John 7:40-52 — Divided

Listen to this sermon here or on Apple Podcast or Spotify.

Welcome to this week’s worship service!

In John 7:40–52, we see how the words and presence of Jesus caused division among the people. Some believed He was the Messiah. Others doubted, mocked, or sought to silence Him. Even the religious leaders and temple guards couldn’t agree — but one thing was undeniable:

“No one ever spoke the way this man does.”

This passage reminds us that Jesus isn’t just another teacher or moral example. His words confront, challenge, and divide — because they demand a response. You can’t stay neutral about Him.

📖 In this message, we explore:

• The three groups of people divided over Jesus — the uncertain, the doubtful, and the convinced

• How the Pharisees’ pride blinded them to truth right in front of them

• Why the words of Jesus still stir hearts and create decision today

• That sometimes the only division that matters is where we stand with Christ

At the center of all debate, doubt, and belief stands Jesus — the One whose words bring life to those who receive Him.
