Overview

CityLife Church kicked off the year with an invigorating service centered on the theme 'Overflowing Life'. Andrew Chisholm led the congregation through a deep reflection on living a life overflowing with God's love and spiritual abundance. The focus was not just on individual growth but on how this growth could overflow into communities and cities. The imagery of a cup overflowing with living water perfectly encapsulated this year's aspiration.

The service involved uplifting worship sessions that not only invigorated the spirit but also set the tone for the day's encouraging messages. Throughout the service, interactive elements like virtual high-fives and lively chats engaged the audience, both in-person and online, creating a sense of a connected and active church community. It was a vivid reminder of how the Holy Spirit moves individually and corporately in worship.

Additionally, the church rolled out its unique merchandise line, designed to visually express and celebrate the new theme. This move not only fosters a sense of belonging among members but also serves as a fashionable declaration of faith. The strategic plan for expansion, including new life groups and outreach initiatives, marks a significant step in CityLife's ongoing mission to transform local and global communities with God's kingdom values.

• 46:00 - 46:30 when we're about to give up out of the corner of our eye we see an army of reinforcements cascading down the hills we pick up our sword and shield and keep fighting that's overflow City Life kids will remain focused on taking kids on a journey of faith in partnership with our parents humbly following the holy spirit's leading I'm excited to really put our faith in action and that's that whole thing of overflow Love In Action this
• 46:30 - 47:00 overflow is happening because it has been cooking under the service as we've been um building on our vision to become fully Alive where I see this impacting our young adults Ministry is going into all the seven spheres of our society whether it be education or University or work or job place that we are just being activated in our daily lives so that we can overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit seeing moments of intervention everywhere we go and walk overflow means
• 47:00 - 47:30 multiplication we can read it in Genesis CH 1 how God created everything and even he before created Adam and Eve he said be fruitful and multiply so I believe 20125 is the year of growth and multiplication for every life group and for our church as well yeah I think for for Creative this year we get a really awesome opportunity to lead people into worship what I really am excited to see is how that translates Beyond The Four
• 47:30 - 48:00 Walls of our church how um we see these overflowing moments in all parts of our lives and as we get outside the walls of our church how do we be more present in more places more engaged deeper relationship what does it look like for our kids hopes to go to the next level for red frogs to be launched across different sites I am so excited to see what God is going to do as we step into this year of overflow and see us be uh released into everything that God is calling us
• 48:00 - 48:30 to I believe there are many nations on Earth and there are many people groups that need to hear the good news of eternal life we feel the spirit is leading us to have an overflow impact in new nations and also in new regions by planting new churches and also by restoring [Applause] communities here remembers our City Life vision from 2022 right through to now
• 48:30 - 49:00 it's called Fully Alive I hope you remember that part and the key phrase that we've been thinking about praying into and believing for is we see City Life Church as a Spirit-filled movement where each person is becoming fully alive in Christ so that every city overflows with Kingdom Life Now I want you to notice those two small words right in the middle of that sentence so that s o t HT two very important words
• 49:00 - 49:30 because there is a purpose to our vision we want to become fully alive in Christ in all the dimensions of our spiritual walk so that what is the so that the so that is so that every city overflows with Kingdom Life so as we come towards the next two years of our vision period 2025 26 we want to move from that area of becoming fully alive in Christ we're going to continue to do that but move and have a greater Focus or a
• 49:30 - 50:00 disproportionate emphasis or a greater emphasis on this area of overflowing life so the question we want to answer today is what does overflowing life mean for you and what does overflowing life mean for us as a church and you've just heard some fabulous answers to that question first a bit of Vision Revision however I want you to think back to 2022 when we first introduced our Fully Alive vision and what was our Focus area at that point in time if you said Spirit
• 50:00 - 50:30 life you got it 100% correct we had a focus on Spirit life because if we're going to overflow with God's Kingdom Life we first of all need to be filled with the spirit life of God's holy spirit so emphasis there was on encountering fullness of Life In Christ through the Holy Spirit can you remember what the focus was in 2023 if you said shared life you're absolutely correct and our focus in that period of time was becoming more like Christ as we share
