From Death To Life: Why This Sunday Matters

Hey Guys,

There are some passages of Scripture that shake the soul. John 5:19–24 is one of them.
In these few verses, Jesus speaks with unmistakable authority—not as a teacher of truth, but as the source of truth. Not as a prophet pointing to life, but as the giver of life itself. And not as a witness to judgment, but as the righteous Judge of all mankind.

That’s why this Sunday at New Hope Baptist Church, I’ll be preaching a message titled: “From Death to Life.”

We’ll walk through Jesus’ bold declaration that He is one with the Father… that He raises the dead… that He executes judgment… and that He alone gives eternal life to all who believe. In a world of blurred lines and religious confusion, this passage speaks with crystal clarity: your eternity hinges on your response to Jesus Christ.

Here’s what we’ll discover:

• That Jesus is perfectly united with the Father—not a lesser god, not a sidekick, but the eternal Son, equal in glory and purpose.
• That He holds the divine prerogative to give life to the dead and judge every soul.
• That honoring the Son is not optional—it is the only way to truly honor the Father.
• That those who hear His word and believe are not waiting for eternal life… they already have it.

That’s not just good news—it’s life-changing news. It’s the kind of truth that calls believers to renewed worship, repentance, and service. And it’s the kind of message that calls the lost to salvation—not next week, not when life calms down—but today.
If you’ve been drifting in your walk with Christ, this message is for you.
If you’ve grown cold in worship, this message is for you.
If you’re not sure where you stand with God, this message is most definitely for you.

? Join us this Sunday at 11:00 am at New Hope Baptist Church 132 New Hope Rd. Dyer, Tn 38330.

?️ Come ready to hear, to believe, and—Lord willing—to pass from death to life.
Your eternity matters. Let’s look to the Son together.

Serving Him,
Pastor Joey Hufstedler
