We're kicking off a new series called Truth in Love: The Courage to Correct and Be Corrected. In this episode, we take a fresh look at what correction really is—not punishment, but an invitation. Not shame, but love. You'll learn how God uses correction to shape us, not reject us—and why we so often resist it. I'll share a personal story about how one letter from my mom became a turning point in my spiritual walk, and we'll explore why biblical correction is one of the most powerful tools for growth in our relationships and in our walk with God.Clarity + Courage is my monthly coaching membership for Christian women who want to become the woman God says they already are—and finally think clearly, feel better, and move forward.Join HERE for less than $2 a day!

Today on the show, I continue my series on speaking the truth in love.

Additionally, I address a crucial element often missing in our presentation of the gospel: repentance. Listen in and then ask God how He would like you to engage with those around you about the importance of embracing the truth.

Scripture shows us that God's truth is not always delivered in soft tones. From the prophets to the apostles—and Jesus Himself—we see instruction, parables, sharp questions, satire, and even rebuke used to pierce pride, expose hypocrisy, and awaken hearts. The “serrated edge” of God's Word cuts not to destroy, but to heal, calling us to repentance and life. At Pentecost, Peter boldly proclaimed, “This Jesus, whom you crucified, God has made both Lord and Christ.” The gospel is offensive—it confronts sin and pride—but it also brings hope, mercy, and freedom. Even in times of persecution and cultural conflict, believers are called to speak truth with conviction and compassion, just as Jesus did. In a world filled with competing voices, ideologies, and pressures, we must cling to God's Word, live as His people, and boldly proclaim Christ. ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_eeee9ee039034aecb3d7f035d9c4e443.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_30a46f1042c2489e81c7487d68f77270.pdf ________________________________________ In this video: Review of previous sermons in series Main Points Application ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/

What if defending truth didn't mean losing love? In this eye-opening message, Pastor Miles dives into the story of the woman caught in adultery (John 8:1–11) to reveal how Jesus held both truth and grace in perfect tension. Discover why truth belongs to God—not public opinion, and how real love doesn't excuse sin—it transforms lives. If you've ever felt torn between justice and mercy, this message will challenge everything you thought you knew about apologetics, conviction, and compassion.

Words to Live ByNever short sell an immeasurably more God.Never underestimate the power of a simple prayer offered on behalf of a complex situation.Never dismiss the impact of obedience (or disobedience).This week our word is… Never be afraid of the repercussions of speaking the truth in love; one of those repercussion is freedom.The problem with avoiding conflict is that you actually live longer in the conflict than you need to and you miss what God can do in you and them as a result of a resolution. What I propose to you this morning is…God may have a purpose for your conflict. All of God's purposes are good.God will do something redeeming in your conflict if you trust Him enough to follow Him through it.Conflict can be a path to freedom for both parties if both parties cooperate. Replace “winning or avoiding” with freedom as your new frame for conflict. Never be afraid of the repercussions of speaking the truth in love; one of those repercussion is freedom (redemption). If you just want the conflict to be over you will leave a lot of restoration on the table. Conflict is a freedom opportunity.Changing your perception of conflict will change the way you process conflict.Ephesians 4:1-6, 11-16 (NIV + CAV) As a prisoner for the Lord [bound by His words, way and will], then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love [agape selfless all in love]. 3 Make every effort [implies consistent work] to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. [we are all under this one banner of the Lordship of Christ.] 11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. [End goal freedom = fullness. For me to be full of Christ I have to get rid of the stuff that isn't Christ] 14 Then [when we are free and full] we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.Spiritual Unity and Spiritual Maturity are two of God's primary objectives for the Body of Christ. This means they are Word directed and Spirit empowered BUT they are only accomplished with our cooperation. Disunity and Immaturity are opponents to freedom and wholeness in Christ. Satan's objective with conflict is separation and there is no shortage of opportunity for conflict. God's objective is freedom and this verse gives us the way towards conflict redemption… “speak the truth in love”. Truthing isn't the idea of “getting something off my chest” or “telling it like it is”. Truthing's purpose is freedom and its manner is agape love. Are you truthing in love in your conflict? Being a Christian and being a part of a church doesn't mean we have arrived, it means we are arriving – we are walking together. Freedom is the motivation. Truthing is the manner. Face to Face is the Method. Matthew 18:15 (NIV) 15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.The Biblical method to conflict redemption is to go in person. The quicker you GO the quicker the potential is for redemption and restoration. The longer you let it sit, it doesn't sit, it burrows. An early “face to face” short circuits at least 3 things that complicate conflict redemption. Contamination. Infection. Posse building. Winning a conflict is not ending up on top or having the most people on your side, winning is mutual freedom. Matthew 18:16 (NIV) 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'Why the press from Jesus? Jesus understands broken human nature better than anyone. Jesus understands more than we do the value of relationships to our wholeness and maturity. Jesus is more invested in this “freedom outcome” than we are – He died for it.Matthew 18:17 (NIV) 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector. It is possible to agree to disagree and still be able to work on the same mission with the same passion… but it's not possible within the Body of Christ to hold animosity towards or withhold forgiveness from someone. If love, humility and unity wasn't such a priority for the Body of Christ, Christ wouldn't confront conflict so boldly. Freedom is the motive. Truthing in love is the manner. Face to Face is the method.Matthew 5:9 (NIV) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.Freedom is the motivation – not avoiding or winning.Truthing in love is the manner – not accusation.Face to Face is the method – not posse building.Your freedom doesn't rest in the outcome (the hands of someone else) your freedom rests in your obedience, faith, trust, movement in the word of God.

