Mocked, betrayed and wrongly accused. Judas feels the weight of his guilt and betrayal of Jesus. Peter denies following Jesus. Ultimately, Jesus is delivered over to Pilate to face the punishment we all deserved.

At The Last Supper Jesus instituted the covenant meal with his disciples, prayed in deep anguish at Gethsemane at what he was about to suffer on the cross, and was ultimately betrayed, arrested, and abandoned by his disciples.

Jesus leaves the temple and tells of the destruction that is to come and warns his disciples of coming trials, false messiahs, persecution, and great tribulation, urging them to stay alert and endure to the end until his glorious return.

Jesus leaves the temple and tells of the destruction that is to come and warns his disciples of coming trials, false messiahs, persecution, and great tribulation, urging them to stay alert and endure to the end until his glorious return.

A triumphant entry and the turning of tables. Jesus returns to Jerusalem riding on a donkey, before entering the temple and driving out the sellers who had turned a place of worship into a marketplace.

In a culture where LGBTQ+ people are affirmed and celebrated, the church often seems critical and judgmental. What does the Bible say on these issues and to people wrestling with their identity? How should Christians live out these truths in their communities today?

The roles and responsibilities of women and men in the church have been the source of much debate and controversy since the early church – so what does the Bible really say about it all? What do we know about God’s design for men and women in ministry, and how do we live that out here at City on a Hill?

How should we read the ancient text of the Bible in light of our ever-expanding scientific knowledge? Does evolution contradict the Bible, or just help us understand it better?

Many people around us are going pretty well in life; they’re kind, they help others, they are successful and have purpose – so why (and how) do you share the good news of Jesus with people when they seem to be doing fine without it?

Jesus claimed to be ‘the way, the truth and the life’ – but isn’t that arrogant? Aren’t all religions basically the same – a different path to the same destination, shaped by the perspectives of the particular time and culture we live in? Or is it possible that we’re wrong? How do we assess all of these truth claims?

In a noisy and distracted age, how do we recognise the word of God – and how do I know if what I’m ‘hearing’ is the word of God, or just the voice of my own heart?

Jesus declares, “Whoever would be great among you must be your servant… even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve”. Jesus is the greatest — not in the way the world recognises, but in the way heaven does.

A sermon in the Greatness series.

Jesus calls those who follow Him to sacrifice, lay their lives down, and loosen their grip on the treasures in this world. We cannot enter the kingdom with our earthly riches, but instead trust in the eternal riches gifted to us in Jesus.

Jesus compares the greatest in the kingdom to the children who come to Him with curiosity and faith. Those who seem powerless, weak and unimportant and deemed great and worthy of the kingdom of heaven because of Jesus’ power made perfect in their weakness.

The Transfiguration becomes a divine spotlight on who Jesus truly is: “This is my beloved Son… listen to him.” The truth of Jesus’ divinity is revealed to the disciples, as they marvel at his glory and authority given to Him by the Father.

Peter confesses His love and devotion to Jesus - not just in action but in his heart. Peter is confronted by his fear of Jesus’ foretold suffering. Jesus rebukes him - pointing to His suffering as the path he must take to put an end to sin and death for eternity.
