Welcome back to The Word Became Fresh, the Bible-teaching ministry of Pastor Sebastian Petz from The WORD Church LA.

In today’s episode, we open a new chapter in the Gospel of John—in chapter 7—where Jesus, once again, finds Himself misunderstood by those closest to Him.

As the Feast of Booths approaches, His own brothers mock Him, the religious leaders plot to kill Him, and the crowds whisper in confusion. But Jesus doesn’t flinch.

In this message, Pastor Sebastian unpacks how Jesus navigates hostility, rejection, and unbelief—not with fear or compromise, but with sovereign timing and quiet courage.

What does it look like to be faithful when misunderstood? And how can we stand firm when the world is watching?

Let’s listen in.

Welcome back to The Word Became Fresh, the Bible-teaching ministry of Pastor Sebastian Petz from The WORD Church LA.

In today’s episode, we continue with the second half of Jesus’ hard teaching in John 6:60–71—a passage where many disciples turn back and no longer walk with Him.

Pastor Sebastian unpacks the sobering reality behind spiritual deconstruction: that it’s often not about seeking truth, but rejecting it. You’ll hear how Jesus exposes unbelief, reinforces divine sovereignty, and ultimately presses His disciples to answer a haunting question:
"Will you go away, too?"

Let’s dive in and discover why, even when the words of Jesus offend the world, they remain the only words that give life.

We’re nearing the end of the Bread of Life discourse in John 6—a turning point moment where many walk away from Jesus.
In today’s message, Pastor Sebastian walks us through verses 60–71, where the crowds grumble, the disciples wrestle, and Jesus makes one of His most soul-searching statements:
"Do you want to go away as well?"
Tune in as we explore what separates true disciples from temporary followers, and how Jesus alone holds the words of eternal life.

In this episode, we continue in John 6:49–59, where Jesus makes one of His most provocative claims yet: that eternal life comes through feeding on His flesh and drinking His blood. What does He mean? And why did this offend so many of His followers?

Pastor Sebastian takes us deep into the theological and Old Testament background of this statement, showing that far from being mystical or metaphorical, Jesus is confronting the crowds—and us—with the cost of true discipleship and the centrality of His cross.
