Sermons from City on a Hill, Wellington

Worthy is the Lamb

Preacher: Mal Gill

Date: 30/05/2026

Series: It's the End of the World - Church Camp 2026

Reading: Rev 4-5

When Christians in the ancient world faced persecution and felt unseen, God gave John a vision of heaven — a throne room where the Lamb who was slain is worshipped alongside the Father. This sermon explores how that heavenly reality in Revelation 4–5 speaks directly into our own moments of discouragement and gospel-weariness.

The Serious Joy of Life with God

Preacher: Andrew Southerton

Date: 25/05/2026

Series: Choose Life

Reading: Deut 27:1-13 & Gal 3:10-14

What happens when the law demands perfection and we fall short? Deuteronomy 27 confronts us with the weight of sin and its consequences, but the story doesn't end there. Galatians 3:10-14 shows us how Christ steps into the curse so we can receive the blessing. This message explores what that means for us.

Ancient Laws, Timeless Truths

Preacher: Andy Williams

Date: 17/05/2026

Series: Choose Life

Reading: Deut 12 & Psalm 19

Why do Christians follow some Old Testament laws but not others? Andy walks through Deuteronomy 12-26, exploring what these ancient laws, about worship, feasting, justice, and caring for the vulnerable, might reveal about who God is and what he loves, and how they find their fulfilment in Jesus.

Remember the Lord

Preacher: Andrew Southerton

Date: 10⧸05⧸2026

Series: Choose Life

Reading: Deut 9:1-8 & Ephe 2:1-10

What if the blessings we enjoy aren't actually about us at all? In Deuteronomy 9, Moses warns Israel — just as they're about to receive everything God promised — that pride has a sneaky way of rewriting the story. This message explores what grace really means, and why no one gets to boast

The God Who Speaks

Preacher: Paul Shoemark

Date: 3⧸05⧸2026

Series: Choose Life

Reading: Deut 5:1-22, Hebrews 1:1-3

What actually shapes your life? In Deuteronomy 5, Paul explores the Ten Commandments, not as a checklist to earn God's favour, but as words of grace spoken to people already loved and rescued. Could it be that hearing and obeying God's word is where real freedom is found?
