Podcasts about John 8

In this second meditation in our Lent series, I AM: A Lenten Journey with Jesus, we slow down with Jesus’s words in John 8:12:“I am the light of the world.” Jesus makes this declaration during the Feast of Tabernacles, a celebration that remembered how God guided His people through the wilderness with a pillar of fire—a visible light in the darkness. When Jesus speaks these words, He is doing more than offering comfort or guidance. He is revealing who He is: the very presence of God, now shining with and among His people. Light is something we often don’t notice until it’s missing. When life feels confusing, when the path ahead is unclear, or when the weight of the world feels heavy, darkness can feel overwhelming. Jesus’s words meet us right here—not as a distant light shining from above, but as a light who walks with us and leads us toward life. This guided Scripture meditation invites you to reflect on Jesus’s words in two ways. First, you’ll be guided to notice areas in your own life that may feel hidden, uncertain, or shadowed. Then, you’ll turn your attention outward, holding the places in our world where it feels like darkness is winning and listening for the hope Jesus offers there as well. Through several slow readings of John 8:12, you will be guided to listen, reflect, respond, and rest—allowing the truth of Jesus as the Light of the World to shape how you see your life and the world around you. Lent reminds us that we do not have to figure everything out on our own. We are invited to follow the Light, one faithful step at a time.

In this episode, we explore the profound ways Jesus models humility, wisdom, and mercy in the controversial story of the woman caught in adultery. Discover how His approach teaches us to navigate sin, judgment, and grace with grace ourselves.

Ever been in a verbal debate that goes from exchanging arguments to personal attack? In today's text, the religious leaders argue with Jesus over claims He makes about Himself & them. So, how does Jesus respond to their vitriol? What does Jesus say to rile them up?

Nathan Walter15th February 2026John 8-12 Series

Almost everyone has an opinion on who Jesus is. Some say he was a brilliant teacher, a great prophet, or an ethical role model. The only problem with these ideas is that Jesus never claimed to be any of those things; instead, he insisted - repeatedly - that he is God. Few people accepted his bold claim - that he was the one true God in flesh - was offensive, and some accepted it, while others turned back and no longer followed him. (John 6:66) All month long in February, The Story Church will explore the audacious claims that Jesus made about himself in His own words. These controversial statements will leave us with two choices: to take him at his word and accept he is God, or to reject his divine identity and dismiss him as a fraud.

Two simple words shape so much of our lives: “I am.”“I am alone.” “I am ashamed.” “I am anxious.”These phrases don't just describe how we feel—they begin to define who we believe we are. But what if the most important “I am” in your life isn't yours?In John 8:58, Jesus didn't offer a metaphor—he revealed his identity. He claimed the very name and glory of God. This wasn't symbolism. It was a declaration that he is the eternal Lord who saves. Because of who he is, we are invited to surrender fully to him—no longer defined by self-imposed labels, but by the truth of the great I am.

Send us a textPride often disguises itself as certainty — but it quietly keeps us stuck.In this message, Senior Pastor Reid Robinette teaches from John 8, showing how refusing to admit we're wrong prevents us from experiencing truth and freedom. Jesus invites us out of self-justification and into humility — because freedom begins when pride ends.This message will challenge you to examine where pride may be shaping your excuses — and to respond to Jesus with honesty and trust.

How often have you heard this phrase, the truth will set you free? People tend to ascribe their own “truth” to this phrase. Oftentimes, the very thing we believe is freeing is actually spiritually enslaving. Today, we examine the origin of this phrase and the context in which Jesus used it. Gospel truths and implications for our lives abound in this passage today!

Sermon text comes from Isaiah 60:1-3 and Revelation 21:22-27, with a focus on John 8:12.

We live in a culture obsessed with condemnation, where one mistake can become a permanent identity and where social media turns us all into stone-throwers. Yet the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8 reveals something revolutionary about the character of Jesus: he is both perfectly just and perfectly merciful. When religious leaders drag a woman before Jesus, hoping to trap him with an impossible choice between mercy and the law, Jesus does something unexpected. He bends down and writes in the dust, then speaks words that expose everyone's hypocrisy: 'Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone.' One by one, the accusers drop their stones and walk away. What follows is even more stunning—Jesus tells the woman, 'Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.' This isn't cheap grace that excuses sin, nor is it harsh judgment that destroys the sinner. It's transformative grace that both acknowledges the reality of our brokenness and offers us a completely new future. The passage challenges us to ask: Where are we ready to condemn others while overlooking our own failures? And can we truly receive the mercy Jesus offers—not as something we earn by cleaning up our lives first, but as the very power that enables us to change? Grace doesn't say 'be perfect, then I'll love you.' Grace says 'you are loved, now you can become whole.'

Nearly everyone would agree that there is darkness in the world. We are constantly surrounded by this reality in the news, social media, school, work, etc. Where do we turn to in a world full of darkness? Our passage today reminds us that Jesus is our one and only light!

Steve Smith :: Creekside Church :: Sunday, January 25, 2026 Some say the best defense is a good offense, and Jesus demonstrated this in John 8:48-59, where He defended His identity while denouncing His enemies.

Jesus is the Light of the World, and the darkness has tried to shut him out. It can't.

Are you forgiven? Do you forgive? If there is something I can guarantee, you will sin and someone will sin against you. That's why we talk about forgiveness a lot. Jesus is all about forgiveness. God gives us grace and we receive forgiveness. Sometimes hard to receive forgiveness, maybe it's even harder to forgive someone else. God gives us the grace to forgive as we have been forgiven. We forgive because God first forgave us.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, January 18, 2026, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

From the Dawson Family of Faith, Dr. David Eldridge, Senior Pastor, shared a sermon titled I Am The Light Of The World from John8:12–20. Visit dawsonchurch.org from more information about the ministries at Dawson.

If you default to one or the other, is it grace or truth? These defaults can show up in our marriages, parenting tactics, politics, and generally how we view ourselves and the world around us. Where does God default, or does He? The passage we are unpacking today beautifully shows us that God is a God of grace & truth. Let's let this truth sink in today!

Preacher: Sam Powers John 8:12 Special Guest: Sam Powers.

Context of the declaration A.  Treasury area of the Temple B.  Time of the Feast of Tabernacles  C.  Ceremonial lighting of the Candelabras  2.   Claims that go with the declaration A.  Identifying as the Messiah   B.  Identifying as coming from Heaven C.  Identifying as God  3.   Call to follow  A.  Lead you out of darkness B.  Lead you to do right  C. Lead you to light the way for others 

John 8 brings us into a tense and honest conversation between Jesus and the religious leaders, one that presses on questions of identity, freedom, and where we truly belong. In this sermon, we sit with the discomfort of miscommunication and the ways spiritual bondage can hide in plain sight. Jesus invites us into a deeper kind of freedom, not just release from sin, but a place in God's family. Through story and reflection, this message calls us to receive that freedom with gratitude and to come to the table together in communion.

On Christmas, we celebrate the good news that the Light of the world has come—not to a palace, but to a manger, and not to the impressive, but to the weary. Walking through Luke 2 and Jesus' declaration in John 8, we see how God enters real darkness with real hope. The Light didn't wait for us to find our way out; He came looking for us.The sermon is available for you at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show
