Ep.19: Sermon "He must increase, but we must decrease" -John 3:22-26

In this episode of The 740 Bible Podcast: Biblical Truth for Everyday Disciples, Derek Massie's sermon is from 8-9-2026 on John 3:22-36. Most Christians say they love Jesus, but live like the center is still them. This sermon lands on the uncomfortable question John 3 makes impossible to avoid: do you really exalt Christ, or have you turned faith into something that still revolves around your preferences, your ministry, and your image? John 3:22-36 shows how John the Baptist answers jealousy, comparison, and ministry rivalry with one sentence that cuts through everything - He must increase, but I must decrease. What starts as a discussion about baptism becomes a sharp call to put Jesus back in His rightful place above our wants, our ego, and even our best religious habits.
