City on a Hill Melbourne East

Sermon: 10 Cities Sunday

Preacher: Sermon by Nick Coombs

Scripture: Isaiah 57:14-15

On this 10 Cities Sunday, as we reflect on our vision to plant 50 churches across 10 cities, we take a moment to look at our own house at City on a Hill Melbourne East. We find ourselves in a vital season of rebuilding. But as we look at Isaiah 57, God reminds us that rebuilding isn't powered by human hustle or self-sufficiency. True spiritual movement begins when we lay down our pride, clear the obstructions for others to encounter Christ, and cultivate a contrite, humble heart.
