Not Every Voice Is Truth: Test What You Hear

About this episode

The episode discusses how to discern truth in a world of competing voices, emphasizing the importance of scripture and the Holy Spirit.

How do we know what’s actually true in a world full of competing voices? In Part 7 of So That You May Know, we continue through 1 John and are reminded that not every voice leads to truth. John calls believers to test what they hear and remain anchored in the real Jesus revealed in Scripture. This message explores how counterfeit versions of Jesus can slowly shape our thinking, and how the Holy Spirit helps followers of Christ recognize truth, discern deception, and walk with confidence as children of God. Questions for Reflection: • What voices or influences are shaping the way I think about Jesus right now? • Am I intentionally spending time in God’s Word so I can recognize His voice more clearly?
