Sunday Sermons

What is really driving your relationship with God — love, or duty? In this week's message from the "My Father Says" series, Josh explored what it truly means to be rooted and grounded in the Father's personal, pursuing, never-ending and transforming love.

In this week's message from the "My Father Says" series, Lucien unpacks what it truly means to be a co-heir with Christ.

In this message, Mariechen unpacks the reality that many believers still live with an “orphan mindset” — striving, performing, and searching for belonging that The Father already gives!There is an invitation to move from fear, pressure and performance — to living from The Father's voice.

In the first message of the “My Father says…” series, Mariechen reminds us that our identity starts with belonging.Through Jesus’ baptism and Galatians 4, she unpacks the truth that we are not just forgiven—we are adopted as God’s children and we have full access to The Father. This message invites us to stop striving for approval and start living from secure love.

Easter is more than a moment—it’s an invitation. While we were still broken, Jesus stepped in to restore us. But forgiveness is only the beginning.This message from Romans 5, explores how we move from being declared “not guilty” to actually reigning in this life!

In the final message of the Close to Jesus series, Lucien reminded us that we were created to desire God above everything else. Only His presence can truly satisfy the deep longing of our souls.

What if you stopped striving and started living from who God already says you are?This message explores how secure identity in Christ frees us from performance, anchors us in belonging, and gives us purpose!

On Sunday, Paul preached on what it means to truly keep pace with Jesus.Not running ahead in our own strength, nor lagging behind in distraction or complacency, but keeping in step with Him daily.

On Sunday, Melanie preached on remaining connected to Jesus, the true Vine, and responding to Him with obedience, prayer, intentionality, abiding and time in His Word.As we do that, we begin to grow into the people He has called us to be.(Apologies for the bad audio recording!)

On Sunday, Josh explored the heart of God’s invitation into real closeness with Him. Jesus doesn’t call perfect people — He invites tired, broken, striving, and searching hearts to walk with Him.People need the revelation that God actually likes to be with you!

On Sunday, Christof unpacked why discipleship happens best in community and why Life Groups are spaces where vision, accountability, structure, and loving relationships help us learn to live the life Jesus offers.

On Sunday, Josh reminded us why we serve, which is centred in a lifestyle of discipleship to Jesus - following the example and heart of Jesus.

On Sunday, Mariechen shared a powerful reminder that God has not forgotten you — and He has not forgotten your dreams.Drawing from Scripture, she encouraged us to live from the truth that Christ lives within us - He does not come and go based on emotions or circumstances, and we can choose to daily draw our strength from Him.

In this message, Christian teaches from Luke 17:11–19, the story of the ten lepers, to unpack the powerful theme of gratitude as an expression of faith.

On Sunday, Christof shared a Christmas message reminding us that Jesus is God’s greatest gift - the One who brings light, life, and abundance.Christmas is not about religion or routine - rather it is an invitation to receive the gift of a person, that we get to walk closely with, and stepping into the life of heaven made available to us now.

On Sunday, Mariechen unpacked how identity is the first and most important battleground of every believer.Before Jesus did any ministry, the Father declared Him loved, chosen, and delighted in — and immediately after, His identity was tested in the wilderness. In the same way, most of our trials are not about our behaviour, but about what we truly believe about who God says we are.

On Sunday, Mark continued our series, talking about the importance of vision and purpose.He warned of the cost of not responding to God’s call: losing purpose, forfeiting inheritance, missing freedom, drifting from destiny, or letting fear decide the future. Obedience is what releases God’s blessing, purpose, and transformation.

On Sunday Mariechen looked at what it means to be Tested in Provision. God doesn’t just want us to know that He provides, He wants us to know Him as our Provider.And we have one job as the sheep - to follow the shepherd.

On Sunday, Brendon shared on character built in the fire. Character is what remains when the fire burns everything else away. It’s formed through small, faithful steps of obedience - choosing God even when no one else sees.Every pit, prison, and palace moment is part of God’s engraving process, shaping us into His likeness.

On Sunday, Yvette spoke about the test of words.The test of our words is really the test of our faith and what we truly believe about God!

On Sunday, Christof shared from Daniel 3 in the start of our new sermon series ‘Tried, Tested and Transformed.’ Every test invites a choice - to bow to fear or to stand in faith. The fire doesn’t destroy; it transforms, refines and shapes us!

On Sunday, Simba shared a message of hope from the life of Joseph — that God’s promises are sure, but His timing is perfect. Don’t rush the process; let it cook. The promise giver is always the promise keeper.

On Sunday, Eathon shared a powerful message on fasting and humility — reminding us that fasting isn’t about earning God’s favour but aligning our hearts with His. When we humble ourselves before Him, He hears, forgives, and heals.

