Everyone at the dinner was watching Jesus, but Jesus was watching where they sat. In Luke 14, Jesus heals a man nobody wanted at the table, calls out the quiet scramble for status, and tells a story about a banquet where every invited guest finds a reason not to come. Josh Fortney unpacks what it looks like when mercy matters more than rules, and why God's kingdom is full of people who never expected an invitation. It's funny, honest, and a little convicting.

It's easy to love the idea of reaching the nations until God puts a face, a name, and a dinner invitation in front of you. In Acts 10-11, God sends Peter to the home of a Roman centurion, the last person Peter would ever invite to dinner. Brad Kirby walks through how God prepares people, expands our circles, and makes room at His table for everyone who believes. With the nations already living across the street in Dallas-Fort Worth, this one will change how you see your neighbors.

You can walk seven miles with Jesus and never realize it's Him. On the day Jesus rose from the dead, two of His followers walked away from Jerusalem convinced their hope had died with Him. In Luke 24, Brad Kirby walks the road to Emmaus to show how Jesus meets us in our disappointment, opens the Scriptures, and reveals that He has been with us all along. If you're carrying a "we had hoped" of your own, this one is for you.

Five loaves. Two fish. Five thousand hungry people. In Mark 6, Jesus looks at twelve exhausted disciples and tells them to feed the crowd with almost nothing in their hands. Brad Kirby walks through what Jesus teaches before the miracle ever happens: why He lets the need outgrow our resources, and why the real lesson isn't about how much we bring. If you're facing something too big to carry, this one is for you.

On the night before the cross, Jesus shares the Passover with His apostles and then breaks the script, taking bread and a cup and announcing a new covenant in His own body and blood. In Luke 22, Josh Fortney walks through what the Lord's Supper remembers, what it proclaims, and what it reveals, including the hard truth that being close to Jesus is not the same as belonging to Him. If communion has started to feel routine, this one will help you see the table with fresh eyes.  New messages every week at citybridgechurch.org  Join us Sundays at 9 or 11 AM | Plano, TX

You can be in the same room as Jesus and still miss Him. In Luke 10, Martha opens her home to Jesus and then spends the whole evening in the kitchen while her sister Mary sits at His feet. Brad Kirby unpacks what happens when good things crowd out the best thing, and how busyness can quietly turn into anxiety, resentment, and control. If life feels like a hundred tabs open at once, this one is for you.

The worst seat in the house is not the sinner's seat. In Luke 7, a woman the whole town had written off crashes a dinner party and kneels at the feet of Jesus while the respectable host decides he has seen enough. Josh Fortney walks through what happens when Jesus knows the very worst about two very different people and makes room for both. It is a story about grace, about the debts we cannot see in ourselves, and about the kind of table Jesus gathers people around.

The most scandalous thing Jesus did was not what He said. It was who He ate with. In Luke 15, the religious crowd cannot get past one complaint: this man receives sinners and eats with them. Jesus answers with two short stories about a shepherd, a woman, and the relentless search for one thing that went missing. Brad Kirby opens the Table Church series by unpacking five things those stories reveal about the heart of God, and why the table Jesus sets always ends up changing the people who sit at it.

Water that stops moving becomes dangerous. In the fourth week of Made Here, Brad Kirby uses a wilderness survival lesson to ask what happens when everything flows into a life and nothing flows out. From 2 Corinthians 5, he shows that the grace that made you new also handed you a job. You're an ambassador, representing your King at work, on your street, and everywhere God has already placed you.

Everyone is already a theologian. The only question is where yours came from. Week three of Made Here starts with one claim from Brad Kirby: being equipped in God's Word isn't an optional extra, it's essential for every disciple. Then the morning turns over to the people who prove it. One turned in a blank quiz on day one. One read the Bible for the first time at 24. One read a chapter a day from Matthew to Revelation and watched his marriage change.

You can be surrounded by people every single week and still be completely unknown. In part two of the Made Here series, Brad Kirby opens up Acts 2 to show what the very first church did when they stopped just sharing a room and started sharing their lives. It is a warm, honest look at why God never designed faith to be a solo pursuit, and why belonging to a church changes everything about how you grow. If you have ever wanted community that is real, this one is for you.

Has grace stopped amazing you? In the opening message of the Made Here series, Brad Kirby walks through Ephesians 2 to ask what it actually means to believe in Christ. This is the story of people who were spiritually dead being made alive by a God who is rich in mercy, and why the whole Christian life starts with what He has done for us, not what we do for Him. If following Jesus has started to feel routine, this is a reset worth pressing play on.

You already worship something. The only question is what. In the final message of our Joshua: Legacy series, David Leventhal walks through Joshua's last words to Israel, a challenge to choose whom they will serve. The people say "yes" three times, and Joshua tells them the honest truth: on your own, you can't do it. This is a message about why sincerity runs out, and where lasting faithfulness actually comes from.

You can tell the story of your life, get every fact right, and still write God out of it. In Joshua 24, God gathers a whole nation and retells their history with Himself at the center of every sentence. Brad Kirby walks through how God traces His grace all the way back to an idol-worshiping family, and why remembering that grace changes how you tell your story and how you live. It's an invitation to stop being the hero of your own story and see the One who was carrying it the whole time.

What would you say if these were your last words to the people you love most? Joshua is 110 years old, his journey nearly finished, and he gathers Israel's leaders for one final message. Brad Kirby unpacks why comfort can be more dangerous than conflict, why we forget the God who carried us the moment life gets easy, and what it actually takes to finish faithfully, not just start well.
