Guarding Your Heart and Mind

Series: From the Heart of the Elders

Category: Gospel, The Church

Speaker: Shayne Boelter

This week, we continued in 2 John by exploring verses 9–11, where we looked at John's warning to the church to stay rooted in the truth of the gospel and to guard against drifting from sound doctrine. Abiding in Christ means living in Him, drawing life from Him, and bearing the fruit of obedience- not to earn salvation, but as evidence of it. John's strong caution against welcoming false teachers is not about rejecting unbelievers, but about protecting the gospel from distortion. In a world still filled with subtle lies, we’re reminded that abiding in Christ also means abiding in truth, and it's both our joy and responsibility as a church to defend that truth with love.
