The Father of Lies: 3 Lies the Devil Tells and How to Resist | John 8:38-47

This sermon looks at who the devil is and the three main lies he tells, so we can recognize and resist them. Following Jesus' words in John 8 that the devil is "the father of lies," it explains that the devil is a real enemy, not a myth or merely an accuser, and that his best lies feel natural and mostly true, though we remain responsible for our own sin. The three lies are traced through Eden, Job, and the temptation of Jesus: "Did God really say?", "Is God really good?", and "Go on, take it." Each is answered from Scripture: obey God's clear word even when culture disagrees, trust that God is good even in the face of evil, and put to death the desires of the flesh. The sermon asks listeners to name which lie they are tempted by, embrace the truth that sets us free, and follow Jesus even when it is hard.