• 50:30 - 51:00 life together the holy spirit moves in our lives individually but he also moves in our lives corporately in our life groups through our life tracks training through our discipleship and mentoring and all those things we emphasized in that year and we're continuing to build on in the years that followed What was our focus last year I know it seems a long time ago you've all had holidays Christmas New Year all that type of thing nevertheless just think back what were we focusing on if you said Kingdom
• 51:00 - 51:30 Life once again you're absolutely correct so our Focus was if you like starting to move into that area of fulfilling our purpose fulfilling the so that and bringing God's Kingdom Life wherever we are we had so many stories shared fabulous stories about God's Kingdom Life of love and action with love and joy and peace and Shalom peace all those areas over 600 stories Kingdom stories shared last year very encouraging to here I like comparing those three Focus areas Spirit life
• 51:30 - 52:00 shared life Kingdom Life to if you like an upward inward outward rhythm in our Christian walk the upward Focus Spirit life is our focus on God and our individual and corporate relationship to him the shared life is our life is a community and the kingdom life is our outward Focus so it's kind of like a two-step three-step Rhythm kind of like a waltz one two 3 one two 3 one two 3 if you like up and out up and out and as we become better and better at that we
• 52:00 - 52:30 become more alive and fully Alive like Christ and so we've had a spiritual health check which we've conducted for three years now we over 800 people each year sometimes more sometimes a little bit closer to 800 have actually answered questions around their spiritual walk that includes so many of you and we've got those results we've analyzed them we've looked at them over the last 3 years and I am so excited so glad to report to you that we are becoming Fully Alive like Christ in this inward area of
• 52:30 - 53:00 our shared life together people rating out of 10 from0 to 10 people in 2022 rated themselves at an average of around about 7.7 and that's increased to 7.91 in 2024 that's our inward area of our shared life together in the upward area of our relationship with God our Bible reading our prayers there's also be some growth where people have rated themselves as 7.76 back in 2022 and it's increased now to 8 8 now in the Kingdom Life the outward focused area it's not
• 53:00 - 53:30 quite so high rating still some work to do on that area nevertheless we continue to grow in that area as well so you individually are actually self-evaluating and telling us that you feel you're doing better in this whole areas these rhythms these three rhythms are becoming Fully Alive like Christ now if we just simply emphasize the up the Inward and the outward we're missing one area what do you think that might be well think again of that analogy of a three-step rhythm a Walts if you like 1
• 53:30 - 54:00 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 you can have that Walts You Can Dance those rhythms on one spot and never go anywhere I believe in the Christian Life we're called to move onwards there is an onward Focus as well as an outward Focus to the Christian Life God calls us to take God's Kingdom Life of love and action to new locations from the cities and towns where we are to the the next and that's our focus in the next 2 years an outward focus of
• 54:00 - 54:30 overflowing life where we're not just simply dancing on the spot what we're taking God's Kingdom Life of love and action from one city to the next one neighborhood to the next one street to the next or even one nation to the next so our overflowing Life vision for the next two years is we want to see God's Kingdom Life of love and action overflowing from every Community City and Nation where we live to the next we want to see more presence in more places
• 54:30 - 55:00 multiplication in new low so what does overflowing life mean for you what does overflowing life mean for you personally and what does it mean for us as a church as you've heard one of the pictures one of the images which has captured our imagination as we've thought through and prayed into this area over a number of years now is the image of an overflowing cup it could be a teacup could be a cup of water could be a cup of Coca-Cola any
• 55:00 - 55:30 one of those images are a powerful thing which has helped us to embrace and think about what this might mean for us as we enter into two years of overflowing life I think one of the reasons why it's such a powerful image and has a prophetic element to us over these next two years is because it's thoroughly based on scripture if you go to Psalm 23 which so many of you will be familiar with in about verse five it begins to talk about how in the presence of our enemies God anoints our head with oil and our cup
• 55:30 - 56:00 overflows now first a little bit of an aside overflowing life isn't just for when everything's going well in this scripture it's talking about in the presence of our enemies when things might not be going so well when there might be a few challenges that we are facing we can still experience the anointing of God's presence and we can still experience the overflowing cup that God pours out into our life now I believe in the Bible when the holy
