    “To Whom Shall We Go?” | Staying With Jesus When His Words Are Hard | John 6:60–71

    In John 6, many people who once followed Jesus began walking away when His teaching became difficult. But in the middle of that moment, Peter asks one of the greatest questions in all of Scripture:“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”This sermon explores the difference between shallow faith and genuine discipleship, the danger of following Jesus only for what He gives, and why true believers continue clinging to Christ even when His words are hard.📖 Passage: John 6:60–71Topics covered:• Why crowds walked away from Jesus• “They wanted the provision — but not the Provider”• True faith vs superficial faith• The Bread of Life discourse• Why salvation is ultimately a work of grace• Peter’s confession: “To whom shall we go?”• Enduring faith in a compromising culture“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” — John 6:68 “To Whom Shall We Go?” | Staying With Jesus When His Words Are Hard | John 6:60–71 Preached May 10, 2026George Dunn#John6 #ExpositoryPreaching #ChristianSermon #BiblePreaching #JesusChrist #Gospel #Faith #Discipleship #ReformedTheology

    A Battle We Were Never Meant to Win — 1 Samuel 17:8–11; Romans 7:14–25

    When we think about David and Goliath, we often hear messages about courage, facing our giants, and stepping out in faith. But what if that’s not the main point?In this sermon, we slow down and take a closer look at 1 Samuel 17 and Romans 7 to uncover a deeper truth: this is not ultimately a story about what we can do—but about what we cannot do.Israel stood powerless before an enemy they could not defeat. And in the same way, we face a battle against sin that we cannot win in our own strength. But God did not leave us there.Through a representative, victory was won.This message traces the pattern from David to Christ and shows how the struggle described in Romans 7 is not a sign of defeat—but evidence of a battle taking place in a heart that has been made alive.In this sermon, you’ll see:* Why David and Goliath is not primarily about “being brave”* How Scripture presents salvation through a representative* Why believers still struggle with sin* The difference between regret and true repentance* What it means to fight sin—not for victory, but from victoryWe are active in the fight—but never independent. Our dependence is the means by which God works His victory in us.⸻Scripture References:* 1 Samuel 17:8–11* Romans 7:14–25* Romans 8:1–2, 13* Titus 2:11–14* Colossians 2:13–15* Hebrews 12:1–2A Battle We Were Never Meant to Win1 Samuel 17:8–11; Romans 7:14–25Preached May 3, 2026George Dunn

    Week 7: Sharing the Hope Within Us

    Week 7 concludes our series by bringing everything together and answering a practical question: How do we actually share Christ with others? Using Colossians 4:2–6, we explore four key elements of faithful evangelism: prayer before conversation, wisdom in conduct, gracious speech, and the simplicity of the gospel. Along the way, we revisit the truths we have studied throughout this series—from the trustworthiness of Scripture and the existence of God to the death and resurrection of Christ, salvation by grace, and the call to respond in faith. Sharing Christ does not require a perfect presentation or all the answers. It requires a willing heart, a clear message, and trust in God. As Paul reminds us, God opens doors, God works in hearts, and God uses ordinary people to proclaim the extraordinary good news of Jesus Christ. Scripture: Colossians 4:2–6 Series: Always Be Ready Topic: Evangelism, Apologetics, Gospel Witness

    Week 6 — Why Salvation Is by Grace (Ephesians 2:1–10)

    In this study, we walk through one of the clearest passages in Scripture on salvation. Paul shows us that apart from Christ, we were not just struggling—we were spiritually dead. But then come two of the most hope-filled words in the Bible: “But God…” We’ll explore what it means to be saved by grace through faith, why salvation cannot be earned, and how God not only forgives—but transforms. This lesson highlights the beauty of grace, removes all boasting, and points us to the reality that our salvation begins with God and results in a new life lived for His purposes.

    The Supremacy of Christ In All Things — Colossians 1 15–20 – 1 18 26

    In this message from Colossians 1:15–20, we behold the absolute supremacy of Jesus Christ in all things. He is the image of the invisible God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, the head of the church, the firstborn from the dead, and the only one through whom sinners can be reconciled to God. This sermon calls us not to merely add Christ to our lives, but to reorder our lives around Him. When Christ is truly in His rightful place, everything else begins to make sense. In this message, we are challenged to consider: • Is Christ central in my life, or have I pushed Him to the side? • Does He have first place in my priorities, decisions, and worship? • Am I trusting in Christ alone, or subtly adding other things in His place? Colossians 1:15–20 reminds us that Jesus is not one part of the picture. He is supreme over creation, supreme over the church, and fully sufficient for our redemption.

    The King We Needed, Not the King We Expected | Mark 11:1–11

    Jesus entered Jerusalem in full view—yet most people still missed who He truly is. In this teaching on the triumphal entry (Mark 11:1–11), we see a King who comes in humility, not power… in peace, not force… and with a mission far deeper than anyone expected. This message will help you: • Trust Jesus when life feels uncertain • Follow Him in humility, not self-promotion • Worship Him beyond your expectations Because the question isn’t just who Jesus is— It’s whether we will truly follow Him as He is.

    Part 2: The Wisdom of the Cross — God’s Power in What the World Calls Foolishness (1 Corinthians 1:26–31)

    In Part 2 of this Bible study through 1 Corinthians 1:26–31, we see that God not only saves through what the world calls foolishness—the cross—but also calls and uses the kind of people the world often overlooks. Paul reminds the Corinthians that not many were wise, powerful, or of noble birth, yet God chose the foolish, weak, and lowly to shame the strong and wise, so that no one may boast in His presence. In this study, we look at what it means that Christ has become for us wisdom from God—our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption—and why the only proper response is to boast in the Lord. True wisdom is humble dependence, and true boasting is worship.

    Part 1: The Message of the Cross (1 Corinthians 1:18–25)

    In this first session of The Wisdom of the Cross, we walk through 1 Corinthians 1:18–25 and explore why Paul says the message of the cross is foolishness to some, but the power of God to those who are being saved. We look at how the cross becomes the great dividing line of humanity, why it confronts human pride, and how God reveals His wisdom through what the world calls weakness. This live Bible study was taught at Pleasant View Community Church and includes real interaction and discussion from those in attendance.
