Week One: Get to the Truth
(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)
A. Four Corrective Lenses That Will Help Us Get to the Truth
1.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16)
2.
“I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever – the Spirit of truth.” (John 14:16-17a)
“When he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.” (John 16:13a)
3.
“Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.” (Proverbs 27:6)
“I don’t need a friend who changes when I change, and nods when I nod. My shadow does that much better.” (Plutarch)
4.
“Walk with the wise, and you will become wise.” (Proverbs 13:20)
Today’s “Big Idea”
You what you .
“From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priest alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.” (Jeremiah 6:13-14)
