LIVE YOUR TRUTH

(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)

A. The Sincere Advice

1. Your role in life is to what you .

B. The Underlying Assumption

“Jesus said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.’ ‘You are a king, then!’ said Pilate. Jesus answered, ‘You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.’ ‘What is truth?’ retorted Pilate…” (John 18:36-38a)

1. Truth is a that is you.

C. The Biblical Reality

1. Truth is an that exists you.

“For this is what the LORD says – he who created the heavens, he is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited – he says: ‘I am the LORD, and there is no other. I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob’s descendants, “Seek me in vain.” I, the LORD, speak the truth; I declare what is right.’” (Isaiah 45:18-19)

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.” (Proverbs 14:12)

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

Today’s “Big Idea”…

Truth is something you , it is not something you .

2. We the truth by living the truth.

3. You were the image of God, to the image of God.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

“If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32)
