Light on SermonAudio

"O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me." The psalmist had to go to the tabernacle and wait for a man to open the book and read it aloud. You can hold the whole counsel of God in your hand every morning, and it is still the Word of God that leads.

Jesus calls us out of darkness and into a brand‑new identity. His light wakes us up from complacency and empowers us by Scripture and the Spirit to shine wherever He's placed us, whether that's soccer fields or city streets. In this episode, we remember that we are witnesses of His greatness, living with gratitude as we love and shine like Jesus.

Word of Faith prosperity preacher Jonathan Shuttlesworth recently posted a crude response on social media after someone questioned him about his private jet. In this episode, Justin Peters examines that public statement in light of Scripture and explains what it reveals about the heart, character, and qualifications of a professing minister. Drawing from Ephesians 4:29, Ephesians 5:3–5, 1 Timothy 3, 2 Peter 2, and Jude, Justin considers the seriousness of filthy speech and coarse jesting, the biblical requirement that pastors be above reproach, and the sensuality, greed, and exploitation that characterize false teachers. Justin urges Christians to exercise biblical discernment, flee from prosperity preachers who bring reproach upon Christ, and judge every teacher according to the written Word of God. He concludes with a direct gospel appeal and a call to repentance, faith in Jesus Christ, and fruit consistent with genuine conversion.
