Mark Conner and The Team Are Awesome
From a podcasters perspective , it is hard to find quality , and the style and teaching which is both representitive of the christian faith and doctrine , as well as educational and enlightening , all aspects of these podcasts will be an absolute eye opener , the doctrine and message is top notch , and the style and presentation , as well as delivery are both educational , and spot on , when you are looking for something which doesnt seem so heavy , but full of the information of other styles , this is the one to stop at , dont go past it , this is definitly one to put on your download list!
Great teaching from a first-class team
Over 30+ years, I have been to many churches of various backgrounds and doctrine, and experienced many styles of teaching and preaching.
Put simply, CityLife excels.
The teaching team led by Mark Conner is top-notch, and the messages preached and taught are consistently very good: much of it is the Word made relevant to *us* today and immediately applicable *now*; delivered in a wide range of styles; some inspiring, some very challenging; many a call to personal change and personal action, encouraging us to love and walk closely with God, to serve, to reach out.
Do not expect perfection however, for you will only be disappointed - as you will with all churches you visit on this planet. However, you can expect excellence.
