Citygate Church with Eric Petree

POWER, PURPOSE & PROMOTION What if the wilderness you’re trying to escape is actually the place God is using to prepare you for what’s next? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric takes us through Luke 4 and the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus entered the wilderness full of the Holy Spirit, but after forty days of consecration, temptation, and resistance, He came out walking in the pow...

DON’T LET YOUR SEAT TALK What is your seat saying when you’re not in it? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric takes us to 1 Samuel 20, where King Saul sits down for a feast and notices something unusual: David’s seat is empty. David isn’t in the room, but somehow his empty seat is still talking. And the same can be true for us. Our presence matters. Our faithfulness matters. And being planted in...

What if you knew the clock was running out? We make excuses for how we use our time, but there is one thing none of us can ever get more of: TIME. Our days are numbered, our lives are brief, and eventually every one of us will reach a moment when the line becomes a dash. In this powerful salvation message, Pastor Eric takes us to Luke 23 and the two thieves hanging beside Jesus. Both men were runn...

What if becoming great in the Kingdom of God requires you to go lower, not higher? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric takes us to John 13, where Jesus—the most powerful person in the room—gets up from the table, takes a towel, gets on His knees, and begins washing His disciples’ feet. The world measures greatness by how high you rise. Jesus measures greatness by how low you’re willing to go. Wh...

What if the key to standing strong when life gets difficult isn’t making the right decision in the moment—but making the decision before the moment ever comes? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric uses one of the most vivid illustrations imaginable—a game of Jenga—to show us how integrity works in real life. Just like a Jenga tower rarely collapses all at once, our lives rarely fall apart because...

What if the key to the life God wants for you isn’t more talent, more opportunity, or more influence—but integrity? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric challenges us to examine whether our behavior truly matches what we say we believe. Integrity is more than honesty—it’s being whole, complete, and undivided, where who you are privately matches who you are publicly. We live in a culture that ofte...

What happens when the greatest battle you’re fighting isn’t around you—but within you? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric takes us to Galatians 5 and explores the battle between the Spirit and the flesh. Scripture tells us that these two are opposed to one another, fighting for influence over the way we think, choose, and live. When we choose Christ, our spirit comes alive—but the battle for th...

SPIRIT V FLESH What’s really controlling the way you think, choose, and live? In this powerful message, we dive into Galatians 5 and the battle happening between the Spirit and the flesh. Scripture tells us that the desires of the flesh and the desires of the Spirit are opposed to one another—but when we walk by the Spirit, we no longer have to be controlled by the desires of our flesh. Every day,...

HE CHOICE OF A NEW GENERATION What kind of faith are we handing to the next generation? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric challenges us to consider what the Church of the future will look like—and whether the faith we carry today is something the next generation will experience for themselves. Scripture warns of a generation that grew up without personally experiencing the presence of God or s...

AFTER THE GLORY What do we do with what God has done? In this powerful message, Pastor Bias takes us to Isaiah 6 and the moment Isaiah encounters the glory of God. Isaiah sees the Lord, is confronted and cleansed by His presence, is touched by the fire—and then hears the call of God to go. The encounter wasn’t the destination. It was preparation for an assignment. Revival was never meant to become...

MALTA MOMENTS What if the place you thought was a setback is actually a God-ordained stop? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric takes us to Acts 28 and the story of Paul’s shipwreck on the island of Malta. Paul was on his way to Rome, but before he reached his destination, God led him through a storm, a shipwreck, a snakebite, and an unexpected stop. Sometimes we become so focused on where God is...

GOD I WANT YOUR FIRE! What happens when the fire that once burned brightly starts to become nothing more than an ember? In this powerful message, Pastor Eric takes us to 1 Kings 18 and the moment when the fire of God fell on Elijah's altar. When the people saw the fire, they fell on their faces and declared, "The Lord, He is God!" God's desire has never been for His people to simply gather—He want...

CONNECTED | Week 3: COMMUNITY What if the greatest thing shaping your future isn't what you're doing... but who you're connected to? In Week 3 of our CONNECTED series, Pastor Eric reveals God's design for biblical community and why alignment is more important than assignment. Long before God gives us something to do, He surrounds us with the people who will help us become who He created us to be....

CONNECTED — Week 2: CAUSE | Is There Not a Cause? What if the greatest obstacle in your life isn't the giant in front of you... but forgetting why you're standing in the valley? In Week 2 of our CONNECTED series, Pastor Eric takes us to the Valley of Elah, where an entire army stood frozen in fear for forty days while one young shepherd saw something everyone else missed. David didn't defeat Golia...
