Scripture: John 6:60-71

Episode Overview:

When Jesus’ words grow hard and the crowds walk away, true faith is revealed—not in excitement, but in endurance. In Nowhere Else to Go, we turn to John 6:60–71, where Peter’s simple confession—“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life”—echoes through every moment of wrestling and doubt. This sermon calls us to trust the proven goodness of Christ, even when we don’t understand His ways. Because when we’ve truly tasted His grace, nothing else satisfies.

Key Highlights:

• Faith Tested by Truth: How Jesus’ hard sayings expose whether our hearts are shaped by comfort or conviction.

• Grace That Holds: Why perseverance in faith is not about our grip on God, but His grip on us.

• When Following Costs Us: What it means to cling to Christ when excitement fades and faith feels costly.

• True Discipleship: The difference between being near Jesus and belonging to Him.

• The Invitation to Stay: Why even in confusion or doubt, there’s no life apart from Christ.

Call to Action:

When faith feels heavy and God seems silent, remember that Jesus has already proven Himself trustworthy. Keep walking with Him—not because you understand everything, but because you’ve tasted His goodness and know there’s nowhere else to go.