• 56:00 - 56:30 spirit gives us a picture or an image it's a good thing to pause as it says in Psalms have a sea moment a moment's pause when you really reflect on what does that natural image communicate to us spiritually in terms of our walk with God and our life as a church and so I want to pause for a minute and reflect on that image of an overflowing cup from Psalm 23 and imagine what it might mean for our vision of overflowing life over the next 2 years now to help me do that
• 56:30 - 57:00 I've got some cups here I've got a couple of jugs here and I want you to imagine with me or think through with me reflect through with me what this means what is overflowing life all about first thing to note in this picture we have here I want to compare these to the Holy Spirit there's the Holy Spirit and then you have some big vessels and some little vessels now that could be us individually some of us have more capacity than others some of us less capacity but every one of us can experience the overflowing life of God's
• 57:00 - 57:30 spirit poured out in their life but I want us to think about this as a church as well let's imagine here's the Holy Spirit and here are our church services and here are some of our Ministries and our life groups well we want to minister we want to be people who serve God out of the Overflow and we are both open to receiving from God as he pours out his Spirit life into our life we want to come into that place of overflowing life but we can also be people who pour out
• 57:30 - 58:00 God's spirit Ministers of God's holy spirit into the lives of others and we pour out God's spirit into another life group or another person we come along to the church services here we experience the grace and the power of God and then we take that into our communities into our Nations into our job places into our life groups and we pour that out into the lives of others so I hope you see the corporate picture here now let's pause let's think about this for a moment let's say we just come along to
• 58:00 - 58:30 church service and we continually receiving the Holy Spirit and he's been poured out to our lives and we have the Overflow happening praise God there's the Overflow but notice one thing three things maybe four things can happen when our life begins to overflow first of all that overflow May simply spill over and it will go to other places but it's kind of like wasted it's not utilized but what if we received that overflow and then we began to pour out our life into the lives of others into other life
• 58:30 - 59:00 groups then we see multiplication happening you know we can be in a place where we're just continually receiving receiving receiving from God but God wants us to pour that out into other people's lives now for that happen and not just to waste the Overflow what do we need to do we need to be prepared we need to have other vessels other relationships other life groups where we can actually be involved and connected with and I believe this is a power ful picture of how overflowing life healthy filled with
• 59:00 - 59:30 the Holy Spirit full of the power of God can lead to healthy multiplication in our lives individually as we minister to others but also with life girs and Ministries notice one more thing there's so much we can get out of this image when you pour out this water into this cup and it overflows just spills over it doesn't stay in the same location it goes over the border into new locations and that's even more powerfully the case
• 59:30 - 60:00 if we take some of the what we have received of God and begin to pour it out into other people's lives it's in a new location it's in another place and I believe this Geographic dimension of overflowing life is a very important and a very biblical image imagine for example we just had one container here and the holy spirit's poured out there and we want to be Ministers of the Holy Spirit and so here we have we have a whole queue of people lining up here and we're saying herey have another drink and then the next person comes have another drink that's a very inefficient
• 60:00 - 60:30 way of using the Overflow what if instead we take that and we pour that out into these other vessels they could be life groups they could be Ministries and other locations and then we come before God and he begins to pour out in our church services again and there's this constant inflow and outflow into other places other Ministries other life groups then you get an even greater potential for Ministry EXP expansion now we're told in habac I think it's chapter 2:14 that the Earth shall be filled with
• 60:30 - 61:00 the glory of the Lord the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea and I believe this is a picture of what God is doing when he pours out a spirit into individual people's lives into those containers and we take God that spirit and then we pour it out into the lives of others including into our life groups and our Ministries and individually in our workplaces then God's glory begins to multiply out of the Overflow not out of lack but out of the abundance of God's presence we see healthy multiplication
• 61:00 - 61:30 happen I hope your imagination has been caught by this picture maybe there's things that the holy spirit will Quicken to you out of this picture which I haven't thought of yet there's so much power in the word of God and in this picture from Psalm 23 to speak to our individual lives and to our church life about overflow so what does concretely overflow in life mean for us as a church and mean for us individually well I pointed out that there's a strong
