Hillsong’s Brian Houston Preaches First ‘Comeback’ Sermon Since Being Fired from Church
Five months after being ousted from his role as the Global Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church, and four months after releasing an apology to everyone that he hurt, interweaving multiple instances promising he will continue to be active in the ministry in some way, repeatedly stressing that the best is yet to come, the final chapters of his life haven’t been written and that God isn’t finished with him yet, Houston is back in business. He preached a ‘comeback’ sermon at the multicampus Christian Faith Church in Seattle, WA, this weekend, where friend and Pastor Casey Treats holds sway.
As one might expect, he hasn’t become a better preacher in the 5 months he’s been off. Houston’s sermon is about the importance of having a “legacy” (a phrase he uses over 70 times) and explains that Nelson Mandela, though falsely accused and imprisoned with a reputation tarnished (like himself, wink wink), ultimately was vindicated and still left a good legacy:
Legacy is just a commitment that you’re going to live according to God’s purposes. In your life, when purpose and destiny and legacy collide, it’s like a combustible force. When we attach our life to God’s purpose, it creates a legacy. This is the most wonderful way we can live our lives, we can decide my mistakes, my failings, my failures here, my brokenness over there. The fact I got ripped off there, I was offended over there, we cannot let those things decide our legacy. But that’s not what should determine our legacy. There’s so much more than that. So when you learn to create legacy, you somehow determine in your world, how big or small it is, the world you leave behind is going to be a better place than when you arrived here to get actually possible.”
He goes on to explain that unlike a totaled car, God will never write anyone off; no matterhow banged up you get.
You’re never ever written off. When it comes to God. We’re not thinking about people. We’re not thinking about cancel culture. We’re not thinking about those. We’re thinking about what God thinks about you. You’re a legacy-creator, a history-maker, and opportunity-take, a devil-shaker, a chain-breaker.
He concludes that God’s plan is to give everyone an amazing legacy, and no matter how many mistakes you make, it’s never too late to choose to have a legacy for your future.
To recap: the whole sermon is about him. That though his former church did him dirty, he still will come out on top.
Houston is currently for a three-week trial starting this coming November, where he’s been charged with “concealing serious indictable offence of another person” after police say he concealed his father’s child sexual abuse from the 1970’s, after learning about it in 1999.

100% . He has not repented at all. Still playing victim.
Great legacy his dad left behind . Wonder what Brian’s will be.
Yes his dad left a legacy of pedophilia of young boys. Great man of God.
Exactly. Sickening
