1 . The Subtle Slavery of Sin2. The Life of Liberty in Jesus
In today's episode, Jesus continues conversing with the self-righteous Pharisees about his identity. He has told that them that he is the light of the world and has claimed that the Father has sent him. Some of those present believe in him, and today, he tells them that if they trust in him the truth will set them free. Confused, they press Jesus for answers, saying that their father is Abraham and they aren't enslaved. Jesus responds by saying that their father is not Abraham, but the devil. That doesn't go well, and they accuse him of having a demon. Jesus concludes by making a bold claim of divinity , saying that “…before Abraham was, I AM.” :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

The earliest manuscripts do not include the account in verses 1-11 about the adulteress who was forgiven by Jesus, and for several reasons (which you can look up later) it is probably not original to John. It's likely that a well-meaning scribe added the account at a later time, and while it interrupts the flow of John's work, it's not a big deal because it doesn't really change anything about our understanding of Christ's person, work, or teaching. The rest of our reading includes Christ's self-revelation as the light of the world, and a prediction about his departure to go to the one who sent him. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org
SERMON: I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLDSCRIPTURE: John 8:12SERIES: I AM
Usually we refer to Jesus' healings as miracles, but in the fourth Gospel, John calls them "signs." Just as a sign points to something else, so Jesus' miracles point to the truth of who He is. In this message on John 4:43-54, Tim Cedarland, Thrive's director emeritus, unfolds Jesus' second sign, while also surveying what we learn about Jesus from all seven signs recorded in John's Gospel.
Yesterday we learned that if we are goingto enjoy the peace of God guarding our hearts, then we must also guard ourminds. TodayPaul gives us the first test for every thought that enters our minds: "Whateverthings are true." Everything begins with truth. We live in a worldwhere truth is often questioned, ignored, or even rejected. We hear people say,"Well, that's your truth," or "This is my truth." But theBible teaches that truth is not something we invent—it is something God reveals.Jesus declared in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: noman cometh unto the Father, but by Me." Later, as He prayed to theFather, Jesus said in John 17:17: “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy wordis truth." God'sWord is the absolute standard of truth. If we are going to think correctly, wemust think Biblically. Why does Paul begin here? Because Satan's greatestweapon has always been deception. In the Garden of Eden, the serpent did notbegin by denying God. He began by questioning God's Word. "Yea, hathGod said...?" (Genesis 3:1) Then he contradicted God. "Youshall not surely die." (Genesis 3:4) A lie believed always leads tobondage. But the truth believed always leads to freedom. Jesus said in John8:31-32: "If you continue in My word, then are you My disciples indeed;and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Thinkabout how many lies Satan tries to whisper into our minds. He says, "Goddoesn't really love you." The Bible says, "The LORD hath appearedof old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love."(Jeremiah 31:3) Satan says, "God has abandoned you." God says, "Iwill never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 13:5) Satan says,"Your failures define you." God says, "If any man be inChrist, he is a new creature." (2 Corinthians 5:17) Satan says,"There is no hope." God says, "Blessed be... the God of allcomfort." (2 Corinthians 1:3) Yousee, every temptation begins with believing a lie, and every victory beginswith believing God's truth. That is why we must continually fill our minds withScripture. Someone once compared the mind to a garden. If you do notintentionally plant flowers, weeds will naturally grow. The same is true of ourminds. If we neglect God's Word, the weeds of fear, doubt, bitterness, lust,pride, and anxiety will quickly take over. David understood this. He wrote in Psalm 119:11, "Thy word haveI hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee." Noticehe didn't simply read God's Word. He hid it in his heart. He stored it there sothat when temptation came, truth was already available. That is exactly how ourLord defeated Satan during His temptation in the wilderness. Every time Satantempted Him, Jesus answered with the same words: "It iswritten..." He responded to every lie with the truth of God's Word.Ephesians 6:13-14 says: “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that youmay be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Standtherefore, having girded your waist with truth…” Friend,one of the greatest habits you can develop is to begin every day reading,meditating on, and memorizing Scripture. Throughout the day, ask yourself,"Is what I'm thinking true according to God's Word?" If it isn't,reject it and replace it with what God has said. Remember, God's peace guards our hearts, butGod's truth guards our minds. Today,determine that your mind will be anchored—not in your feelings, not in theopinions of the world, and not in the changing circumstances of life—but in theunchanging truth of God's Word. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!

