it.

32:55.611 --> 33:01.061
Please, lord, please save us, please, lord, please give us success, success.

33:01.122 --> 33:02.415
God's given us so many successes.

33:03.122 --> 33:06.415
We rejoice and celebrate those successes, and that's the point of what we're doing today.

33:06.940 --> 33:08.415
Look at this in Proverbs 16.3.

33:08.877 --> 33:15.303
Commit your actions to the Lord and your plans will succeed, and that's what we've done here at City Light.

33:15.415 --> 33:20.985
We commit all that we do to the Lord, and he is bringing us success.

33:21.617 --> 33:27.664
Let's put our hands together and let's thank Him one more time, because all the credit belongs to Jesus for all he has done.

33:30.197 --> 33:37.084
Earlier in the year, we created a brand new City Light logo and a new website so that it was easier for people to figure out what's going on around here.

33:37.325 --> 33:39.671
The website's kind of a taste and see, that's the front door.

33:39.951 --> 33:44.182
You guys know that, right, you're going to check something out A new place, a new store, a restaurant, a church.

33:44.443 --> 33:44.824
What do you do?

33:44.884 --> 33:54.549
First you go to their website, and so we wanted to have a fresh look that was easy to navigate, that represented who we are, that helps people get in through that front door, and so that was a labor of love.

33:54.811 --> 33:55.415
Right, that was tough.

33:55.635 --> 33:58.942
Pastor Bo was looking at all these new logos that the designers were giving.

33:58.982 --> 34:00.184
He's like nope, not that one.

34:00.245 --> 34:02.048
Nope, not that one, that's not right, that's not right.

34:02.496 --> 34:10.395
And we finally had one that felt like City Light and we can use that to continue to show people who we are and what we're about, and that was incredible.

34:10.758 --> 34:12.415
Then we had an incredible revival weekend.

34:12.676 --> 34:18.083
You remember Nathaniel St Eloi came and ministered over the course of three days, four services, blessed and encouraged.

34:18.244 --> 34:19.028
Were you blessed by that?

34:19.892 --> 34:20.415
That was good stuff.

34:20.636 --> 34:25.550
He spoke prophetic words over so many people, laid hands on just about everyone, prayed for everyone.

34:25.570 --> 34:27.415
That was a powerful weekend we got to celebrate.

34:28.607 --> 34:48.282
If you remember, a couple of months ago we actually shared that one of our partnerships with the Grace Center in Ethiopia, through our mission initiatives, was able to acquire more property in a neighboring community where they're going to be able to expand and create a whole other school, orphanage center, resource center to be more impactful in a neighboring community and expand their influence.

34:48.515 --> 34:51.124
Let's give God some praise for that, because that's a big accomplishment.

34:55.663 --> 35:01.710
So why did Pastor Bo start City Light all those years ago, almost 22 years ago, there were other churches in NYC.

35:01.730 --> 35:06.063
When you started right, it wasn't like, oh, my goodness, it's a waste line, there's no churches here.

35:06.284 --> 35:07.186
There's a lot of churches here.

35:07.526 --> 35:08.128
Why one more?

35:09.056 --> 35:14.897
Because he, just like then and us, now, want to see a church alive with the power of the Holy Spirit.

35:15.539 --> 35:17.224
Right, that's what he wanted to see.

35:17.435 --> 35:18.421
That's what we want to see today.

35:18.915 --> 35:19.577
So many churches.

35:19.597 --> 35:22.344
They pale in comparison to what we read about in scripture.

35:22.445 --> 35:26.841
Right, we read powerful stories of healing Jesus, touching people.

35:27.335 --> 35:29.623
We see the Holy Spirit alive and active.

35:29.975 --> 35:34.727
He was befriending the sinners and the prostitutes and he was frustrating the Pharisees.

35:35.015 --> 35:35.497
I like that.

35:36.715 --> 35:38.864
But then you see these kind of anemic, sad.

35:39.306 --> 35:41.836
It looks like maybe you're at a funeral or a wake.

35:44.175 --> 35:46.724
They're just very reverent, they're dead.

35:47.455 --> 35:54.865
We want a church that's alive, where everyone is welcomed, everyone can come in and experience the transformative power of Jesus and be changed.

35:55.855 --> 36:03.564
That's what we want at City Light Church, where you can see power, you can see healing, you can find love and you can find grace and his mercy.

36:03.975 --> 36:12.466
We want a church that everyone is welcomed to Everyone is needed, as Pastor Mo mentioned and a church where everyone is changed.

36:13.655 --> 36:15.099
You want to be changed or you want to stay the same?

36:17.255 --> 36:18.339
The right answer is to be changed.

36:19.295 --> 36:21.022
A lot of you are murmuring it and I appreciate it.

36:21.455 --> 36:24.424
I want to be changed because I'm a hot mess and I need to be better.

36:25.337 --> 36:29.645
And that's good, and this is a place where we can experience Christ and be changed.

