Pondering the Bible
S12 Ep 08 1 John 4:1-6
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Apostle John explores the theme of testing spiritual guidance to discern if it stems from God or a false prophet.
Rocky emphasizes the Greek phrase "Ek tau Theo," which appears in five of the six verses and is translated variously across different Bible versions. Ken and Rocky discuss how to identify true spiritual messages using three tests: spiritual discernment within the church, alignment with the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, and consistency with Biblical scripture. They also touch upon historical heresies and modern-day misconceptions.
The sermon for this episode is titled "Testing the Spirit” and can be heard at pondergmc.org/ministries/sermons.
