Pastor Steve Smartt is back in our series on the Gospel of John. In the passage today, we see Jesus in his continuation of ministry becoming a greater threat to the Jewish leaders. He continues to show His followers and others that the normal religious checklists and political nature of the these church leaders is not what He is calling believers to. His followers are challenged to look at their lives, examine their deeds even their good deeds, their religious deeds, and make sure that they first find themselves at Jesus' feet in worship.
