Speaker: Sr. Pastor Richard Parks
Scripture: John 8:21-36
Objective: This sermon emphasizes the importance of believing in Jesus Christ to achieve true freedom from sin. It begins with a passage from John 8:21-36, where Jesus tells the Jews that they will die in their sins unless they believe He is the Messiah. Jesus explains that He speaks and acts according to God's teachings and those who follow His word will know the truth, and the truth will set them free.
The pastor underscores that many people are spiritually bound by sin even though they are saved by Christ's grace. True freedom, he argues, requires acknowledging Jesus as the Son of God, who was crucified, died, was buried, and resurrected. Believing in Jesus' sacrifice and confessing it leads to eternal life.
The pastor highlights that while many seek salvation, they resist being told how to live their lives. True discipleship involves abiding in Jesus' teachings, which leads to the knowledge of truth and true freedom from the bondage of sin.
