What does it mean to truly believe in Jesus? This week's passage, John 8:31-59, paints a picture of true belief in the Christ and exposes the heart of those with a superficial belief.

For many, Jesus's claim to be "the light of the world" has become a common characteristic that we attribute to the Savior. But what does it really mean for Jesus to be this light? And why were the Pharisees in John 8:12-30 so offended by this claim?
Listen to this week's sermon to see why Jesus is rightfully the Light that the world needs.

This week, we dive into a rare text in the Bible. As we look at church history to help us understand how this text fits in to the overall story of the Bible, we come into a deeper understanding of Jesus's ability to rescue us from our sin. John 7:53-8:11 in fact shows us that Jesus can reverse our condemned status and make us right before God, our righteous Judge.

Have you ever been confused about what the character, actions and words of Jesus really are? Maybe a family member, a friend, a coworker or a teacher have said something about Jesus that doesn't match up with what's in the Bible.
John 7:25-52 exhibits the clarity that comes from looking at and learning about Jesus through Scripture and the actions of His life. Jesus gives clarity to the confused so that they can receive His salvation, believing in the True Saviour.

We are back in the gospel of John! John 7:1-24 looks at how Jesus's audience misjudged His purpose, work and nature. Join us as we uncover five misjudgments in the Jewish people's hearts about Jesus.
