John 13:18-38

May 5, 2024    Bruce Gordon

In this profound sermon from John 13, Pastor Bruce Gordon delves into the contrasting narratives of Judas and Peter, two disciples of Jesus, during His final hours before the crucifixion. Highlighting the themes of betrayal, self-examination, and redemption, Pastor Gordon invites the congregation to reflect deeply on their spiritual condition. Are we true disciples willing to follow Christ's example of love and service, or do we merely present an outward appearance of faith? Through the intimate setting of the Last Supper, Pastor Gordon challenges believers to open their hearts to the Holy Spirit for genuine transformation and to identify any lingering traits of a 'Judas.' This sermon is a compelling call to authenticity in faith—to move beyond outward appearances and align our lives with the sacrificial love of Jesus. As we examine ourselves, let us learn from Peter's journey of redemption and let go of our pride, embracing a life of humble service grounded in true discipleship.
