Liam walks us through 1 John 4:7-16, check it out!

MP: God's saving grace ought to ignite a passion in us to proclaim it to those still in need of it.

Christians must detect and destroy anything that captures our hearts more than God.

We look for answers in God's Word for how to detect and destroy the things that take hold of our hearts.

Walker Tiffany (11th grade guys leader) shares his testimony with us.

As Jonah finally enters Nineveh to share God's message, we see that the Word of God is sufficient and has the power that saves.

1. The Sufficiency of the Word of God.
2. The Saving Power of the Word of God.
3. The Promises of the Word of God.

What does Jonah 2 teach us about true repentance? Does Jonah's prayer in the belly of the fish give us a good model for true repentance?

Christian, you must spot the difference between truth and error, and respond accordingly.

But HOW do we discern the difference between true and false teaching?

1. Test, Don't Trust (4:1-3)
2. Know That The Winner Dwells In You (4:4)
3. Observe Who Pays Attention (4:5-6)

May God use His Word to make us young men and women growing in spiritual maturity because we're growing in spiritual discernment
