Daily Devotionals & Other Podcasts

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. Eph 5:1 What does it mean to be an imitator of God? When we spend time with God, and we engage with Him, we naturally imitate Him without even trying. Engage with God today and see how you begin to imitate Him. #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

This morning, Steve reads from a message preached by a pastor named SM Lockridge titled “That's my King”. Do you know Jesus today?  #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

If faced with the order to renounce Christ or lose your life, what would you do? Does your banner clearly state that you are a Christ-follower? #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

Having Jesus in our lives should change our perspective. We have not been called to simply survive during this time, but rather to lay hold of the plans and promises that God has for us TODAY!    #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

  Daily devotion with Steve   Prayer is a faith building tool and it is an extraordinary gift that we can give to others without being with them. Have you got a prayer list? Who can you pray for today?

  Daily devotion with Phil   Galatians 5:25 says, “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Picture your life as a car. Most of us are seated behind the steering wheel, with the Holy Spirit next to us in the passenger seat. We ask Him for direction and guidance, but sometimes we forget to ask or ignore His direction. Why not invite the Holy Spirit to take over the driving? After all, He knows all! #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

  Daily devotion with Dusty   We know that we have the Holy Spirit in us, when we see the fruit of Him in our lives. When we give our lives to Jesus, life does not automatically get easier; if anything, it becomes more difficult as our need for self-control to abstain from the way we used to live our lives becomes greater. Self-control is not just a discipline, though. We need to understand the areas we need to have self-control in, and why so that the reward will outweigh the cost. #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

  Daily Devotions With Steve Wimble   So often we associate gentleness with weakness. The Greek word for gentleness is also linked to the word for humility and the Bible is constantly telling us to be gentle. Gentleness is an inner spirit of control exhibited in calm assurance. Phil 4:5 You don't need to defend yourself and be aggressive. Rather let your gentleness be evident to all because the All-Powerful God is fighting on your behalf. #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

  Daily Devotions With Chim  When we give our lives to God, we receive the Holy Spirit who brings the Fruit of the Spirit into our lives. These are not qualities that we can achieve on our own. The Spirit is faithful, and so He enables us to be faithful - to be reliable and true in all our commitments to God and to the people around us. Ask God to help you to rely on the Spirit to manifest His faithfulness in your life even at this time. #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

Daily devotion with Peter In times like these, when the world is so different in so many ways, we need to choose goodness and the responses we want to speak to the people around us. The world is in desperate need in so many ways and, when we choose goodness, it provides opportunity for the gospel to speak into people's lives. #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

Daily devotion with Ockie We are ambassadors for Christ, but often our behaviour doesn't speak well! Eph 4:31 says that kindness has a lot to do with forgiveness and showing God's grace. Pause in the moment and ask how you can show God's kindness in the situation. Choose kindness and represent God well!

Daily devotion with Sandile “Patience” means “long-suffering, holding back, enduring” Jesus endured suffering and pain on the cross. He held back His own will and chose the will of His Father for you and I. Continue to spend time with God in His word, in His presence and in prayer for yourself and for others, and allow God to build patience in your life.

  Daily devotion with Melville Why do we need peace and what robs us of peace? Challenges cause anxiety and distress in our lives, but God wants us to live in a state of being where our mind, feelings and behaviour are at peace. Phil 4:6-7 tells us that God has our back and that He restores our peace, and Colossians 3:15 says that we need to allow God's peace to guide us.

Daily devotion with Candice How do we get joy? Psalm 43:5 says we need to rejoice to become joyful - whether we feel like it or not! Romans 12:2 says we need to have hope in God's promises. When we have hope that we have a future in God, we are filled with joy. So the question today is this: Who are we allowing to shape our expectation of the future? Politicians, medical scientists, teachers, or the promises of God? #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch

Daily devotion with Steve - The word Love has been completely overused in our society today and, depending on the context, means different things. 1 John says that God is Love. The Holy Spirit wants to make God more real in our lives so that we will express the Love of God to those around us. Love is a choice and it is also a journey. Let us trust God to give us more love by the work of His Holy Spirit. #dailydevotional #cityhillchurch
