When Truth Has a Name

When Truth Has a Name, Episode 19 What is truth? In a world where opinions shift, culture changes, and everyone claims to have their own version of truth, Jesus made a bold declaration: "I am the truth." But what does that actually mean? Can Jesus really be trusted? And what happens when we reject the truth He offers? This week on At the Sycamore Tree, we continue our I AM series by exploring why truth isn't just an idea to believe—it's a Person to follow. We'll uncover the difference between God's unchanging truth and the lies that compete for our allegiance, discover the freedom found in obedience to Christ, and be challenged to ask ourselves one important question: Is Jesus your truth? ❕Today’s Takeaway: Truth has a name—and His name is Jesus. 📖 Scriptures in today’s teaching: John 14v6-14 Matthew 10v7-8 Matthew 10v16-20 John 8v31-47 John 18v37-40 Romans 1v18-25 Ephesians 1v12-14 1 John 5v6-12 🌱 Want to sow into the ministry: 🔗: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/sycamore-tree-partners 🌳About the Podcast Just like Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree to see Jesus, this space exists to help you rise above the noise, quiet your heart, and encounter Him in a deeper way.

In this episode of At the Sycamore Tree, we continue the I AM series by unpacking one of the boldest statements Jesus ever made: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Was Jesus being exclusive… or was He offering the most inclusive invitation in history?

The Life Hell Wants Silenced

The Life Hell Wants Silenced, Episode 17 Welcome to At the Sycamore Tree Podcast with Jeff Hughes — a place dedicated to helping you see Jesus more clearly. In this episode of Sycamore Tree Ministries, we return to the I AM series and Jesus’ powerful statement: “I am the resurrection and the life.” But this time, we look at what happened AFTER Lazarus was raised from the dead. When Jesus brings dead things back to life, the world takes notice. Lazarus became living evidence of Jesus’ power—and because of that, he became a target. Through John 11 and John 12, we unpack what it means to walk in resurrection life, fight from victory and remain faithful even when opposition comes. ❕Today’s Takeaway: Dead things don’t stay dead around Jesus. 📖 Scriptures in today’s teaching: John 11v45-53 John 12v1-11 Ephesians 1v12-14 1 Corinthians 15v56-58 Philippians 3v8-11 💬 Type “Victory in Jesus” in the comments if you’re walking in His resurrection life. 🌱 Want to sow into the ministry: 🔗: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/sycamore-tree-partners 🌳About the Podcast Just like Zacchaeus climbed the sycamore tree to see Jesus, this space exists to help you rise above the noise, quiet your heart, and encounter Him in a deeper way.
