Hey there, New Culture Church podcast fam! Ready for more insights from John's letters? But first, a funny family story. My sister jokingly claimed her scar was from a baby shark attack, even managed to reel in our friend Elmer. Crazy, right?
So, why am I telling you this? Well, it's a light-hearted way to remind us all to "test the spirits" and sort out the truth. We shouldn't take everything at face value, especially when it's against Jesus's gospel truth.
In our faith, we're called to examine, not blindly follow. That goes for our relationships too. Are they bringing us closer to Christ or causing chaos? Are our actions driven by envy or comparison?
John reminds us to watch out for false prophets and to discern between godly and merely good. We need to stay sharp, even in our desire to hear God's word.
As we explore love in our sermons, we underline the importance of truth. Our aim? Be as discerning as Jesus, acknowledging our imperfections and need to reorient ourselves.
So, let's stand together, inviting the Holy Spirit to guide us in love and truth. Thanks for joining us and here's to becoming more Christ-like!
