City Beautiful Church is a community striving to become the kingdom of Heaven on earth. We are the people you see everyday who desire to be a part of culture, carrying a message of faith, hope and love. Mission
“Cultivating intimacy with God, inhabiting our identities in Christ, discovering our purpose as the Spirit-led Church.”

We hold tightly to the teachings of Jesus as recorded by the apostle

s who penned the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. In addition, the scriptures arranged in the Bible are the truth which we base our lives around.

"Oh, you're real, you're real! Oh, Aslan!" cried Lucy, and both girls flung themselves upon him and covered him with kisses.
"But what does it all mean?" asked Susan when they were somewhat calmer.
"It means," said Aslan, “that though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards. And now-"
"Oh yes. Now?" said Lucy, jumping up and clapping her hands…

The cross stands at the focal point of history. God-in-Christ takes all evil into himself, and conquers it through self-giving love. Beware any atonement theory that makes the Father into a monster we needed saving from. Christ Victorious shows us that evil does not get the last word - the love of God can withstand and prevail against anything the Unholy Trinity can concoct. Because Christ has stripped the Unholy Trinity bare and made a mockery of them, we are also victorious - MORE than conquerors!

On Friday, September 18th at 7:00pm, Ryan will host a viewing of the documentary Hellbound? followed by a group discussion. This film examines the three dominant views of hell described through scripture and church history, featuring interviews with pastors and theologians from various traditions at work today. Our goal is not to decide upon one specific doctrine of hell, but to ask the hard questions: what is God like? What does God want in the end?

There is an Unholy Trinity - The Flesh, The Enemy, The World - that corrupts God’s good world by sowing sin and death. When Paul uses the language of “powers and authorities” he speaking of all three conspiring against God and God’s ways. This Unholy Trinity amassed all its power against God on the cross and failed. There are many ways to contemplate the crucifixion. While they all have merit the most important thing to consider is what the theory you believe says about what you think about God.

“See, I will create
� new heavens and a new earth.�
The former things will not be remembered,
� nor will they come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever�
in what I will create,�
for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight�
and its people a joy.
I will rejoice over Jerusalem�
and take delight in my people;�
the sound of weeping and of crying�
will be heard in it no more.”
Is. 65:17-19

Take heart, God has entered into the suffering of the world to reveal that Babylon has had its day, and New Jerusalem has come. “Babylon” is a consistent symbol, not just of human power and hubris, but as the place in which one cannot get any farther from God’s space. Yet we see in Jesus a God who was willing to cross over into the farthest recesses of the Babylonian realm to rescue and redeem us. John the Revelator reminds us that evil inevitably destroys itself, and God rescues the good from the clutches of evil.

Henri Nouwen describes prayer as moving away from a place of hate and into the house of God. Daily, we do that individually in our own prayer practices. But when we share space with other Christians to pray we are reminded that we are not alone - we are accompanied by all of history’s saints alongside all of heaven. By practicing communal prayer, we can move into God’s home together, hand in hand, alongside the rest of creation.

Once a month we are creating a space for communal prayer in the Founders Room at 9:20am, beginning September 13th. Together we will pray through different liturgies and prayer practices found through the Church such as The Anglican Daily Office, Celtic liturgy, Lectio Divina, intercessory prayer, and more.

The “New Jerusalem promise” is not an optimistic wish but a divine word that shakes away all lies. It stirs us awake to the truth concerning history: God will have His way. We are not to be zapped off someplace else, nor are we responsible for building Utopia by our own efforts. Rather, We patiently await (and participate where we can) in the resurrection of the world here, now, as we build our trust in God’s presence.

Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great:
He appeared in the flesh,�
was vindicated by the Spirit,�
was seen by angels,�
was preached among the nations,�
was believed on in the world,�
was taken up in glory.
(1 Tim. 3:16)

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
(2 Cor. 4:16-18)

Part of rescuing eschatology is a re-awakening to the awe and wonder of the unseen existences around us. Christian faith is unsustainable without it. If we continue to paddle in the shallow end of materialism, our faith will wane. The problem has been that The Church has tried to play the “truth” game within the confines of the Enlightenment, and we’ve done a terrible job. Our post-modern world is crying out for re-enchantment! Will we heed the call and remember the inheritance of our own worldview?
