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.

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?

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!

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

Alpha Week 7 - How & Why Should I Tell Others By Greg Stewart - Some people feel that one’s faith is a private matter whilst others feel “sharing of faith” is a vital and natural part of our relationship with God. This talk is aimed at helping you understand how and why you should tell others
PERSONAL REFLECTION
Read John 4:1-26
What do we know about the woman? How did Jesus initiate the conversation / contact? (v. 7) How did Jesus present the gospel?Why did he present it like this to her? (vv. 10, 13, 14)
What does he mean by ‘living water’ / ‘springs of water welling up to eternal life’? Why does she start talking about ‘mountains’? (v. 20) What does Jesus do about the red herring? What does it mean to be ‘presented with Jesus’? (v. 26) -
Alpha Week 6 - How Does God Guide Us By Steve Wimble - This week we aim to help you see that God has a wonderful plan for your life.
PERSONAL REFLECTION
Proverbs 16:1-9 (NIV)
What conditions does God attach to guiding us? (vv. 3, 5, 7) Confide in God No room for pride or independence Obedience What promises of success does he offer? (vv. 6b-8) Avoidance of evil Peaceful life How does this picture compare with your own experience? With so much confusion in the world, how do we know that God can handle it? (v. 1, 4, 9) God is sovereign He is in control -
Alpha Week 5 - How and Why Should I Pray? By Candice Reardon - If God knows our needs, why should we pray about them? What is the value of prayer?
PERSONAL REFLECTION
Read and reflect on the lord’s prayer in Matthew 6:5-13
Do verses 5-6 suggest that it’s wrong to pray in public? What is Jesus really getting at? Need for sincerity What can you do to reduce the distractions that get in the way of your time alone with God? (v.6) Need for secrecy What are the differences between pagan and Christian prayer? (v.7) What is the difference between the repetition in prayer that Jesus denounces and the persistence in prayer that he recommends? (v.7) Need for simplicity How could you apply the requests of the Lord’s Prayer more to your own life? Need for more structure Take time to talk about any answers to prayer that you have seen recently.
