The Gospel of John: My Truth vs. Your Truth

What this episode covers

This sermon explores John 8:31-59, where Jesus confronts the Jewish leaders about truth. The pastor highlights how the word "truth" appears seven times in this passage, always spoken by Jesus, who is Himself the embodiment of truth. He contrasts subjective truth ("my truth"), which changes with feelings and opinions, with God's objective, unchanging truth. The pastor warns that subjective truth is actually demonic, originating from Satan, whom Jesus calls "the father of lies" in John 8:44. The sermon connects this Biblical teaching to our current cultural moment, where many people claim their own subjective truth rather than submitting to God's absolute truth. The pastor celebrates how young people on college campuses are turning to God's truth, getting baptized, and experiencing radical transformation. He concludes by emphasizing Jesus' powerful "I AM" declaration in John 8:58, showing that Jesus is the eternal God who offers freedom through His truth.
