THIS EPISODE:
What can we even believe anymore? With misinformation, disinformation & “fake news” roiling all around us today, we're living in a world where the existence of any absolute truth is constantly under attack.
But there is absolute truth, and it's more critical than ever that we deeply understand and embrace it.
In this episode we focus a few minutes on three specific ways God defines absolute truth for us, and what's really at stake if we lose sight of it. Let's unpack this and more in today's message…
PRIMARY TEXTS:
—John 17:17 (CSB)—
17 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
—John 14:6 (CSB)—
I am the way, the truth, and the life.
—John 1:14 (CSB)—
14 The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
—Ephesians 1:13 (CSB)—
13 In him you also were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and when you believed.
—Colossians 1:3-6 (CSB)—
3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints 5 because of the hope reserved for you in heaven. You have already heard about this hope in the word of truth, the gospel 6 that has come to you.
—2 Timothy 2:16-18 (CSB)—
16 Avoid irreverent and empty speech, since those who engage in it will produce even more godlessness, 17 and their teaching will spread like gangrene. Hymenaeus and Philetus are among them. 18 They have departed from the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and are ruining the faith of some.