36:30.015 --> 36:33.144
Let's look at what we find in Acts, chapter two, beginning in verse 42.

36:33.775 --> 36:40.744
All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship and to sharing in meals, including the Lord's Supper, and to prayer.

36:41.255 --> 36:45.896
A deep sense of awe came over them all and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.

36:46.197 --> 36:49.846
And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had.

36:50.255 --> 36:53.625
They sold their property and their possessions and they shared the money with those in need.

36:54.055 --> 37:05.007
They worshiped together at the temple each day, they met in homes for the Lord's Supper and they shared their meals with great joy and generosity, all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people.

37:05.495 --> 37:08.845
And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

37:09.335 --> 37:10.058
That sounds incredible.

37:11.435 --> 37:23.208
That's the kind of church I want to be a part of, not some of these churches that are just kind of playing church, going through the motions and really worshiping ritual, but a church where we can come together and be fully devoted.

37:23.435 --> 37:29.198
I don't want a church that kind of seems consumeristic and just kind of going through the motions politically correct.

37:31.095 --> 37:32.460
I don't want to be a part of a church like that.

37:33.775 --> 37:38.538
What I just read sounds like a church full of people that were sold out and fully devoted to Christ.

37:39.435 --> 37:44.743
They were devoted to themselves, they were devoted to each other and everyone was filled with awe.

37:46.455 --> 37:49.984
You filled with awe when you come into this place, when you hang around other city lighters.

37:51.075 --> 37:51.717
That's our hope for you.

37:53.495 --> 37:56.518
They weren't just going to church, they were the church.

37:57.975 --> 37:59.059
That's what we want to be a part of.

38:00.175 --> 38:11.758
They weren't just spiritual consumers, they were spiritual contributors and, just like us here at City Light, we give, we worship, we study, we pray, we evangelize, we meet needs.

38:12.655 --> 38:20.024
We want to be a radically generous church, full of generosity, just like the passage and acts where everyone gave together and no one had need.

38:20.895 --> 38:22.621
They had everything in common and they gave.

38:23.695 --> 38:39.106
You've heard all the recaps shared, all of the wins and successes and the radical generosity here at City Light, the amazing things that we've been able to be a part of here in New York City and around the world, sharing the truth, the love, the life change of Jesus.

38:40.155 --> 38:41.541
Just like the church in the first century.

38:41.675 --> 38:50.241
I want us to be part of a radical movement of God, devoted to each other and Jesus as we continue to grow bigger on Sundays.

38:51.223 --> 38:52.326
Look to your left and your right.

38:52.895 --> 38:54.241
Here's a couple of empty seats.

38:54.675 --> 38:55.037
Let's fill them.

38:55.895 --> 38:59.025
You want to commit in 2024 to have no empty seats in our services.

39:00.117 --> 39:00.780
That'd be awesome.

39:01.975 --> 39:03.320
The solution is right here.

39:05.158 --> 39:11.937
It's you Invite people, invite them to come, let's fill this place.

39:12.719 --> 39:15.346
But we'll continue to grow smaller in our life groups.

39:15.815 --> 39:17.502
That's how a big church stays small.

39:17.655 --> 39:19.321
You have community in life groups.

39:19.735 --> 39:20.658
There's Pastor Moe explain.

39:20.678 --> 39:27.325
That's where you have relationship, accountability, food I wish we had pizza and service on Sunday, but we don't.

39:27.896 --> 39:28.920
You've got to go to Life Group.

39:29.615 --> 39:31.001
The semester starts again in February.

39:31.175 --> 39:31.818
Make sure you're in one.

39:32.975 --> 39:43.607
We'll continue to launch new churches all around the world as we partner with other ministries through our initiatives and relationships, as we continue to see God's good news spread.

39:44.317 --> 39:45.501
We're going to leverage technology.

39:46.295 --> 39:47.400
We stream the services.

39:47.655 --> 39:49.723
We thank the production and tech teams right now.

39:50.315 --> 39:51.097
They do a great job.

39:55.095 --> 39:56.601
It takes money, time and effort.

39:57.275 --> 40:03.258
I know a lot of people think that they're YouTube stars and it's not as easy as it sounds or looks.

40:04.296 --> 40:11.504
It takes a lot of work and a lot of preparation and a lot of energy, but it's worth it to us for more people to hear the good news of Jesus.

40:11.544 --> 40:12.326
We stream the service.

40:12.575 --> 40:18.182
Did you know that hundreds more than sit in the seats on Sunday actually experience our services via the online stream?

40:18.855 --> 40:19.322
That's incredible.

40:20.275 --> 40:21.320
And we leverage Zoom.

40:21.695 --> 40:30.484
We have prayer meetings via Zoom every single week and tomorrow we start 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting via Zoom, and that is an incredible leveraging of technology.

40:30.655 --> 40:34.986
This year we have a special link just for kids so they can be involved in this process as well.

40:35.735 --> 40:41.201
We're going to continue to look for opportunities to redeem and leverage technology to reach more people for Jesus.

