We are all searching. Searching for peace in the pressure of life, purpose in the chaos, love that truly lasts, and hope that endures beyond the moment. We try to find it in many places — in the approval of friends, the success of our careers, the excitement of new experiences, or the comfort of possessions. Yet, no matter how much we accumulate or achieve, something still feels incomplete.The story of Christmas reminds us that while we have been searching for meaning, God has been searching for us. From the very beginning, He has been pursuing a relationship with us, longing to draw us close. And in Jesus, God stepped into our world — not from a distance, but into our messy, complicated, everyday lives.Christmas isn’t just a story from the past — it’s a living invitation to encounter the One who makes all things new.In Jesus, the search is over.Preacher:Sermon by Pete StevenFind out more at cityonahill.com.au/christmas

Jesus warns his followers to be ready for his ultimate return, where he will come back to judge all people and the righteous will inherit eternal life for serving “the least of these,” while the unfaithful face eternal separation.

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 condemned the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy, and burdening others with empty religion while neglecting justice, mercy, and faithfulness. He lamented over Jerusalem’s hardness of heart, expressing God’s love for his people.

The religious leaders challenged Jesus’ authority as he was teaching in the temple. A parable of true obedience to God and a parable of Israel’s leaders that had rejected God’s messengers, and would ultimately reject His Son.

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.
