The Power Of Discernment — The Holy Spirit @ Work (At Home) — Pentecost Sermon Series #3 | Pastor Georgia Hill @ LifeChurch Riverside Detroit

"Discernment is the ability to grasp and comprehend what is obscure... you’re able to go deeper, and you're not tricked by what you see."THE MESSAGEIn Part 3 of our "@ Work" series, Pastor Georgia Hill moves the conversation from the workplace to the most intimate areas of our lives: our homes and our schools. Using 1 John 4 as a guide, we are challenged to "test the spirits"—recognizing that not every voice or influence comes from God. Discernment is not about harsh judgment; it is about developing a "counterfeit detection" system by becoming so familiar with the Word of God that falsehood becomes obvious. Whether it’s navigating complex family dynamics, setting healthy boundaries with a "holy NO," or understanding the true nature of spiritual warfare, this message equips us to live by the Spirit in every room of the house.A WORD FROM PASTOR GEORGIA"You belong to God... because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who is in the world.""At home... what looks mean and evil might just be broken and damaged. But understanding that somebody is violent because they had a violent childhood does not mean you should stay. Do not remain in violence situations... get help... get out.""This is not a message for you to go out and fix your people in your house... this message is about fixing us. [Spiritual maturity] learns how not to be enmeshed in everybody’s problems... learns how to say that beautiful word: NO.""The point is not to try to check somebody so you can be unkind... the point is that what they’re suggesting is not going to wind up good."KEY SCRIPTURES📖 1 John 4:1 "Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God."📖 1 John 4:4 "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."📖 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds... bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ."RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS✨ New Here?