40:41.735 --> 40:43.462
That's what I want to be a part of.

40:43.535 --> 40:53.306
As long as there's breath in our bodies, we're committed to be radically devoted to Jesus and to each other so that his will be done and his kingdom advanced.

40:54.055 --> 40:56.242
That's the kind of church we want to be part of in 2024.

40:56.935 --> 40:57.617
You excited to do it.

40:58.439 --> 40:59.603
Let's do it together Faster.

41:03.299 --> 41:08.688
Awesome highlights and memorial stones that were laid down today.

41:10.135 --> 41:22.299
You know, in my desire to see city lights really become what God has called it to be, I can actually put my eyes so much into where we need to be that I forget the victories.

41:23.701 --> 41:26.430
And maybe you're that way with your own life I know I am.

41:27.660 --> 41:35.666
You know that there's still a way to go and you can get caught up by where you are and how much further you have to go, but then you forget where you've come from.

41:36.840 --> 41:58.028
And so we've just spent this service celebrating what amazing things God has done for us in the last year, and really, as we compile this list, I realized I had forgotten half of these things because I'm too busy thinking about where we still need to be, and I encourage you to not get overwhelmed by where you need to go, but celebrate what God has done for you in 2023.

41:58.460 --> 42:10.627
I really hope that as you enter in tonight, that you'll make that list and you'll be reminded, and you will remind the Lord how good he's been, and it'll build up your faith for 2024.

42:11.560 --> 42:15.371
We're gonna say a confession of faith together in just a minute.

42:15.600 --> 42:20.189
I just wanna give you two announcements just to reiterate next Sunday we won't be meeting here.

42:20.209 --> 42:20.991
How many of you knew that?

42:21.400 --> 42:25.905
We'll be right five minutes away, just down the street, at the St Andrew's location.

42:26.020 --> 42:33.187
All of that information is on our website and the emails that have been sent out on our social media, and so we trust to see you there next Sunday.

42:33.600 --> 42:40.328
And then number two is 21 days of prayer and fasting Begin tomorrow, and so how long you're going to fast?

42:40.480 --> 42:41.445
That's between you and the Lord.

42:41.600 --> 42:43.965
I encourage you to get a number from the Lord.

42:44.427 --> 42:48.205
It could be the first week, it could be the second week, it could be one day, it can be the full 21 days.

42:48.340 --> 42:56.703
You do business with God and find out what he's putting on your heart, but everyone can join us at 7 pm every night on Zoom as we pray together.

42:57.280 --> 42:58.585
How many of you will be joining us tomorrow?

42:59.460 --> 43:01.227
Don't miss out on praying together.

43:01.420 --> 43:03.067
It's really one of my favorite times of year.

43:03.320 --> 43:05.307
It is just powerful.

43:05.760 --> 43:10.647
There is something about praying together in a community, and so can't wait to see you on Zoom.

43:10.760 --> 43:12.265
Starting tomorrow for 21 days.

43:12.727 --> 43:13.389
Let's all stand.

43:15.160 --> 43:22.648
The Bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof.

43:23.540 --> 43:30.371
God has put a power and an authority in your mouth and we're going to decree and declare this over 2024.

43:30.500 --> 43:30.862
Are you ready?

43:31.820 --> 43:43.326
Say this out loud with me, father, in the name of Jesus, as I enter 2024, I know you're already there.

43:44.920 --> 43:46.104
You've gone before me.

43:47.520 --> 43:56.166
I believe your hand is upon me, the Holy Spirit is within me, your grace surrounds me.

43:57.740 --> 44:01.089
2024 is a year of victory.

44:02.600 --> 44:04.146
It's my best year yet.

44:05.720 --> 44:07.165
My cup runs over.

44:09.020 --> 44:15.863
I experience your protection, your prosperity, your favor.

44:17.240 --> 44:18.104
Thank you, lord.

44:19.220 --> 44:24.987
I go into the new year with faith, optimism, excitement.

44:25.800 --> 44:32.585
You're gonna outdo yourself, lord, and I thank you for it In Jesus' name.

44:34.100 --> 44:42.706
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah and happy new year.

44:46.222 --> 44:47.954
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

44:49.524 --> 44:50.763
Hallelujah, the ministry team.

44:50.783 --> 44:51.686
Won't you come on up?

44:52.600 --> 44:54.828
We're gonna worship the Lord with one more song.

44:54.960 --> 45:05.286
I encourage you to give him your all as you sing to him and if you want prayer for anything, anything at all, our ministry team would love to lay hands on you and pray with you and for you.

45:05.360 --> 45:11.762
You can come on up to the front whoever wants prayer, but we're gonna put our eyes on Jesus and sing.

45:11.983 --> 45:16.782
Sing him one more song right to his heart from yours Amen.

45:17.980 --> 45:22.425
We'll see you in 2024, tomorrow night, as we kick off prayer.

45:23.060 --> 45:23.442
Bless you.
