Today’s Sermon Outline:
DOES IT MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE?
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
(John 8:32)
Introduction: When it comes to being right with God, sincerity is necessary,
but not enough. Only the truth will set you free, not what you feel is truth.
Truth is not as ambiguous as people make it out to be.
1. TRUTH IS _______________________________________________:
a. What you believe is either true, or it isn’t.
b. Truth applies to everyone.
MINISTER
Jon Rowe
2.
TRUTH IS _______________________________________________:
a. It is not determined by majority opinion.
b. It is usually in the minority.
3.
TRUTH IS _______________________________________________:
a. It can withstand intense scrutiny.
b. Beliefs cannot be based on a feeling.
