The Death of Truth | Why Rejecting Jesus Changes Everything | John 18:28-40 - Dallas Herndon

Life Tabernacle Church — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 13:06:20 -0700

In John 18:28–40, Jesus stands before Pontius Pilate—and in this moment, truth is on trial.

Pilate asks one of the most important questions ever recorded:

“What is truth?”

But instead of waiting for an answer, he walks away.

In this message, we explore what happens when truth is rejected—not just in the Bible, but in our own lives and culture. Jesus reveals that truth is not just something to define, but someone to know and follow.

When truth is ignored or rejected, it always produces something:

Hypocrisy — saying one thing, living another
Deception — believing lies instead of God’s truth
Apathy — knowing what’s right but doing nothing

This sermon challenges us to stop avoiding truth, stop redefining truth, and instead surrender to Jesus—who is the truth.

📖 Scripture

John 18:28–40

🔑 Key Takeaway

You don’t just reject truth by denying it—you reject it by ignoring it.

The Death of Control | How to Trust God Instead of Controlling | John 18:1-12 - Dallas Herndon

Life Tabernacle Church — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 05:36:03 -0700

In this message from John 18:1–12, we explore what it means to release control and trust God fully. As Jesus faces betrayal and arrest in the Garden, He models a powerful truth: true control is found not in holding on, but in surrendering to the will of the Father.

Many of us try to control people, outcomes, and situations—often out of fear, pain, or past experiences. But this sermon challenges us to see that control can become manipulation, and ultimately, a barrier to trusting God.

Through the story of Jesus, Peter, and Judas, we learn:

The difference between godly control and worldly control
Why trying to control others leads to frustration and brokenness
How Jesus remained fully in control by surrendering to the Father
The power of the name of Jesus in situations we cannot control
What it truly means to belong to Jesus—not just know about Him

This message calls us to lay down control, stop trying to play God, and trust the One who already holds all authority.

📖 Scripture

John 18:1–12

🔑 Key Takeaway

You don’t have to control everything—because God already does.
