About Citygate Church Podcast

Citygate Church Podcast is a feed of live Sunday messages with a distinctly charismatic Christian pulse. The format is simple: a recorded church service message, usually moving from scripture into exhortation, prayer, and response. Recent episodes are anchored in the book of Joshua. That gives the show a strong vocabulary of victory, crossing over, standing firm, taking ground, and refusing to quit. Ps Julian Melfi appears repeatedly in its episodes, teaching Joshua as both biblical history and a pattern for present-day faith. His messages are animated and insistent. Jericho becomes a lesson about walls of containment. The Jordan becomes an image of stepping fully into transformation. Rahab, the accursed things, and Israel’s battles become prompts for obedience, courage, and spiritual seriousness. The preaching often broadens from personal victory to family, church, and community responsibility. It can be forceful on social and moral questions, including traditional teaching on marriage and gender. Dr Dave Martin’s episodes add a different cadence, mixing humor, repetition, and motivational promise around abundant life. Ps Richard Perinchief brings testimony, calling, and the idea of believers influencing others toward God. Across its episodes, the show assumes an active spiritual world. The Holy Spirit is invoked as present power, not background doctrine. The devil, strongholds, religious containment, and supernatural breakthrough are all part of the language. The service atmosphere matters too. Listeners hear call-and-response, direct address to people in the room, references to overflow and online audiences, and invitations to raise hands or pray. That gives the podcast the feel of being inside the auditorium rather than hearing a studio lesson. It is best for Christians who want preaching with movement, certainty, and practical challenge. It is less suited to listeners seeking neutral religious history or detached Bible scholarship.

Made for: For charismatic and Pentecostal Christians who want energetic Sunday preaching, biblical application, and direct calls to faith. It also suits listeners drawn to Joshua-themed teaching on courage, obedience, family, and spiritual breakthrough.

What sets it apart: The show’s strength is its live-room intensity: scripture teaching, congregational response, prayer-response urgency, humor, and supernatural expectation all stay in the recording. Recent episodes form a sustained Joshua arc rather than isolated standalone talks.

In their own words

Inspiring Sunday messages that give practical Biblical wisdom for everyday life.

Fighting for What Really Matters | Ps Julian MelfiApr 16, 2026

A Joshua sermon urges listeners to fight for their families and take up others' battles.

In the twelfth week of a Joshua series, the speaker returns to the charge to be strong and courageous. Joshua 10 gives him a way to talk about fighting battles for other people, with family as the first place to begin.

Shout for God has Given us the City | Ps. Julian MelfiMar 4, 2026

A Jericho sermon calls the congregation to answer walls of containment with a shout of faith.

The preacher takes the closed gates of Jericho in Joshua 6 as an image for the walls that can contain people, families and communities. He connects those walls to restricted thinking and a loss of faith, joy and expectation.

Being a Difference Maker | Ps Richard PerinchiefFeb 25, 2026

An insurance agent's doubts open a sermon about helping others turn toward God.

The speaker recalls working as an insurance agent when he felt called to carry the gospel to other nations. He told God he had no money, was not a preacher and knew no one there. Then he wondered whether God was looking for a volunteer.

Joshua part 7 - Standing Firm on the Promises of GodFeb 18, 2026

Joshua 4 leads to a warm invitation to speak about steady faith.

Joshua 4 gives this live Sunday sermon its starting point. The preacher lingers on "completely crossed over," urging the congregation to move forward without carrying regrets and worries. He then turns to testimony.

Filled with the Holy Spirit, part 2 | Ps Julian MelfiJun 18, 2025

A joke about fitness and a repeated prayer support a call to seek the Holy Spirit.

The speaker asks the congregation to seek the Holy Spirit's filling with hunger and intention. He invites them to pray, "fill me Holy Spirit," then tells a story about the boys laughing when he ran across a road.
