Kingdom Multiplication: Making Room for Mission
About this talk:
We are passionate about making room in our meetings, Life Groups and, most importantly, our own personal lives to lead others into God’s kingdom. In The Bible, Moses encountered God’s PRESENCE, was transformed for a PURPOSE and made room for God's POWER to see tens of thousands find freedom from slavery!

We are passionate about making room in our meetings, Life Groups and, most importantly, our own personal lives to lead others into God’s kingdom.
God’s Kingdom is about the spread and multiplication of God’s rule and reign. We are challenged to play our part!
Russ reminds us of how God has been speaking to Citygate about ‘pruning for fruitfulness’ - by continually abiding in him.
We explore the phrase 'pruning for fruitfulness' with biblical and real life stories and how we can expect God to bring greater future fruitfulness for us personally and as a church family.
Our first service of the year reflects on the year just gone. Our elders spend some time talking through their highlights and challenges we've faced as a church this year, as well as speaking to various aspects of our church life.
We look back at this year. This world has gone through some challenging times, but we want to be the hope to restore all that is broken through the Good News.
Tim reminds us that we need others in our lives to help us become more like Jesus - sharing our lives with other believers helps to smooth our 'rough edges'.
The Holy Spirit guides us and speaks to us, convicts us of sin, gives us peace and courage to walk in Jesus ways and become more like him.
If we are followers of Jesus then The Bible is our timeless manual, our guide to life, and Jesus asks us to know what's written inside it and be obedient to it.
We enter 2021 in challenging times due to COVID-19, but are reminded how the church is the hope to restore all that is broken through the Good News.
Our leadership team spend some time looking back on 2020, and discuss what God might want to say to our church. What if he wrote us a letter?
Russ revisits our theme for 2020 - ‘Blessed to Bless’ - and encourages us to continue to be a blessing as we 're-form' church by drawing on Zechariah's phrase of being a church without walls.
