September 17, 2023, Pentecost 16: ”A Truthful Life”

It is common to harbor illusions about the church. Though we might expect Christians to live with abundant grace, mercy, and love, the truth is we can be just as selfish, deceptive, and unforgiving as anyone else. This is nothing new, but has been part of our sin problem since the Garden. So, how does the Elder of 3 John address this problem in the church of Diotrephes? What does it mean to walk in the truth? And how does one walk in the truth when there are lies and propaganda everywhere you turn? Pastor David preaches "Living Truthfully" based on 3 John 1-15.
