Sunday's Sermon: True Discipleship (John 8: 31-47)

John 8 reveals that 'faith' that can be something of a slippery thing. John tells us that those who 'believed' in Jesus (v30-1) very quickly afterwards were ready to kill him (v37)! And their reason is just as astounding - 'because they had no room for his word'! Clearly, there was something wrong with their 'believing'. So it's possible there may be something wrong with ours.
In this passage, Jesus helps us see what characterises genuine faith or true discipleship so that we are not deceived by own profession of supposed belief. Outline slides are below. You can listen to yesterday's sermon, or download it, from here.
