The Damning Power of False Religion (John 5:1–16)

Summary

The sermon discusses John chapter 5, focusing not on Jesus healing the man at the Pool of Bethesda, but on the power of false religion exemplified by the religious leaders who persecuted Jesus. Despite Jesus' miracles and teachings clearly demonstrating His deity and Messiahship, religious opposition persisted. The practical takeaway is to recognize the destructive influence of false religion even in the face of divine truth.
