This week we talk about why Israel stopped fighting for better things and instead turned to sin and apathy. We'll also talk about cultural norms vs Biblical commands and how that works out in the Christian's life.

This teaching unpacks how the Holy Spirit lives with us and in us, empowers believers (John 14:17; Acts 1–2), and brings the peace Jesus promised.

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

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.

Scripture: John 16

Themes: Hope, Humility, Prophecy, Second Coming, Faith in Waiting

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
