Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church
We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.

TODAY'S POINTS:

1) Test the spirits

2) Test #1: It's all about Jesus.

3) Test #2: Listening & believing

“Neither Christian believing nor Christian loving is to be indiscriminate. In particular, Christian faith is not to be mistaken for credulity. True faith examines its object before reposing confidence in it.”
‌—John Stott, The Letters of John

“The gospel is news of what has happened. The problem of communicating it in a pluralist society is that it simply disappears into the undifferentiated ocean of information. It represents one opinion among millions of others. It cannot be “the truth,” since in a pluralist society truth is not one but many. It may be “true for you,” but it cannot be true for everyone. To claim that it is true for everyone is simply arrogance. It is permitted as one opinion among many.”
‌—Lesslie Newbigin, The Gospel in a Pluralist Society

“The Greater Spirit, the Holy Spirit, is in you, and He is greater than he who is in the world. Is the world strong? Yes, but our God is infinitely stronger! Are false prophets wise? Yes, but our God is infinitely wiser! Is Satan great? Yes, but our God is infinitely greater! And this One who is infinitely stronger, wiser, and greater now and forever ‘is in you!’”
‌—Daniel Akin, Exalting Jesus in 1, 2, 3 John

For discussion this week:

— Have you ever been lied to? How did that make you feel?
— Why is it so important to get Jesus "right?"
