    The Gospel Was Never Meant to Stay With You | Cole Ellerbrock | Tomball

    Have you ever wondered if your faith was meant for more than just your own personal growth? Jesus never intended the gospel to become something we collect and keep to ourselves. He calls ordinary people to carry extraordinary hope into everyday life. In this message from Luke 10, Pastor Cole Ellerbrock explores what it means to live as a witness for Christ. You'll discover why Jesus sends His followers into the world, how He equips them for that mission, and why sharing your faith isn't about having all the answers—it's about telling others what God has done in your life. * Jesus calls every believer to be a witness, not just pastors or ministry leaders. * The motivation for sharing the gospel is God's love and compassion for people who need hope. * Your everyday relationships, conversations, and routines are opportunities to live with purpose and point others to Jesus. **Key Scriptures:** * Luke 10:1–20 * Luke 9:51 * Acts 1:8 * John 1 * Matthew 4 * Matthew 9:35–38 * Matthew 28:18–20 * Ephesians 1 * 2 Timothy 1:7 * Isaiah 26:8 If this message encouraged or challenged you, take a moment to ask God who He's calling you to be a witness to this week. Share this sermon with a friend or family member who could use this reminder, and we'd love to welcome you to Bayou City Fellowship if you're looking for a church home.

    What If More People Are Ready for God Than You Think? | Kevin Barra | Spring Branch

    Have you ever assumed that sharing your faith is someone else's job? Jesus tells a very different story—one where ordinary people are sent into everyday places to make an eternal difference. In Luke 10, Jesus sends out seventy-two ordinary followers and reminds them that the greatest obstacle isn't a lack of people searching for hope—it's a lack of people willing to go. This message explores how prayer changes our perspective, why ministry isn't reserved for professionals, and how to faithfully represent Jesus wherever God has placed you. In this message, you'll discover: Why Jesus believes the harvest is plentiful—and what that means for your everyday life. How to prepare for both encouragement and rejection while living on mission. Why your greatest joy should never be ministry success, but belonging to Christ. Key Scriptures: Luke 10:1–24 Isaiah 14 Wherever God has placed you, He has given you opportunities to represent Him. Ask Him to shape your perspective, take a faithful next step, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement. If you're looking for a church home, we'd love to welcome you at Bayou City Fellowship. Bayou City Fellowship Spring Branch Campus | Kevin Barra | June 28, 2026 https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship

    What If Your Faith Was Never Meant to Stay Private? | George Terry | Cypress

    Following Jesus was never meant to stop with believing - it always leads to being sent. In this message from Luke 10, discover why Jesus commissioned ordinary people to carry His message and what that means for every believer today. Whether you've followed Jesus for years or you're simply curious about what Christianity is really about, this sermon explores God's heart for the world, the hope found in Christ, and why the greatest mission in history still continues today. Watch to see how God's calling isn't reserved for a select few, but for everyone who knows Him. Jesus calls ordinary believers - not just church leaders - to participate in His mission. Our motivation for sharing the gospel is not duty or recognition, but the joy of knowing Christ and His saving grace. God invites His people to trust His provision, pray for the nations, and faithfully proclaim His kingdom wherever He sends them. Key Scriptures: Luke 10:1–24 Luke 9 Luke 22 2 Corinthians 4 (referenced) Take time to ask God how He is calling you to respond - whether that's praying, serving, sharing your faith, or considering how you can be part of His mission. If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and we'd love to welcome you to Bayou City Fellowship. Bayou City Fellowship | Cypress | George Terry | June 28, 2026

  4. Why Following Jesus Is Always Worth It | Tom Douthit | Cypress

    Why Following Jesus Is Always Worth It | Tom Douthit | Cypress

    Following Jesus isn't just about believing the right things. It's about trusting Him enough to follow wherever He leads, even when it costs you comfort, security, or your own plans. In Luke 9:51-62, Jesus gives some of His most challenging words about discipleship. Tom Douthit explores what those words reveal about Jesus' heart, why He calls us to wholehearted devotion, and how remembering that "here is not home" changes the way we live today. If you've ever wondered what it really means to follow Jesus, this message offers both encouragement and challenge. • Jesus calls us to follow Him with wholehearted commitment, not divided priorities. • A life centered on God's kingdom is worth more than comfort, security, or personal gain. • Keeping our eyes on Jesus helps us live with eternity in view and faithfully follow Him every day. Key Scriptures: Luke 9:51-62 Isaiah 50:7 Hebrews 12:2 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 This week, ask God to reveal any place where you've been saying "but first" instead of "yes, Lord." Take one step of obedience toward Him and remember that following Jesus is always worth it. If this message encouraged you, share it with a friend or family member who could use this reminder.

