Ephesians 4:16 (NIV) paints a powerful picture of the Church as a living, breathing body—held together by Christ and built up in love as each one plays their part. At Hillsong, we believe everyone has a place and a purpose. There’s no such thing as sitting on the sidelines in the Kingdom of God. You were created to contribute—your gifts, your heart, your worship—it all matters. Romans 12:4–8 reminds us that we’re uniquely gifted, and 2 Samuel 24:24 challenges us to bring an offering that costs us something—real contribution is always personal and poured out. But we also know this: apart from Jesus, it’s all in vain. John 15:5 reminds us that He is the vine, and we are the branches—everything we do flows from Him. So as we grow together, let’s be a Church that loves deeply, serves boldly, and builds the body through every act of faithfulness, because all contribute.

Jesus and The Widow Of Nain - Anneli Humer
The message is a heartfelt and inspiring sermon focused on the compassion, power, and presence of Jesus, reflecting on the transformative story in Luke 7, where Jesus raises a widow’s son from the dead, emphasizing how Jesus sees us in our pain, is moved with deep compassion, and has authority over death itself. Through personal stories and biblical insights, the message highlights how Jesus doesn't just offer miracles but also sustains us through our suffering. It calls listeners to respond in three ways: to "rise up" and make Jesus Lord, to "sit up" and live differently as temples of the Holy Spirit, and to "speak up" by sharing the good news boldly. Ultimately, the sermon centers on the unchanging love and compassion of Jesus, urging everyone to receive new life through Him.
