What kind of impact do we have on the people around us? Are we simply absorbing our environment, or intentionally shaping it? In Week 2 of our One Another series, we explore how Biblical encouragement goes beyond compliments and positive words. It stirs faith, points people to Jesus and reminds us of God's faithfulness, even in difficult seasons. Discover how we can be intentional about strengthening one another, drawing out God-given potential and building a community that reflects Jesus. Biblical encouragement doesn't only change how we feel. It changes how we follow.

Being surrounded by people isn’t the same as being truly known. In Week 1, we explore why we need each other, how community shapes us to become more like Jesus, and how our love for one another reflects Him. Discover the power of authentic Christian community and ask yourself: Who are your four? Who will carry you through life’s challenges, speak the truth in love, and walk alongside you as you grow in faith? Join CityHill Church Amanzimtoti as we discover what it means to move from the crowd into genuine community.

Are you trying to do life in your own strength? In this week’s message, CityHill Church Amanzimtoti explores what it means to live a Spirit-filled life, relying on the Holy Spirit rather than our own strength. Discover how to stay connected to Him, receive His power and move from simply surviving to truly thriving. It takes God to serve God.

What does it mean to live a life that truly matters? In the final week of our Rooted series through Colossians, we discover that significance isn’t about being impressive, visible, or well-known. It’s about being rooted in Jesus and allowing Him to work through us to make a difference in the lives of others. Drawing from Colossians 4, we explore four ways to live a life of purpose: pray faithfully, notice people, speak life, and live in community. Through the inspiring stories of ordinary people whose simple acts of obedience had extraordinary ripple effects, we’re reminded that we never know how God might use one prayer, one conversation, or one act of kindness to change a life. We’re not rooted in Christ just to survive life’s storms; we’re rooted to bear fruit. Our challenge is simple: One Person. One Prayer. One Step. Who has God placed in front of you? How can you pray for them? What is one step you can take to encourage, serve, forgive, or share Jesus with them? As we close our journey through Colossians, we’re reminded that our identity, security, and purpose are found in Jesus. Because of what He has done for us on the cross, we can live fruitful lives that bring glory to Him and make an eternal difference in the world around us. Join us for this week’s message from CityHill Church Amanzimtoti, and discover how being rooted in Jesus empowers us to reach out and live a life that truly matters.

What needs to be shed so Christ can transform you? In Colossians 3, we’re challenged to leave behind the old self and become a new creation—rooted in Christ and clothed with compassion, kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness and love. Like a caterpillar in a chrysalis, God is often doing His deepest work beneath the surface. As He transforms us, our lives can become a source of strength, shelter and blessing to those around us.

What are you really rooted in? In Week 2 of CityHill Church Amanzimtoti’s Rooted series, we dive into Colossians 2 and discover how insecurity, comparison, rejection, control and the need for approval can reveal what’s happening beneath the surface. This message challenges us to stop simply managing our behaviour and allow Jesus to transform us from the roots up. Learn how to Notice, Name, Trace and Replace unhealthy roots with the truth of who we are in Christ.

When life feels bigger than you, where do you look? In Week 1 of Rooted, we discover that our security isn’t found in certainty or control, but in Jesus—the One who is above it all and holds all things together

Our words have power. They can build up or tear down, bring life or leave lasting wounds. In this message, we explore what Scripture teaches about stewarding our tongues and discover three practical principles: Root, Relearn and Release. 🌱 Root — What fills our hearts eventually comes out of our mouths.⏸️ Relearn — Pause before you speak: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it loving?🗣️ Release — Choose to speak life, healing, hope and encouragement. Be challenged to surrender your words to Jesus and discover how a small tongue can change the course of a life.

This week at CityHill Church Amanzimtoti, we explore "The Universal Language" from Acts 4. Although people interpreted the same miracle differently, one truth remained undeniable: Jesus was at work. Discover how a transformed life, unwavering courage, and the unchanging Word of God speak a language understood across every culture and generation. Be challenged not to focus only on God's miracles, but on the Miracle Worker Himself, and to live a life that clearly points others to Christ. .