• 61:30 - 62:00 Geographic dimension in this image of overflowing life it goes across the borders it multiplies into other places and we see this again and again in the scripture think about Jesus here's Jesus he didn't just minister to one town but he went from town to town sharing the gospel of the Kingdom sharing that life of the spirit with others what does he say in Mark 1:38 let us guard somewhere else to the nearby Village so I can preach there also that's why I've
• 62:00 - 62:30 come we see also this movement of overflowing life into new locations in the call and the command that Jesus gives us to be Witnesses in Acts chapter ver8 we're told but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you so that's the filling of the Holy Spirit but the filling of the Holy Spirit has us so that it's so that we might take that Kingdom Life wherever we are and so that that Kingdom Life of love and action will overflow to other communities cities Nations neighborhoods
• 62:30 - 63:00 streets and workplaces and that's kind of what acts 18 says in the dimension of the culture of that time you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my Witnesses in Jerusalem that's the first location then in Judea that's a wider location then in Samaria even wider location and then to the ends of the Earth Paul himself took out took up this dimension of taking God's overflowing life to the next town the next city because we're told in Romans chap 15: 19 to 20 by the power of
• 63:00 - 63:30 signs and wonders through the power of the Holy Spirit that's the filling of the spirit so from Jerusalem all the way to elim I have proclaimed the gospel of Christ it has been always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known so I'm not building on someone else's foundation so Paul himself we can read in the book of Acts went from City to City to City taking the overflowing life being fully alive in Christ to other communities cities and nation and that's a part of our
• 63:30 - 64:00 mission as well our mission as a church is to raise up fervent followers of Jesus Christ to reach out and impact communities cities and Nations for the kingdom of God and in this period of time the expression that that we're emphasizing is this overflowing life are bringing God's Kingdom Life from City to city nation to Nation Street to Street neighborhood to neighborhood and into new locations this has been a part of our DNA as a church for decades and decades from the very beginning one of
• 64:00 - 64:30 the analogies that we've shared over the years is in some ways our journey as a church has been a bit like that journey in the book of Acts when Richard Holland our pioneering Foundation senior Minister first started City Life Church that's kind of like Jerusalem where he experienced the power of the Holy Spirit and he continued to flow on from that point of time when Kevin Conor came on a senior Minister many years ago now I think it was around about 1987 he introduced us to a vision not just to be a Jerusalem Church but to be an Antioch Church a church who had a vision
• 64:30 - 65:00 to reach out and send missionaries and that's really when our global missions Ministry was first birthed at City Life Church as we saw overflowing life of this power of God flow out into other nations then Mark came on Mark Connor a senior Minister round about 19976 I think it was and he had the vision for us to be an Ephesus Church and this is moving from Antioch to Ephesus news locations we multiplied into four different localities casy
• 65:00 - 65:30 Manningham later on at Whitty as well as well as andox congregation great to see you all there and I believe you're part of this overflowing Life vision that God has called us to so where are we now well if you remember Paul's Journey he didn't want to stop at Ephesus didn't want to stop at Antioch no he felt God had called him to Rome and on that journey to Rome there were some things that went wrong there was a storm there was a shipwreck there are challenges we've certainly had some challenges over the last 3 years or so with lockdowns
• 65:30 - 66:00 and Co but we're coming out of that challenge because I believe God is also calling us to go to Rome that's one way of understanding our overflowing Life vision where is the next town where is the next city where is the next location where's the next neighbor where is the next street where is God calling us as a church and individually to minister out of the overflowing life God has given us where is your
• 66:00 - 66:30 Rome we prayed about that we've thought about that as a church but first of all let me talk about it for you individually it's fascinating here in Australia did you realize that in Australia on average people move homes once 13 times during their lifetime that's once every 6 and 1/2 years that means in the next 2 years of overflowing life almost 30% of you will be in a new location you'll be in a new suburb a new Street and what about regarding that as
• 66:30 - 67:00 part of the mission that God has called you to Jesus tells us in Matthew as you go it sounds like it's a command go but it's actually in the Greek as you go as you go to your new neighborhood your new location your new home your new job your new vocation your new ministry area As You Go Make Disciples what of every nation once again that Geographic Dimension so I believe some of you just as you go God is going to take you to new locations and you're going to take that overflowing life of God's kingdom
