False teachers reject apostolic truth about Christ. Those who belong to God listen to the apostles' teaching. We consider 5 tests that John gives to help Christians discern truth from error. We are assured the Spirit of God is greater than the spiri...

We Need God To Reveal It The message centers on our complete dependence upon the Lord to see life, sin, ourselves, and Jesus rightly. Like Israel in Numbers 15, we are naturally inclined to follow our own hearts and our own eyes, but God calls us to look, listen, and live—to look to Him, listen to what He says, and then walk by faith in what He reveals. The contrast between Joshua and Caleb and th...

James 1:19

The mess...

The central theological theme is that...
