City on a Hill Edinburgh

In this message, Pastor Pete continues our Money Myths series by tackling three common misconceptions about tithing. We’ll discover how tithing is still relevant today, why it belongs in God’s house and how true generosity begins by putting God first, not waiting until we have enough.

In the first message of this series, Pastor Pete explores three common myths about money and what the Bible teaches about generosity and stewardship. Drawing from 1 Chronicles 29, he reminds us that everything we have belongs to God, and that we are called to be faithful stewards rather than owners of what He has entrusted to us. Discover how our attitude towards money reflects the condition of our hearts, why our private acts of generosity matter to God, and how giving to His house reflects our love for Him and His Church.

What does it mean to leave a legacy that lasts? Pastor Duncan explores David’s preparations for the temple and draws out principles for building God’s Kingdom across generations. True Christian legacy isn’t about making our own name great but faithfully preparing the way for others to continue God’s work, raising the next generation, and putting His purposes above our own recognition. Ultimately, Jesus, the greater Son of David, is building something that will last forever - a people redeemed by His blood and becoming a dwelling place for God by His Spirit.

What does it look like to become a people prepared for all that God has ahead? As we look back with gratitude, look forward with faith, and look up in prayer, we discover God’s faithfulness over the last year and his vision for the future. We also share an exciting update on our annual finances. As we step into the future God has for City on a Hill, we are called to work together, pray together, and above all, rest in Jesus' finished work.

Jesus teaches that those who abide in Him will bear much fruit. In Part One of our Vision Series, Pastor Pete explores what it means for God to prune us, both individually and as a church, and how this prepares us for greater fruitfulness. He shares the prophetic picture of a coming season of plenty and introduces the vision God is placing before City on a Hill for the next seven years. Ultimately, this vision is not about striving, but about abiding in Jesus, obeying His leading, and trusting Him to produce the fruit.

In the final chapter of 2 Samuel, David’s decision to count Israel’s fighting men reveals his pride and misplaced confidence. As he faces the consequences, he discovers again that God is both just and abundantly merciful. This message also explores the cost of sin and how David’s sacrifice ultimately points us to Jesus – the perfect sacrifice who gave His life so that we might live.

Pastor Pete explores the parallel between David and Jesus by highlighting how both called ordinary, often broken, people and transformed them into mighty men and women of faith. Like David’s men, Jesus’ disciples are also called to follow Him, stand firmly in the grace and victory He has won, and go courageously by responding to His call to advance His Kingdom.

In this message, Pastor Pete looks at King David’s final public words, and what they reveal about godly leadership. He explores what makes a great leader, how God raises leaders regardless of their background, and how David’s final prophecy points to Jesus, the ultimate King who will reign over all mankind.

In this message, Pastor Bruno explores how David, despite a life marked by wars, betrayals and mistakes, attributed all his victories and deliverances to God's character and grace. He invites us to reflect on whether we are "writing a song" of gratitude to God or of self-glorification and highlights that true spiritual rewards come from humility and genuine repentance, not from personal perfection.

In this message, Pastor Pete explores why bad things happen and how sin can be atoned for, using the events surrounding David, Saul and the Gibeonites to unpack the different causes of suffering and the consequences of sin. He then points to the Gospel, showing how Jesus, the ultimate Son, gave His life in our place to take away our sin.
