The Spirituals, part 12

In Part 12 of The Spirituals, Pastor Cole examines the spiritual gift of discernment and its vital role in protecting the church from error and preserving sound doctrine.Scripture repeatedly calls believers to test what they hear and evaluate every teaching according to the truth of God's Word. The gift of discernment enables certain believers to recognize the difference between truth and error, biblical teaching and false doctrine, genuine spirituality and counterfeit claims.This message explores why discernment is essential for the health of the church and how God uses discerning believers to guard congregations, strengthen doctrinal faithfulness, and help God's people remain anchored in Scripture.As the study of spiritual gifts continues, this sermon reminds us that discernment is not rooted in suspicion but in a growing knowledge of God's truth.
