You're Not On Your Own

Message Notes

Look Back

In what way did you energize and deepen your faith by engaging with your “One” this week?

Look Up

Read Matthew 28:19-20

  1. What was Jesus' final promise to His disciples in Matthew 28:20? How might this have impacted their lives?

Read Matthew 1:23

  1. What does Matthew 1:23 tell us about Jesus and His ability to fulfill the promise He made in Matthew 28:20?

Read John 14:15-18

  1. What do these verses say about how Jesus fulfills the promise He made in Matthew 28:20?
  2. How are Jesus’ promises in these verses similar to and different from His promise in Matthew 28:20?

Read John 14:11-12

  1. What does it mean to “do the works that I (Jesus) have been doing? How comfortable are you with this command?
  2. Why did Jesus say He was “going to the Father” and how does this enable us to “do even greater things”?

Overall (Discovery Bible Study)

  • What do these scriptures say about God?
  • What do they say about people?
  • How will I apply this to my life?

Look Ahead

How has God impacted you? Who do you need to tell about that impact?

Notes

Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to counsel us and to encourage us to go and make disciples. Disciple-making isn’t complicated, we simply need to invite people into what we are already doing. Most people say God is with them, but function like they are on their own. Jesus does not call us to carry it alone. When the lifting gets heavier, know that you’re not alone. That you have a partner who will empower you to do greater things when you feel you have reached your limit.
Overview

The Holy Spirit acts as a "spiritual spotter," ensuring we never have to carry the mission of making disciples or life's burdens alone, as Jesus' presence is always with us.

Is Gear Essential?
Pastor Jacob Netherton exploring the core essentials of the Christian faith by using a basketball metaphor to illustrate that genuine spiritual growth is about internal development and active discipleship rather than external appearances (23:02 - 25:22). He emphasizes the Great Commission from Matthew 28:19—the mandate to "go make disciples"—and redefines it as a call for every believer to be present and helpful to those around them, rather than a specialized task (28:27 - 29:19).

Navigating Grief
Lead pastor Robbie uses this difficult occasion to address the universal experience of grief, grounding the conversation in the biblical story of John 11 where Jesus weeps for Lazarus (29:05-33:53), illustrating that God is present and compassionate during times of loss. The message features poignant pre-recorded reflections from Todd Fer himself, who shares his faith, his reliance on Jesus, and his hope that God would be glorified through his cancer journey (35:46-45:17).

Essentials
In this week's message from Salty Church's Essentials sermon series, Pastor Robbie digs into the outward steps of the Christian journey — what does it actually look like to live out your faith in the open? Anchored in Proverbs 3:5–6 ("Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding") and Acts 2, the message unpacks repentance and baptism as essential milestones on the path from here to eternity, explaining how baptism is far more than a ritual — it's a public declaration of faith, a death to the old life, and a resurrection into the new.
