Pastor Matt preaches from John 8:48-59. In this sermon, we look at how we can be prepared to respond to insults, and even worse, like Jesus does at the end of John 8. How can we be prepared to respond to insults with grace and an unwavering commitment to the truth of the gospel? 

To Have God as Father - John 8:37-47
