Pastor Mike preached on the Epistle of 2 John.

This sermon centers on the enduring truth of God's Word as the foundation of Christian faith, life, and love, drawing from the Epistle of 2 John's urgent call to abide in Christ's teaching and reject false doctrines. It emphasizes that truth is not merely intellectual assent but a living reality rooted in Christ, who is the embodiment of truth, and is expressed through obedient love, joy, and discernment. The preacher underscores the necessity of biblical fidelity, warning against deceptive teachings—such as those found in Mormonism and popular books like The Shack—that distort the person and work of Christ, while affirming that true discipleship requires both personal commitment and communal accountability. The joy of walking in truth is deepened by fellowship, the promise of eternal security in God's unchanging Word, and the desire for face-to-face communion, reflecting the unity Christ prayed for in John 17. Ultimately, the message calls believers to live in the liberating freedom of truth, grounded in Scripture, sustained by grace, and marked by love and joy.