This week, Pastor Wes walks us through John 8:1–38, where Jesus extends grace to the woman caught in adultery and boldly declares Himself to be the Light of the World. Through this passage, we're reminded that Jesus offers both forgiveness and freedom, calling us to leave our old lives behind and walk in His truth. He challenges those around Him to examine their hearts and shows that true freedom is found in following Him. The message encourages us to step out of darkness and live in the light of Christ.Text: John 8:1–38 Recorded: July 5, 2026
This episode originally aired on July 11, 2022. We've learned more about Jesus in John 8:12-12:36, but if we don't do something with it, then it hasn't really been helpful information. Ken and Mike discuss different ways that will help you put into practice what we've been learning about and from Jesus. This includes what keeps us from holding on to the teachings of Jesus; how to hear the voice of Jesus; and how we can multiply our impact as followers of Jesus. The discussion is practical and offers tangible ways for someone to start implementing these practices into their life today.Support the show
In this sermon, pastor Chad Hendley breaks down Jesus' great I AM statement in John 8:12--"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life." Learn more in this message preached to Hillside Baptist Church in Eastman, GA on 7/5/26.www.hillsideeastman.com
We trace Jesus' claim “I am the light of the world” through John 9 and John 8, watching him give sight to the blind and mercy to the exposed. We walk away seeing that God's light reveals beauty, exposes hidden sin, and shows a Savior who exposes the truth without throwing the stone. • fireworks as a picture of light that illuminates everything nearby • why “light” is a massive Bible theme from Genesis to Revelation • John 9 and the blind man as a physical sign of spiritual blindness • John 8 and the woman caught in adultery as shame dragged into public • our fear of being fully known and not loved • Jesus stooping to the dirt and refusing condemnation • the gospel logic of the only sinless judge extending mercy • three outcomes for hidden sin: confession, exposure, or darkness • bringing sin into the light with wise community• the cross as the Light lifted up for all to see If you want to learn more about the MidTree story or connect with us, go to our website HERE or text us at 812-MID-TREE.

Help Persecuted Christians TODAY: https://csi-usa.org/quickstart/ Christian Solidarity International On today's Quick Start podcast: NEWS: A potentially significant development in the Middle East amid the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran. After a weekend of escalating violence, Washington and Tehran have reportedly agreed to halt military strikes for now. Millions of Americans are bracing for dangerous heat as we head toward the Fourth of July weekend. Forecasters say the Midwest will feel it first, before the heat and humidity push into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast by midweek. A major report on religious liberty is now in President Trump's hands. After a yearlong investigation, the White House Religious Liberty Commission delivered its final findings, warning that threats to religious freedom are growing in America. FOCUS: In Nigeria, the mass murder of Christians by militant Muslims continues. There are new reports that Fulani militants killed as many as 22 people in the town of Mushere in the Plateau State. An Israeli survivor of Hamas's barbaric October 7 massacre shared her testimony before the UN. However, it was the reaction, or, more accurately, the disturbing lack of reaction, from the UN's special official on violence against women that has gone viral.

Daily we are told that the things of this world will provide all that we need and make us happy. But every day those promises fall short. Is there a source for life and light that will provide everything? In this message from our FLIP Camp celebration, Pastor Jeremy Writebol unpacks John 8:12 and shows us how Jesus is the source of all we need.
Uflourish Church elder, Ed Wade, looks at John 8:12-20, where Jesus describes himself as the light of the world. Ed walks us through similar passages across Scripture and helps us recognize that Jesus doesn't just shine a light on the destination, but he gives us light for each step along the way. Our call then is to receive the light of his direction with a humble posture each day, and while we don't know which way he'll take us, we can trust that his way is the best way.
