Discerning False Teaching (1 John 4:1-6)
from Sermon Podcast Hosted by Brent Kompelien
Terry Szymanski from our Elder Team returns to preach on one of his favorite Christian disciplines, apologetics. His introduction covers several humorous illustrations designed to encourage critical thinking skills and discernment: a series of AI-modified photos of himself ranging from the mundane to the ridiculous; a quick round of “Two Truths and a Lie”: and misunderstood lyrics to a pop song from when he was a child. Terry then dives into his sermon on 1 John 4:1-6: “Recognizing That There is a Battle of Ideas (Truth & Lies)” (v. 1); “Spotting False Teaching” (vv. 2-4); and “Practicing Discernment and Living in Truth” (vv. 5-6). From describing various assaults on truths; definitions and iterations of antichrists; basic truth theories; and subjective vs. objective truth, Terry challenges the listener to have hearts that burn with desire for the truth of Jesus and His Word (see Luke 24:32) and to live out truth today.
