Sermon
A Surprising Betrayal

Summary
Through the story of Judas's betrayal in John 13, the pastor examines how rejection of Jesus stems not from God's lack of love or grace, but from human unwillingness to repent and confess sin. Listeners learn that proximity to Jesus doesn't guarantee saving faith, that God's grip on believers is secure, and that honest confession within community prevents spiritual collapse.
Highlights
The real thing that will take you down is not sin but your unwillingness to repent and confess those sins to Jesus and to see him as King.
Your salvation is not about your grip on God but his grip on you.
When you lie your problems become part of your future; when you tell the truth they become part of your past.