On Sunday, Christof unpacked what it means to live between two kingdoms - the world’s and God’s. Drawing from Mark 12, he challenged us to give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but to give our hearts fully to God. A call to worship, integrity, courage, and allegiance to Jesus above all else.

On Sunday Nick shared from John’s vision in Revelation 1, where John encounters the risen Jesus - eyes like fire, voice like rushing waters, face shining like the sun.John, cut off from his churches and facing uncertainty, is given a vision of Jesus as He truly is now — the living, ever-present, all-powerful Lord.

This Sunday's service was a little different as worship and prophetic moments flowed. Mariechen shared from Ezekiel and personal stories of God’s refining work. Holiness isn’t about striving, but devotion - separating ourselves unto God and finding freedom in Him.

On Sunday, Mariechen shared on Ezekiel - reminding us that God is holy, obedience is costly and there is always hope and restoration in God.Will your life be a message to others, just like Ezekiel's?

On Sunday Mark preached from Jeremiah, calling us to turn from pride, idols, false securities and to trust fully in God.Where you put your trust will determine your future.

On Sunday, Mark preached on Jeremiah.Even in judgment, God offers hope - He can turn your plan B into His perfect plan.

This Sunday, Lucien took us through chapter 3 of Habakkuk.We see how his perspective and posture shifts to that of faith and expectancy. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

On Sunday, Lucien kicked off the short book of Habakkuk.There is much we can learn about God's character and Habakkuk's prayer life through this book. Where do you take your difficult questions? Do you cling to God, even while wrestling with Him?

On Sunday, Christof continued the story of Amos.Amos' message is framed around a warning from God, love and longing, and an urgent call to respond.

On Sunday, Christof kicked off our new sermon series "The man and the message".He explored the prophet Amos and how his life completely changed when He heard the roar of the Lion of Judah.

On Sunday, Jamie preached on the difference between being an outsider who is in and an insider who is out.When Jesus arrived on the scene, He redefined family.

At the beginning of this year, Mariechen preached on 3 things we should not do in 2025 - don't worry, don't please people & don't get distracted.This past Sunday, she preached on the 3 things we should continue to do this year - trust God, please God & keep your eyes on Jesus.

On Sunday, Mark preached on our theme of missional lifestyle in preparation for Missions Week.Life truly begins when you get your eyes off of yourself and start pouring into someone else's life.

This past Sunday, Christof spoke on the role of fathers.Being a father is a high and holy calling!

On Sunday, Mariechen preached on being completely open to God's leading.We are not living for this world, or our comfort or man's applause - we're chasing after God's voice.

On Sunday, Melanie preached on the power of prayer.Out of all the acts around the table, prayer is the most intimate and powerful.

On Sunday, Trianne preached on generosity.God is a generous God, the church in Acts were a generous people and we want to create a culture of generosity - it is about more than just money!

On Sunday, Mark continued our sermon series "The Acts Table".Your home and your dining room table is arguably your strongest tool for ministry, where you can share testimonies and see signs and miracles, like the early church in Acts.

On Sunday, Marcus preached on the two types of churches. Both have a clear purpose, but only one makes Jesus the head of the church.

Lucien speaks on unity of heart and of vision - oneness with The Father and each other.And where there is unity, God commands a blessing. "It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore." (Psalm 133:3)

On Sunday, Mark opened on our new sermon series "The Acts Table".In the early church of Acts, their love attracted new believers! And Christianity becomes real and personal when we practice it around the dining room table.

On Sunday, Christof preached on Jesus, who is the resurrection and the life. A beating heart and oxygen in your blood doesn't mean you are alive. Jesus is asking, do you want to really live? It's not a hope for one day, but He offers new life right now.

Yvette preached on Jesus being the King of Heaven and of Earth. All kingdoms bow to Him.We have the choice of which kingdom to live in. We were born into the kingdom of darkness, but we were created for the kingdom of light. We were created for sonship!

On Sunday, Josh preached on the biblical picture of Jesus being the sacrificial lamb, who fulfilled Old Testament prophecy and the old sacrificial system for the atonement of sins.The question is, do you KNOW Him like this - the precious lamb who was slain for you?

Lucien takes us through the first of our sermon series: Jesus is! We delved into all the evidence that points to Jesus being God, being one with the Father, and Lord of all creation. The evidence is there, but ultimately we each must decided for ourselves what we will do with this.So what will you do?

On Sunday, Mariechen preached a beautiful message on how God wants to bring restoration. When He restores, He doesn't just restore something to it's original state, He returns what is lost and more!

Christof continued our sermon series on our vision here at Citygate. He covered our public life of multiplying the kingdom of God and the mission we have to live as a church.
