As that dialogue continued, the people began to insult Jesus. We see that in verse 48. The people retorted, You Samaritan devil! Didn't we say all along that you were possessed by a demon? No, Jesus said. I have no demon in me, for I honor my father, and you dishonor me. And though I have no wish to glorify myself, God is going to glorify me. He is the true judge. I tell you the truth, anyone who obeys my teaching will never die. The people said, Now we know you are possessed by a demon. Even Abraham and the prophets died. But you say, anyone who obeys my teaching will never die. Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are? Jesus answered, If I want glory for myself, it doesn't count. …
… In fact, it was Jesus who said this, he said, so if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. If you find yourself frustrated that so much of your life is wasted looking at a screen, there is a better way, and we're gonna ask God to help us find that. Holy Spirit, would you speak to us, your church? God, would you give us wisdom to say no to that which harms us and the wisdom to say yes to whatever could help us? Holy Spirit, do a work in our hearts and in our lives that we could be wise, innocent and wise. God, help us be free from anything that takes it from you and others. We pray this in Jesus' name and everybody said, amen, amen, amen. Okay, let me talk to the parents first. Parents, raise your hands if you're a mom or dad, raise your hand. Parents, I want you to know this. Your spiritual enemy is attacking your kids. He's coming for your kids. …
So talking about himself, if you follow me, if you embrace my teaching and you allow me to set you free, if the son sets you free, if you allow me to light up the lies you've believed, you will be free. Indeed. You will actually be free. You will be free to recognize your paper walls for what they are. And you will be free to move forward in life to the life that God has called you to live. Because following Jesus will make your life better. And following Jesus will make you better at life because he's the light of the world. And he's come to light up all of our personal darkness. And here's the thing, whether you believe Jesus is the son of God or not, following Jesus will make your life better and he will light up your life. The invitation to you today, regardless of where you are on the spectrum of faith, would you lean in and would you choose to follow Jesus? And he's going to lead you to the freedom to where you can acknowledge your fear and your insecurity. You'll be free to see what the people around you wish you could see that you genuinely can't see. …
… If you abide in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered Him. We are Abrahams of spring. and have never yet been enslaved to anyone, how is it that you say, you shall become free? Jesus answered them, truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin, and the slave does not remain in the house forever, the son does remain forever. If, therefore, the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Now, if I were to ask you tonight, How many of you are in bondage? Some form of bondage.

That is, you have already trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior. You know that you're saved. But you've never felt a real, genuine, true sense of freedom. …
… If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We are Abraham's descendants and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say you will be made free? Jesus answered them, Most assuredly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin, and the slave of sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore, if the son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you. I speak what I have seen with my father, and you do what you have seen with your father. And they answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, if you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. …
