Proverbs 29:18 18 Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law. John 6:25-28 25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” 28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Romans 1:16-17 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” Galatians 2:15-16 15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; 16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

After feeding the 5,000 and walking on water, Jesus' teaching about eating His flesh and drinking His blood provokes offense and desertion among many followers. Yet Peter's bold confession—“Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life”—models wholehearted commitment. We're challenged to follow Jesus on His terms, not ours, fully surrendering every part of our lives to the true Bread from heaven.Sermon NotesIntroductionPastor Nathan situates us in the ongoing John series (running through Easter), noting the heavy travel between Galilee, Jerusalem, and beyond. Crowds have witnessed two major miracles—feeding 5,000 on the mountainside and Jesus walking on the sea—so expectations for a deliverer are high. Last week ended with Jesus' declaration, “I am the true bread that came down from heaven,” setting the stage for today's difficult teaching and its fallout.Scripture PassageJohn 6:60–71 (NLT)Main PointsHard Teaching Reveals True DisciplesJesus' call to “eat my flesh and drink my blood” shocks many into desertion, exposing shallow faith based on signs rather than the Savior Himself.Dependence on the Spirit“The Spirit alone gives life” (v63); human effort and intellect cannot bridge the gap—only divine enabling draws us to Christ.Wholehearted CommitmentPeter's confession (“Lord, to whom would we go?”) models surrender: recognizing Jesus as the sole source of life and truth, even when His demands are hard.Illustrations & StoriesMiracle Recap: Feeding the 5,000, followed by the storm-tossed crossing and Jesus walking on water.“I AM” Statements: Jesus layers heavy claims—Son of Man, heavenly origin, bread of life—to press His identity and mission.Missionary Story: William Cohen in 19th-century India resisted renouncing Christ under threat, declaring, “Though none go with me, still I will follow.” His martyrdom ignited widespread faith.ApplicationExamine Your Motives: Are you following Jesus for convenience or for His character and promises, even when “His terms” conflict with your comfort?Surrender Control: Identify areas—wealth, opinions, relationships—where you cling to “your way” rather than God's way.Embrace the Spirit's Work: Trust the Holy Spirit to equip you for the hard demands of discipleship; human striving falls short.Commit Anew: Like Peter, affirm “To whom would we go?” and resolve to follow Jesus without reserve, regardless of cost.ClosingPastor Nathan invited the congregation to respond by singing “Christ Is Enough” and the hymn “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus,” making a communal commitment to stick with Christ through every trial and teaching challenge.Resources & LinksBible Passage: John 6:60–71 (NLT)Next Steps: Reflect on where you've made Jesus a “hobby” rather than Lord; journal prayerfully about areas needing full surrender.#hillschurch #beencouraged #nathanbell #evertonhills #brisbanechurch #brisbane #wesleyanmethodistchurch #hillschurchsermon

Over the Lenten season, we spent several weeks “walking with Jesus.” It's time for a well-deserved rest, so let's take some time to sit with Jesus. Where and how can we sit with Jesus these days? In the process, we might learn a bit about who we are called to be. Today's scripture reading is John 21:1-17.