What is a Healthy Christian? (Ephesians 4:7-16) - Pastor Brett Barton

The church is more than a building...it's a community. Spiritual growth cannot happen unless we are committed to loving one another enough to speak the truth.

Former pastor of Hays Christian Church, Steve Culver, returns to deliver a timely message. Ephesians 4:14-16 expresses that speaking the truth in love matures us spiritually and allows us to become more like Christ. We learn the importance of speaking truth in love, especially to those whose actions reflect unloving qualities.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Can you really experience love without truth, or truth without love? God's design is that the two always go together. In Truth in Love, Pastor Mike O'Connell takes us through 2 John to reveal how love and truth are inseparable parts of His perfect plan for our lives. When one is missing, we fall short of the fullness God intends for us. This week, focus on living with both truth and love so you can experience God's best for your life.

Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday

In this episode, we sit down with Christian apologist Dr. Frank Turek to talk about what it means to represent Christ with both courage and compassion. How can we be fearless in the face of cultural pushback, forthright in speaking truth without compromise, and yet genuinely personable so people feel heard and respected? Frank unpacks practical insights from years of engaging skeptics and training believers, helping us learn how to share our faith with both clarity and kindness. Dr. Frank Turek is a dynamic speaker, author, and Christian apologist best known for his book I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist. He is the president of CrossExamined.org, a ministry that equips Christians to defend their faith with confidence and clarity. Frank hosts the I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist TV show and podcast, and he frequently speaks at universities, churches, and conferences around the world. With a background as a former aviator in the U.S. Navy and a doctorate in apologetics, Frank combines sharp reasoning with an engaging, personable style that challenges skeptics and strengthens believers.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're addressing the troubling reality of the Epstein list and Donald Trump's failure to bring it to light, holding it up to the standard of biblical justice.

Today's sermon, by Rev. Joyce Shin, was offered on Sunday, August 10, 2025. The scripture passage this morning was Ephesians 4:11-16. To view the full Lord's Day service, visit our YouTube channel by searching "Swarthmore Presbyterian Church."

Today on the show, I am starting a new series titled "Speaking the Truth in Love." This series is inspired by a set of short videos featuring Jim Daly, the president of Focus on the Family, and Dr. Rosaria Butterfield. In this series, I will explore what it means to stand firm on the truth of God's Word while also embodying grace, mercy, and compassion. I encourage you to listen and then strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus in your own community!

society has hijacked love and it's called compromise deception. to society love means I have to affirm everything about you including what is detrimental and ungodly. if I don't affirm it and support it, then I am a loving. but God's word is true we're living in a time where we're going to call good evil and evil good and men prefer darkness rather than light because they're deeds are evil. if I truly love you I will sacrifice my life in truth and allow you to kill me so that what you may hear they set you free. when we compromise truth for a so-called deceptive kindness we hurt the people we love even more. I'd rather for you to hate me today and I see you in eternity then you hate me because I compromised the truth that will set you free.https://youtu.be/dsKVIjgW40M?si=PsksOqpDmU5TcE63

Send us a textWhat does holy love really look like when it gets personal? In this message, we explore Leviticus 19:15-18, a passage that calls us to live with fairness, truth, and courage. This sermon reminds us that God's love doesn't play favorites, turn a blind eye, or hold grudges. It confronts sin and clings to righteousness.Through a powerful combination of biblical insight and real-life application, we unpack what it means to love our neighbor as ourselves--not with shallow niceness, but with deep, resilient, and justice-shaped love.Whether you're navigating strained relationships, wrestling with how to speak the truth in love, or wondering what holiness looks like in a fractured world--this episode is for you.Other Episodes in this series:Leftover & Left BehindHonesty & HospitalityLove & LoyaltySin & Slavery (coming August 11)Foreign & Friend (coming August 18)Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor Rev. Craig Bailey continued his look at what it means to be "uncompromising." As we as devoted disciples seek to be more like Christ, we must speak the truth in love.