What does God want to do through you? In this message from Acts 3, we discover three qualities that enable God to work powerfully through His people: Compassion to truly see others, Courage to step out in faith, and Christ as the focus of every miracle and testimony. As Peter and John encountered the lame man, they offered more than temporary relief—they pointed him to lasting transformation in Jesus. Be encouraged to move from simply receiving God's presence to sharing His love, power, and hope with those around you.

This week at CityHill Church Amanzimtoti, we explore the powerful account of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate in Acts 3 and ask a challenging question: What are you expecting from God? Through this message, we're reminded that we often settle for temporary relief when God desires complete transformation. Discover how God's plans are greater than our expectations, why delay is not denial, and how the power of Jesus still changes lives today. Be encouraged to lift your expectations, step out in faith, and move from simply surviving to experiencing the transforming grace of God.

In this week's message, we explore the powerful story of Ebenezer from 1 Samuel and discover the difference between pursuing God's presence and simply relying on religious routines. Israel's greatest mistake wasn't losing the Ark of the Covenant—it was drifting away from the God the Ark represented. Through Samuel's call to repentance, we're reminded that true victory comes when we put Jesus first. God doesn't want us to treat faith like a lucky charm or settle for ritual over relationship. Instead, He invites us back into His presence, where He restores, renews, and fights our battles. Samuel raised a stone and called it Ebenezer—"Stone of Help"—declaring, "Thus far the Lord has helped us." Today, our lives are meant to be living monuments that point people to Jesus, giving Him all the glory for every victory and every testimony. Join us as we discover why every defeat should bring us back to The Point, and every victory should point to Jesus.

What do we do when God asks us to trust Him even when His ways don’t make sense? In the final week of our Made for More: A Journey with Joshua series, we journey into Joshua 6 and the story of Jericho. The Israelites faced fortified walls and an unconventional battle plan, but God was teaching them something greater than how to win a war — He was teaching them to trust His promises, walk in obedience, and worship even when they couldn’t yet see the breakthrough. This message reminds us that God’s victories begin with His promises, we are called to keep walking and worshipping even in wartime, and every victory ultimately points us to Jesus. Whatever walls you may be facing, remember: the war has already been won through Christ. We don’t fight for victory — we fight from victory. Tune in and be encouraged to trust what God says more than what you see, keep obeying when nothing seems to be changing, and give God the glory for every victory. “Having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” — Colossians 2:15

In this week's CityHill Church Amanzimtoti message, we continue our Made For More series through the book of Joshua, exploring Joshua 5 and discovering that God's greatest work often happens before the breakthrough. As Israel stood on the edge of the Promised Land, God didn't send them straight into battle—He called them to surrender, healing, and renewed covenant. Through powerful biblical teaching and personal testimony, this message reminds us that God is more interested in forming our character than simply changing our circumstances. Learn why preparation is not a delay, how to trust God when His methods change, and what it means to surrender to His strategy instead of relying on your own strength. If you're standing on the edge of a new season, waiting for breakthrough, or wondering why God has asked you to pause, this episode will encourage you to trust His timing, embrace His preparation, and step confidently into the purpose He has for you.

In Week 4 of our Made for More series through the book of Joshua, we explore Joshua 4 and discover why God instructed His people to build a memorial after crossing the Jordan River. Those twelve stones were more than a monument—they were a reminder of God's faithfulness and a testimony for future generations. This message challenges us to remember what God has brought us through, because remembering His faithfulness builds our faith for what's ahead. We'll also unpack the difference between remembering and dwelling on the past, and discover how God can transform our greatest tests into powerful testimonies that inspire faith in others. No matter what season you're facing, this message will encourage you to trust that the same God who made a way before is faithful to lead you forward again.