This week at New Hope, Pastor Vicki challenges us with one of the most crucial questions of all: what does it really mean to follow Jesus? We explore Mark 8:31-38, where Jesus openly shares that following Him means more than simply believing — it means denying ourselves, picking up our cross, and giving Him full authority over our lives. It's not the comfortable road many of us might imagine. Jesus doesn't promise an easy life, but a true life — one that goes against the grain of self-centeredness, pride, and worldly values. Pastor Vicki reminds us that sometimes we're tempted to reshape Jesus into a version we find more convenient, one that fits our preferences or cultural values. But the real Jesus — the suffering servant, the risen Lord — calls us to radical surrender. Following Jesus isn't a halfway commitment. It's an invitation to lose the life we think we want so that we can gain the life God has prepared for us. This week's message asks: Are we willing to surrender everything? Where do our lives need realignment with the values of Christ rather than the values of culture? Are we following fully, or halfway? Take some time to reflect, pray, and honestly wrestle with these questions below. Discussion Questions Christianity Explored: What does it mean to follow Jesus? Mark 8:31-38 What are some ways we might make Jesus into our own image? What kind of Messiah were the disciples expecting? How did Jesus differ from their expectation? How would you define self-denial as discussed in the message? What did Jesus mean by taking up your cross? How do the values of Jesus conflict with our values as Americans? What about your own personal values? Is it possible to follow Jesus half-way? Why or why not? What is the biggest irony, according to Pastor Vicki? Questions to reflect on this week: Are you willing to surrender all to follow Jesus? What needs to change in your life and thinking to be more consistent with the ways of Jesus Christ?
Theologians describe Jesus' ministry as “peripatetic” because he moved from place to place. He did not settle in Nazareth and told everyone to come to him. He walked around, visited, talked, and ate with people. In the five Sundays leading up to Palm Sunday, we will travel with Jesus from his temptation in the wilderness to meeting fishermen on the beach to eating with a tax collector in Jericho. Along the way, we will grow in our faith and faithfulness just as the disciples did as they walked with Jesus. Our scripture today is Luke 24:13-35.

Jesus (Look for Jesus) - Rev. Jonathan Imogu by Victory Inheritance Ministries
This past Sunday Jeremiah wrapped up our series in the book of Revelation by exhorting us to have faith in Christ and the promises found in His final words to the Church. We were reminded to be doers of the Word and that one day the door for repentance will close. Jeremiah gave us a final charge to be hopeful for Christ's return, and to desire more of the love our Savior wants to give us in a deeper relationship with Him.

The Wisdom of Jesus- Rev. Dr. Colleen Hurley-Bates (2.9.25) by Sermons
In the third message of our annual Rhythms series, Rev. Michael Hands challenges us to consider the power of spiritual formation. Are we being formed by Jesus, or something else? Through passages like Matthew 7 and Matthew 5, we explore how spiritual formation is not optional—it's happening all the time. By embracing intentional practices of teaching, community, and the work of the Holy Spirit, we can be shaped into the image of Christ over time, even through suffering. Join us as we reflect on the rhythms that are forming us and ask the crucial question: Who am I becoming?We pray this message encourages you as we apprentice to become more like Jesus.We'd love to hear from you!hello@church.nuwww.facebook.com/newlifegoldcoastwww.instagram.com/@newlifegoldcoast ★ Support this podcast ★

Why was Jesus baptized and why is that significant?
Pastor Vicki Harrison's sermon, "Know Jesus," from the Mission Ready series focused on moving beyond simply knowing facts about Jesus to cultivating a deep, personal relationship with Him. Using John 10 as the foundational scripture, she emphasized the difference between knowing about someone and truly knowing them. The sermon highlighted practical steps to grow in our faith, including prayer, scripture reading, and engaging in small community groups. The message challenged the congregation to take active steps toward knowing Jesus intimately and living out their faith through life transformation.

What would you do if you had the greatest news to share? Would you tell your closest friends or shout it from the rooftops? When God shared the greatest news in history, He didn't go to the rich, the powerful, or the elite—He went to the shepherds.In this message, Rev. Paul Lawler explores the powerful and surprising announcement of Jesus' birth to the outcasts of society. The shepherds, seen as unworthy by the world, are the first to hear of the Savior's arrival. Through their story, we see how the birth of Jesus transforms lives, offering hope even to the most marginalized.As the shepherds receive this message of joy and salvation, they are forever changed, becoming the first evangelists. Paul reminds us that no one is beyond God's love and grace. If God's good news could reach these outcasts, it can reach anyone.Listen now to discover how the message of the Savior's birth invites all of us—no matter our status or history—into the hope and joy of the gospel, just as the shepherds were first to experience.

The season of Advent is a time of anticipation and waiting. Advent comes from the Latin “adventus” which means “coming” or “arrival.” In Advent, we wait for the birth of the Christ child. Yet theologians talk about three advents: the birth of Jesus at Christmas, the arrival of the Holy Spirit, and the second coming of Jesus. We will explore these three advents even as we wait to celebrate the baby born in Bethlehem. Today's scripture reading is Luke 1:46-55.
