Title: The Truth....Nothing But The Truth

Scripture: John 8:32

Passage
"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

Thoughts
Jesus is the truth that sets us free. John 8:36 tells us "So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free." He is the source of truth, the perfect standard of what is right. He frees us from slavery to sin, from self deception, and from deception by satan. He clearly shows us the way to eternal life with God. So Jesus doesn't give us freedom to do what we want, but freedom to follow God. As we seek to serve God, Jesus' perfect truth frees us to be all that God created us and called us to be. We have an urgent needed in our society right now for the contagious and uncompromising ministry of the local church. Not a body of believers stuck on cruise control or living in the past.....but those who know the needs of today's culture and those who pray, truly believe, and are passionate about sharing Christ with this generation of people! More than anything, this generation is searching for people who know the truth and will tell it just like it is. That's why I want to challenge and encourage you today to tell people around you the truth about who Jesus is. Cut to the heart of the gospel so that others can come to Jesus!
