Don't be a Professional Christian
Through vivid biblical illustrations—from Moses striking the rock to the prodigal son—Pastor Mo reframes the gospel as grace-first intimacy. God’s love isn’t increased by your output, and obedience flows from identity, not insecurity. He warns against “professional intimacy” with God—doing all the right things while keeping the heart distant—and calls the church back to childlike trust, quick obedience, and living for an audience of One.

Peaceful Pursuit
On this episode of the CityLight Podcast, Pastor Bo delivers a timely and countercultural word for 2026: faith doesn’t hustle—it rests. Drawing from a moment of worship in Belize sparked by Jason Upton’s “Jacob’s Dream,” Pastor Bo unpacks the story of Jacob as the blueprint for modern striving—until God breaks his self-sufficiency and teaches him to lean. Anchored in Psalm 127, this message reframes rest as active trust, where fruitfulness flows not from frantic effort but from peace-filled obedience. This episode calls us to make 2026 the year of choosing the “one thing”: sitting at Jesus’ feet and letting God put His super on our natural.

Build to Last: Storm-Proofing Your 2026
On this episode of the CityLight Podcast, we kick off 2026 with a powerful call to build a life that lasts. Preaching from Matthew 7, guest speaker Nathaniel Saint-Eloi reminds us that storms come to everyone—but only the life built on Jesus, the Rock, will stand. The message lays out three prophetic keys for the year ahead: don’t build on resolutions, build on revelation; don’t build on vibes, build on vision; and don’t build on fake news, build on the Good News. With scriptures from Matthew 16, Proverbs 29, Hebrews 11, and more, this sermon stirs faith, sharpens identity, and casts a vision for a life rooted in Christ. The episode ends with a beautiful moment of surrender, as many respond in prayer and salvation.

I Saw the Lord
On this year-end episode of the CityLight Podcast, Pastor Mohamed brings a timely word of vision and gratitude, anchored in Isaiah 6. In a year marked by uncertainty, Isaiah saw something that changed everything: the Lord, high and lifted up. When we see God clearly, we can walk into any season—good, bad, or uncertain—with confidence. Pastor Mohamed challenges us to trade performance-based Christianity for faith-filled obedience, reminding us that our steps reveal what we really believe. From testimonies of healing and abundance to powerful moments of salvation, baptisms, and community outreach, this episode celebrates all God has done through CityLight in 2025.

Embracing Immanuel — God With Us, Part 2
On this festive episode of the CityLight Podcast, Pastor Bo calls us to pursue the presence of God above all else. Pastor Bo emphasizes that God is found by those who seek Him, and that worship, waiting, and receiving are key to cultivating a life saturated with His Spirit. From soaking in God’s presence to receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, we’re invited to lean into deeper intimacy and spiritual empowerment. Rooted in Psalm 16, this episode will encourage you to step into 2026 with boldness, confidence, and faith for God’s sudden breakthroughs. In His presence is fullness of joy—and that’s what we’re after.

Embracing Immanuel — God With Us
This sermon challenges us to stop living off someone else’s encounter with God and pursue our own. Drawing from Psalm 63 and the meaning of Immanuel—God with us, we’re called into deeper intimacy, and a hunger for God’s presence that transforms and frees us from bondage. Sometimes that pursuit means stepping outside the norm, guarding your private devotion, and provoking yourself into the miraculous. The invitation is clear: experience daily the power, presence, and covenant-lovingkindness of God—for yourself.

The Prize
In this message, Pastor Bo reminds us that Christmas is about far more than presents—it’s about pursuing God’s presence. Sharing his salvation story from 1992 in a small, unimpressive church in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, he shows that it isn’t polish, production, or appearances that change lives, but the undeniable presence of God. In a space marked by crackling sound systems and unremarkable surroundings, the anointing was real—and it transformed hearts, including his own father’s at an Easter altar call.
Drawing from Genesis 3:8, Pastor Bo teaches that God’s original desire was to walk with humanity, and that the greatest tragedy of the Fall was the loss of His presence. The greatest gift of salvation, then, is its restoration. The anointing does what no person can do, accelerating lives into God’s purpose. The invitation is simple and powerful: be baptized in the Holy Spirit, intentionally cultivate His presence, and live so close to God that you’re always one drop away from being overwhelmed by Him.

Don’t be Lunch
In this week’s episode, Pastor Mo challenges believers to recognize the spiritual fight they’re already in. The enemy is prowling—trying to make us lunch. From digital distractions to spiritual compromise, we’ll uncover how the enemy works subtly to pull us off course—and how submission to God’s will is the key to standing firm. With humor, real-life stories, and biblical truth, this episode will equip you to push back, stay focused, and walk in the authority God has given you.

Freedom of a Surrendered Life
He then challenges us with a sobering choice: fall on the Rock (Jesus) and be broken, or wait for the rock of life’s pressures to fall on you and crush you. Sometimes God allows a breaking that brings us closer to Him—much like the shepherd who breaks a stubborn sheep’s legs only to carry it, feed it, and restore it until it learns to stay nearby.
