Why Self-Reliance Won’t Save You | Good News: Week One | Sofia Thomas

Waymaker.Church

In this message from our Good News series, we wrestle with one of the most challenging truths of the Gospel: we were never meant to provide for ourselves.

Drawing from Exodus 16 and John 6, we explore how Jesus redefines provision — not with temporary fixes or self-sufficiency, but with His own body and blood. In a culture obsessed with independence and personal strength, this message confronts the idols of pride, fear, and self-made success.

🔑 Key Verse: “Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.” – Exodus 16:12
🕊️ Discover why Jesus’ invitation to “eat His flesh and drink His blood” is not just symbolic — it's the call to live in full dependence on Him.

Whether you're burnt out from trying to hold it all together or simply searching for something more real, this sermon reminds us: it’s Good News that we don’t have to save ourselves.