    Following Jesus Without Conditions | A.K. Kuruvilla | Spring Branch

    Many people want the benefits of following Jesus without the sacrifice that comes with it. In Luke 9:51-62, Jesus challenges that mindset and calls His followers to a deeper commitment. As He resolutely journeys toward the cross, He reminds us that discipleship requires surrender, obedience, and a willingness to put Him above comfort, convenience, and personal plans. • Jesus set His face toward Jerusalem, showing unwavering commitment to God's mission despite the suffering that awaited Him. • Following Jesus often means embracing discomfort, sacrifice, and trusting Him above earthly security and comfort. • True discipleship requires immediate obedience, wholehearted commitment, and refusing to let anything compete with Christ for first place. Key Scriptures: Luke 9:51-62 Luke 6:27-28 1 John 2:3 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 What is the "let me first" area in your life? Is there something delaying your obedience to Jesus or competing for your devotion? Ask God to reveal your next step of faith and trust Him enough to take it. If this message encouraged or challenged you, share it with a friend or family member and invite them to explore what it truly means to follow Jesus. Bayou City Fellowship Spring Branch Campus | A.K.

  6. How to KEEP Following Jesus | Cole Ellerbrock | Tomball

    How to KEEP Following Jesus | Cole Ellerbrock | Tomball

    Following Jesus isn't just a decision. It's a daily surrender. In Luke 9:51-62, Jesus makes it clear that discipleship comes with a cost. He calls His followers to stop looking back, keep their eyes fixed on Him, and trust that what He offers is greater than anything they leave behind. This message explores what it means to follow Jesus wholeheartedly and why He is always worth the cost. • Jesus set His face toward Jerusalem and the cross, giving us the ultimate example of faithfulness and obedience. • Disciples must resist the temptation to turn back and keep their eyes fixed on Christ through every challenge. • Following Jesus requires immediate surrender, trusting that His way leads to true life, freedom, and rest. Key Scriptures: Luke 9:51-62 Isaiah 50:7 Philippians 3:13-14 Romans 6:4 What is the next step of obedience Jesus is calling you to take? Don't delay. Take one step toward Him today and trust Him with the rest. If this message encouraged or challenged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs the reminder to keep their eyes on Jesus.

  7. Good Intentions Aren’t Enough | Kevin Barra | Spring Branch

    Good Intentions Aren’t Enough | Kevin Barra | Spring Branch

    In Luke 9, the disciples experience both success and failure as they follow Jesus. But in this passage, Jesus exposes something deeper than a lack of skill or effort. He confronts their overconfidence, their confusion about His mission, their self-importance, and their tendency to divide people into insiders and outsiders. Through these moments, Jesus reshapes what it means to follow Him. Faith is not self-confidence but dependence on God. Greatness is not status but humility. Ministry is not about personal success but self-sacrificial service. And the kingdom of God is not a closed group but an open work of God advancing through unexpected people. • Faith-filled dependence replaces overconfidence in our own ability • True discipleship is marked by self-sacrificial service, not personal success • Greatness in the kingdom is defined by humility and honoring the least • God’s work is not limited to our group, identity, or control Key Scriptures: Luke 9:37-50 Matthew 17:19-20 Romans 12:1 Philippians 2:5-8 Following Jesus reshapes how we see ourselves, others, and success. The challenge is not just to learn from the disciples’ mistakes but to allow Christ to form our character in faith, humility, and love. If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs to be reminded that failure is not final and Jesus is still forming His people.

  8. The Secret to True Greatness | Cole Ellerbrock | Tomball

    The Secret to True Greatness | Cole Ellerbrock | Tomball

    What does it really mean to live a great life? The world tells us greatness comes through success, recognition, influence, and achievement. But in Luke 9, Jesus completely redefines what greatness looks like. Instead of climbing higher, Jesus calls His followers to humility, dependence on Him, and a life of serving others. In this message, discover why the greatest life isn't found by pursuing status, but by following the One who willingly came down to lift us up. • Jesus is the only true source of greatness, and real strength begins with complete dependence on Him. • The path to greatness is humility. Jesus modeled it through His life, His service, and ultimately through the cross. • A truly great life is measured by love, servant-heartedness, and pointing people to Christ rather than ourselves. Key Scriptures: Luke 9:37-50 Matthew 17:19-20 Mark 9:29 Philippians 2:5-11 As you go through this week, ask yourself: Where is Jesus inviting me to take a step down in humility so I can better serve others? Pray, "Lord Jesus, God of kneeling love, overcome my ego and help me to serve." If this message encouraged you, share it with a friend or family member who needs this reminder, and don't forget to subscribe for more biblical teaching each week.