Because Truth matters and God is a God of Truth, we who belong to Him must always speak the truth in love both to and about our neighbors for Christ's sake. I. God Commanded His Covenant People to Never Lie About Others Ex 20:16 II. God's People Must be Committed to Always Speak the Truth To and About Others Ex 4:25 III. Jesus Calls us to Use Our Words to Build Others Up, Not to Tear Them Down Eph 4:29

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we are joined with Juliette Bryant, a courageous survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's vile sex trafficking operation. Lured by the promise of a modeling career, Juliette was instead ensnared in a web of calculated evil. She was abused, exploited, and flown to Epstein's private island where countless others suffered the same fate.This is more than a scandal. It is a moral reckoning. And yet, the full, unredacted Epstein list, containing the names of powerful men who enabled or participated in this wickedness, remains sealed. Why is that?Donald Trump promised the American people he would release it. Now, he mocks those demanding it, calling us “bad people” and “weaklings.” Well, it's actually bad and weak to fail to release the Epstein list, Mr. President. But we will not be intimidated. The righteous are commanded to expose darkness, not negotiate with it. Trump's evasiveness increasingly resembles guilt. It's certainly not strong leadership.We will not be silenced. Not by politicians, not by media, and not by fear. We demand the truth.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoq6zS6i2LVAaJq4sRAuJqL9WZWgV03ccH9c4dufm2XMD0ozmV5S

Sermon Title: The Truth In Love (COOL Summer) Pastor Rick Nieves | COOL Church   CREATED OUT OF LOVE

By Brian McGuire - Loving, truthful words have the power to teach, edify, exhort, and comfort others.

In this episode of The Frontline with Nathan Pierce, we explore what it means to speak the truth in love amidst cultural confusion and legislative pressure. Drawing from Ephesians 4:15 and other key Scriptures, Nathan lays the foundation for biblically grounded advocacy—bold, compassionate, and unwavering. Nathan explores why truth without love can be damaging, while love without truth can be deceptive, drawing on Jesus' example of perfectly balancing both. In a California legislative update, AB 727 has progressed in the State Senate. Although private homeschools are no longer impacted, the bill continues to pose a threat to Christian colleges and public schools. You can learn more about its current status, why it remains a concern, and how you can respond through prayer and action. Additionally, he warns about new legislation in New Jersey that aims to impose state-controlled curriculum standards on homeschoolers. This effort has deceptive origins, linked to a misleading national headline, and it's important to understand what is truly at stake. Finally, "Prayer Focus" outlines how you can intercede for homeschool freedom in California, New Jersey, and nationwide.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're hitting a hot topic: America jumping into the Israel-Iran war. And I'm just going to say it—I don't think we should've gotten involved. I've supported Donald Trump for years, but I think he got this wrong.Israel just said they didn't need us. This was their fight. Then suddenly, we're bombing a nuclear site and opening doors that didn't need to be opened. And of course, anyone who questions it gets labeled a “panican.” But guess what? The “panicans” are starting to look more and more like prophets, because now, sleeper cells are stirring, and American churches are already under attack.We don't need to be scared, we need to be wise. The Bible calls us to test the spirits, stay watchful, and seek peace when we can. (1 John 4:1, Romans 12:18). So let's talk about it honestly. Because loving your country (and even loving your favorite president) doesn't mean checking your discernment at the door and always being a yes-man.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Co-Hosts: Steve Macchia and Matt Scott “If we could practice listening first before speaking, how different our words would be and how different our relationships would be.” — Steve Macchia  Humbly receiving the preached Word of God is one means of speaking and hearing the Truth in love. But what does this look like within the context of our relationships? How do we humbly and gratefully accept reproach and admonition from others? This conversation offers wisdom and practical steps around what it looks like for us to both speak and hear the truth in love.