• 67:00 - 67:30 wherever you are but let's think about this for us as a church as a church we also believe as we work together and pray together and act together into this overflowing life Dimension we are going to multiply over the next two years healthy sites life groups and Ministries into over a hundred new locations that includes new cities new nations and new communities by the end of 2026 practically speaking that means we're going to multiply life groups
• 67:30 - 68:00 we've been talking to all of our life group uh Network pastors and as they shared and talked about that they're believing right across all our sites for 45 New Life groups this coming year that's three more at Casey two more online six more at Whitty and seven at wning Manningham well done to all you what a great overflowing Life vision for Life groups if we continue to do that for two years then we'll have over 500 life groups by the end of 2026 it's also multiplying Ministries we're looking to
• 68:00 - 68:30 multiply Ministries into new locations taking God's presence wherever we are including up in beverage out of Whittle sea with an alpha Ministry including a possibly a red flogs Ministry in rmit in the north once again out of Whitty including kids spers and Cantonese Alpha out of Manningham including other plans that we're not actually ready to share yet but we will be looking at an Outreach Ministry possibly down in the Mornington Peninsula as well over this two-year period we want to multiply sites and we have concrete plans to look at three more sites in addition to the
• 68:30 - 69:00 fabulous Melbourne City site we pioneered over the last two years and we're also going to look to multiply Nations and AD Ministry Outreach Partnerships in three more Nations so that's the Practical element of the vision which you're going to hear more about over the next few months as we tell you more and more about how that's going to be worked out but I want you to imagine God's overflowing life being poured out in Melbourne and other nations around the world and to help you with that have a look at this map this is what God has already done through
• 69:00 - 69:30 City Life Church here's our five sites we currently have manham wh SE Casey Knox Melbourne City God is working through all of your lives he's filling you with the spirit so his overflowing life can multiply into new locations here are all the life groups out of those sites what a fabulous group of Life groups and God is calling us to continue to multiply life groups as we believe for his holy spirit to be poured
• 69:30 - 70:00 out into the lives of people in other places and here are all the people that that involves that's all of you who are watching and being a part of this message today I want you to look at that map and can you see all the empty spaces can you see all those places where obviously there might be other churches there but there are still places which there are people who need to hear the gospel and we can be a part of that we can be a part of taking God's Kingdom Life wherever we are and more than that seeing God's Kingdom Life of love and
• 70:00 - 70:30 action overflowing from every city community and Nation where we are to the next where is your Rome where is God calling to you I want you to listen to this video now which is a prophetic word that was spoken over City Life Church right back at the end of 1999 by a gentleman Emanuel canist trcy who now has gone to be with the Lord and as you listen to to this Vision this prophetic mandate allow that question to resonate in your mind
• 70:30 - 71:00 and begin to pray and seek God and ask God where is my Rome over the next two [Music] years but God said don't worry you're going to Rome see Rome is your destination you have a prophetic destination it's still the same word
• 71:00 - 71:30 Rome Rome is your destiny God has a Destiny for every one of you God has a purpose for every one of your lives God knows the end from the beginning you are predestined come on now God destined you to be here hallelujah because God wants you to know you have a destiny you have a future you have purpose for your life
• 71:30 - 72:00 God's got it all mapped out he knows you're going to [Music] Rome you Australians that you're going to have a window of opportunity I'm going to set a flame the fires of evangelism in this church there is going to be such an Evangelistic explosion that this whole auditorium at times will be turned into to a Maternity Ward where they'll be birthings of every kind of
• 72:00 - 72:30 description and not all of them will stay here but some will be a part of other congregations and you will not lament and you will not cry for I'm building my church and I'm building my kingdom and everything you have you will give away and for every family that you send to plant a church for every family or team that you send I'm going to give you 10 to replace them if you send 100 then you
• 72:30 - 73:00 know what you're going to get back as soon as you tithe people and resources your resources are going to explode and expand it's going to be so big and so gigantic that even like Peter had to call for his Partners to come to take in the Harvest the Harvest in Melbourne is going to be so great that every Pastor that loves me and walks with me and
• 73:00 - 73:30 wants it will be a part of the Gathering of the Harvest oh do you want to hear what the word of the Lord says you're always looking for a man you're always looking for a personality I'm not going to do this through one man I'm not going to do this through one organization I'm not going to do this through one denomination I'm pouring out my spirit upon every hungry man every
