Chaplain David Saltzman – “Trust the Truth” – Verdugo Community Church November 24, 2024

In his sermon, “Trust the Truth,” Chaplain David Saltzman concludes the church year by looking at the importance of knowing and following the truth of Jesus’ teachings. In John 18 Pilate confronts Jesus at his trial with the accusation that he claims to be a king. Jesus asks Pilate what he knows and thinks, and then acknowledges that although his kingdom is not of this world, he came to testify to the truth, and that all who belong to the truth hear his voice. In John 8:32 Jesus said that if you know the truth of his teachings, it shall make you free from the slavery of sin. Jesus’ teaching is that God loves each of us and wants us to help each other. In our present world we are bombarded with numerous examples of groups fighting each other over which version of the truth is right. We should not give in to this, but continue to trust God and remain focused on the truth of Jesus.
