Don't Be a Spiritual Sucker

Jun 5, 2016    Pastor Josh McPherson

With a Father's heart, Grandpa John writes to Christians urging them to exercise wisdom and discernment by testing the spirits of prophets who claim to be from God and speak for God. False teaching abounds and comes at us from every side, so the warning and command could not be more timely. However, this is not license to be mean and critical of brothers and sisters in Christ, lest we become false teachers ourselves. In this very practical sermon, Pastor Josh lays out very clear ways to identify false prophets, examples of abuses of this text, and rules of engagement to follow when dealing with a teacher that appears to be outside the scope of biblical doctrine.
