Welcome to the weekly CityHill Church Amanzimtoti Podcast. Join us this week for the last week (Week 6) of our “At The Table” series, we explore Jesus’ parable of The Great Wedding Banquet from Luke 14:16–24. This powerful teaching reminds us that God has prepared an incredible invitation for every person—a place at His table in the Kingdom.

In this message, we unpack three key truths:
• You are personally invited to God’s great banquet through Jesus.
• Excuses can keep us from the invitation when good things become distractions from the King.
• God calls us to examine our hearts, reminding us that His grace—not our achievements—gives us a seat at the table.

This episode challenges us to consider how easily everyday priorities, blessings, or even pride can become barriers to fully responding to God’s call. Instead, we’re invited to put Jesus first, embrace His grace, and extend that same invitation to others.

The message concludes with a celebration of baptisms, as people publicly say “yes” to the King’s invitation and step into new life in Christ.

Join us as we reflect on God’s lavish love, His open invitation, and the life-changing decision to accept it.

Welcome to the weekly CityHill Church Amanzimtoti Podcast. In this episode we on with week 5 of our series, "At the Table," we explore the radical hospitality of Jesus through the lens of His encounter with those on the margins. Drawing from Matthew 9:9-12, we look at how Jesus intentionally shared space with tax collectors and "sinners," demonstrating that His table is a place of healing and transformation

Welcome to the weekly CityHill church Amanzimtoti Podcast. Join us this week as we continue our At the Table series. This week we see that communion is more than a moment—it’s a promise. In this message, we reflect on Jesus’ words in Gospel of Luke 22 and the coming celebration described in Book of Revelation 19. The Lord’s Table reminds us that because of Christ’s sacrifice, we are forgiven, invited, and heaven-bound.

We look back with gratitude for the cross and forward with anticipation to the eternal feast to come.

Welcome to the weekly CityHill Church Amanzimtoti Podcast.

In this week’s message, we continue our At the Table series. Join us as we unpack Acts 2:42–47 and explore the powerful picture of the early church. Rooted in koinonia — true biblical fellowship — we see a community devoted to the apostles’ teaching, prayer, shared worship, shared meals, and radical generosity.

Fellowship begins first with the Father and overflows into shared faith, shared life, and shared mission with God’s family. Like the deep roots of a redwood tree, the early believers were deeply connected — to God and to one another — creating a strong, growing, joy-filled community.

We reflect on important questions:

Are we devoted to meeting together?

Is our table open to others?

Do we celebrate when God adds to His church?

Welcome to the weekly CityHill Church Amanzimtoti Podcast. In this week’s message, we continue our At the Table series by exploring how real transformation happens when we make room for Jesus at the center of our lives. Through the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19, we see how an encounter with Christ can move us from curiosity to connection, and from brokenness to restoration.

This episode unpacks the power of gathering in community, the importance of public, personal, and private expressions of faith, and the question we all need to ask: Who sits at the head of our table? As Zacchaeus’ life was transformed from greed to generosity, we’re challenged to consider how inviting Jesus into every area of our lives leads to lasting change.

You’ll also hear encouragement to move from muttering to mercy — remembering that the people we struggle with still matter deeply to God.

Join us as we discover how transformation takes place around the table, where grace, truth, and community meet.

Welcome to the weekly CityHill Church Amanzimtoti Podcast. In Week 1 of At The Table, we explore Luke 15 and the heart of a Father who runs toward the broken, restores identity, and sets a table of grace. This message reveals God’s invitation to relationship over religion and belonging over performance. The table is set — come home.

Welcome to the weekly CityHill Church Amanzimtoti Podcast. In the last week of our Locked In series, we explore God’s design for freedom and fruitfulness by putting God first in every area of life — especially our finances. This message unpacks the principle of “First Things First”, showing how order, peace, and blessing flow when our time, talents, and treasures are aligned with God’s priorities.

With practical biblical teaching on stewardship, tithing, and trust, this message calls us to live a God-first life that leads to freedom, alignment, and lasting fruitfulness.

Welcome to the weekly CityHill Church Amanzimtoti Podcast. In Locked In (Part 2), we explore Romans 12 and discover how God has uniquely gifted every believer to play a vital role in building His Church. Using a practical toolbox analogy, this message unpacks the seven grace gifts and challenges us to stop comparing, start engaging, and place our lives in God’s hands. When we use our gifts, we become fruitful, others are built up, and God is glorified.

Welcome to the CityHill Church Amanzimtoti Podcast. In this message, we launch our new series Locked In, calling the church to start the year with focus, intention, and devotion. Drawing from Acts 2–4, we see how the early church committed themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer—and how God moved powerfully through ordinary people who chose to stay “in gear.”
This episode challenges us to move from drifting to devotion, from comfort to courage, and to lock into Jesus with our time, talents, and treasures. As we face opposition, pressure, or tiredness, we’re reminded that real power comes from being with Jesus—and when we lock in, God brings growth, boldness, and life transformation.

Welcome to the weekly CityHill Church Amanzimtoti Podcast. This week, we explore Jesus’ invitation to remain connected to Him so that our lives can bear lasting fruit. Drawing from John 15 and Song of Songs 2:15, we’re reminded that while God has big plans for our growth, the enemy often works subtly through the “little foxes” that quietly damage our roots.

We unpack how minor sins, neglected habits, and unaddressed attitudes can slowly undermine our fruitfulness, even when things seem to be going well. This episode challenges us to guard our connection with Christ, recognise the small compromises that matter, and rebuild healthy boundaries that protect our spiritual lives and relationships.

As we look ahead, we’re encouraged to stay rooted in Jesus, committed to daily connection, and intentional about removing anything that threatens the growth God desires for us—so that together, we can flourish and glorify Him.