• 73:30 - 74:00 hungry and thirsty woman every boy and every girl I'm pulling the stops out I'm going to whelm you with my power and my presence sayeth the Lord are you ready for this Traditions will be thrown away Dead traditions even in their day good traditions even in their time that was what I was doing but you're going to be
• 74:00 - 74:30 a 21st century Church a new millennium church it's going to be a place where I rule in the hearts of my people and then when they come here what you are going to impart to them is not some trenching experience not just some ecstatic experience but you are going to give them strategies how to take Nation how to take cities how to bigger
• 74:30 - 75:00 Vision than you've ever had as a people hear this I will watch over that word and perform it and it will come to pass Hallelujah it was around about four years ago when
• 75:00 - 75:30 I reread that Prophecy from amanuel canist try and it really touched my heart about how relevant that is not just back then but relevant for us as a church now he asked that question where is our Rome where is our Rome as City Life Church where is the Rome for you at Casey where is the Rome for you at Manningham where is the Rome for you at Melbourne City where is the Rome for you at whitta I believe God is calling us and nudging us to take on this Mission this vision of overflowing life it's not
• 75:30 - 76:00 just a good idea it's a god idea God is calling us to grow and to multiply out of a healthy place of overflowing life where a spirit is poured out on us and then we can take that overflowing life to new locations new places new cities new nations and you can be a part of that so where is your Rome that's a great scripture in habac chap 2:14 the Earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord the knowledge of
• 76:00 - 76:30 the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea I believe wiy is going to be filled with the glory of the Lord I believe Casey is going to be filled with the glory of the Lord Melbourne City manham all of our sites Chinese congregations nox congregation as we simply allow the Holy Spirit to fill us and Empower us equip us and enable us and then respond by taking God's Kingdom Life wherever we are but even more than that bringing God's Kingdom Life of love and action from every Community City and
• 76:30 - 77:00 Nation where we live to the next where is your Rome what a great question to pray about and ask let me pray for you all Lord we pray that you would guide us by your spirit as we seek to continue to be a part of your mission of bringing your kingdom life in the various places where we are and more than that multiplying that Kingdom Life into new cities Nations communities Lord help us to be a community of people who can Embrace this vision of a 100 new locations over the next 2 years show us
• 77:00 - 77:30 Lord how we can be a part of that both individually but also corporately as a church reveal to us Lord where our Rome is and lead us there we pray in Jesus name amen what an awesome what an awesome message that was so good I love the prophetic word at the end as well I think it's so exciting for me to hear someone say that God's going to set out flames of evangelism on fire like that's so encouraging um and thinking about our
• 77:30 - 78:00 Rome um I think for me it's definitely uni Ministry at the moment so being able to go out and tell my friends at University what I believe invite them to church um and then knowing that I don't have to do that in my own strength but getting it fully from the holy spirit is just so encouraging yeah and you know what I also Lov is the fact that that that prophetic word was given to us back in 1999 and here we are in 2025 and that message and that those words spoken are more relevant now than they ever were so I'm so excited to see you know
• 78:00 - 78:30 those words actually come to fulfillment and see us as a church moving into that space more intentionally um through our vision and through our Ro which is so exciting um so my room is probably the city of Casey so this year had a little bit of a change um which is so exciting yeah so this is actually my last service online um so love you all but this is my yeah but sweet really sweet exactly but um but I'm going to be heading up as the Casey lead Pastor um down at our city
• 78:30 - 79:00 life campus yeah in the city of Casey so is so exciting and it will be an absolute blessing to watch how that grows and evolves under your leadership it's a great Community down there I'm really really excited about it so so that's more my room for this year which is a bit of a surprise I was coming in for a soft close at the end of last year didn't see it coming but God just shuffled things and yeah confirmed a number of things and yeah so I out of fa out in faith and I do think that's what's required of all of us this year as we step into this overflowing Kingdom
• 79:00 - 79:30 Life vision that it does it's going to require faith of us and I think the foundations of our church is literally built on the foundations of a man by the name of Richard Holland who was a faith filled man who you know had a real Caleb Spirit of give me my Mountain like you know so I'm really excited that we as a church continue to live into that space that pioneering space of new and imaginative ways of see God Express his glory and his Wonder wherever we go so it's really cool it is it's so exciting
