Beware!

Aug 20, 2023    Pastor Matt Keller

Welcome to our exploration of the power and danger of lies, especially those that revolve around Jesus. We highlight the physical and spiritual devastation that lies can cause. Then, we'll navigate through 2 John 7-13, reminding us of John's stern warning about deceivers who distort the truth about Jesus.


In our sermon, we further dissect John's warning about false teachings, exploring the perilous consequences of accepting these lies. We examine the relationship between lies and faith and how lies can shake the foundations of our beliefs. Furthermore, we highlight modern moral sensibilities, pointing out how a large number of Americans think moral truth is relative. The risks associated with not abiding by the teachings of Christ are not overlooked, emphasizing the dangers of deviating from the gospel's clear teachings.


Finally, we ponder the importance of truth and love, emphasizing the need for a solid stand on truth while maintaining love for one another. We stress that truth and love cannot be separated and discuss the danger of false doctrine. Our conversation ends with a prayer for the church body's protection and strength and gratitude for God's salvation. So join us, and let's engage in this enlightening conversation about truth, love, and the dangers of deception.
