Rejected For Jesus | How The True Church Will Never Be Popular (John 15–16)

In John 15–16, Jesus teaches that following Him will always mean rejection by the world. The world, defined as those outside the Kingdom of Heaven, first opposed Jesus through religious people—and that pattern continues today.

This message explores:
-Why the world rejects Jesus and His church
-The role of the Holy Spirit in convicting the world of sin (John 16:8)
-God’s fairness in judgment, even when questions arise (John 15:22)
-How history shows rejection of faithful believers—from the synagogue, to Luther, to Methodism

📖 Scripture: John 15–16

John 15-16: Rejected for Jesus?

Jesus Is Coming: Hope and Humility While We Wait | John 16 Sermon


In John 16, Jesus prepares His followers for His departure — and His return. In this message, “Jesus Is Coming: The Humble Waiting of the Church,” we explore how Bible prophecy often has both a first and full fulfillment, and what it means to live with humility and hope as we wait for Christ’s return.
The disciples made bold declarations of faith right before their greatest moment of failure, reminding us that confidence without understanding can lead to collapse. Yet even in their weakness, God’s plan moved forward — a truth that brings both comfort and humility for believers today.
As we look to the promise of Jesus’ return, we are called to “take heart,” knowing that He has overcome the world. The second coming isn’t just a distant event — it’s the anchor of our hope and the assurance that Jesus will make all things right.

John 16- Jesus Is Coming. Be Humble About It

The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus | John 17 | Faith On Hill Church

Description:
In this week’s message from Faith On Hill Church, we study John 17, often called The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prays for His disciples — and for us. He prays for God’s glory, our protection, and our sanctification.
As Pastor Adam teaches, Jesus’ prayer reveals His heart for His followers — that we would be united, set apart by truth, and made new through His sacrifice. We are reminded that eternal life isn’t found in religion or effort, but in knowing the one true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.

Main Scripture: John 17

Topics: Prayer, Sanctification, Glory of God, Eternal Life, Discipleship, The Word of God

Join us Sundays at 10:30 a.m.

John 18- Jesus Arrested

Jesus Crucified | John 19

Welcome to Faith on Hill Church. We gather every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. both in person on Hill Road and online at faithonhill.com. 

In this message from John chapter 19, we look at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. We consider the apathy of Pilate and the hostile rejection of the religious leaders. Pastor Adam talks about the suffering Jesus endured, and the call for every person to consider their response to him. Whether rejection happens through hostility or apathy, the invitation remains: look to Jesus and the hope he gives.

Jesus Is Alive! | John 20 
 
Join us at Faith on Hill Church as we celebrate the resurrection and victory of Jesus Christ through John 20. Pastor Adam walks us through Mary Magdalene’s encounter at the empty tomb, the disciples’ initial doubt, and the moment Thomas proclaims, “My Lord and my God.”

This message explores how the risen Jesus meets us in our doubt, calls us by name, and sends us out in faith. Whether you’ve struggled to believe, felt mislabeled by your past, or simply need to be reminded of Christ’s victory, this teaching reminds us that Jesus brings life and light to all who believe.

John 21- Jesus Meets The Need

Christmas in Isaiah | Born of a Virgin 


Today we start our 2025 Christmas study and explore Isaiah 7. 

We look at the near-term fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14 in Ahaz’s day and the ultimate fulfillment in the birth of Jesus Christ, born of a virgin in Bethlehem. This prophecy offers both warning and hope. While Ahaz’s refusal shows the consequences of rejecting God’s direction, the promise of Immanuel assures us that God is with us in every circumstance.

If you are looking for a deeper understanding of the Christmas story, biblical prophecy, or the lifelong relevance of God’s promises, this message will help your faith.

Christmas In Isaiah- Born of A Virgin

Christmas in Isaiah | For Unto Us A Child Is Born (Isaiah 9)

This week at Faith on Hill we continue our Christmas in Isaiah series by taking a look at Isaiah chapter 9. After previous chapters of warning, judgment, and gloom, Isaiah announces a future hope for humanity!

Today we talk about: 
• Why Galilee—an overlooked and unimportant region—would be honored through the ministry of Jesus
• How Isaiah connects the birth of Christ to God’s promise of peace and restoration
• What it means that Jesus meets us in places of darkness and brings light, joy, and freedom
• How the prophecy of a divine Messiah was part of the biblical story long before the New Testament

We also share updates on small groups, youth group, Thanksgiving week schedules, community outreach, and how to connect with Faith on Hill online or in person.
