Join Pastor Stuart in our fourth lesson about The Truth About Truth.

This week, we turn to the Apostle Paul's Letter to the Romans 1:18-32 to be reminded that . . . "Sinners Suppress Truth"

• The truth about truth is this: Sinners Suppress Truth
• Sinners tend to deny God and his truth while making something other than God central to life.
• This suppression of truth leads to all kinds of deviations from what is truly good.
• Christians are not immune to the truth suppressing effects of sin.
• All of this emphasizes our great need for Jesus.
• Therefore, we ought to AFFIRM the Truth.
  • Admit how you personally suppress God’s truth.
  • Face the truth of your need for Jesus.
  • Find truth in Christ.
  • Internalize the truth of Scripture.
  • Rely on the Spirit to guide you in truth.
  • Meet regularly with other truth pursuers.
• So, in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Spirit, let’s grow in affirming the truth of God in our lives.

• "Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality (Rom 12:13, ESV)."

• At the heart of hospitality is love.
• We demonstrate hospitable love to others as we welcome them, share with them, and connect with them.
• We are enabled to show loving hospitality to others because of the loving hospitality God has shown us in Christ.
• Therefore, we can be encouraged to try to show hospitality (welcoming, sharing, connecting) with at least one person this week.
