Guarding our hearts against false teaching and finding unity in Christ.

We discussed how legalism often arises from false teaching, reflecting on 2 Corinthians 4:4 and the enemy’s efforts to blind hearts and minds from the truth. Together, we looked at how each Gospel reveals a unique aspect of Jesus—His humanity, servanthood, lineage, and divinity—and how this full picture strengthens our faith. We affirmed that while the enemy constantly tries to distort truth, God’s redemptive plan remains unstoppable and victorious.

We also talked about the importance of serving one master and staying rooted in our identity in Christ. False teaching can appeal to the flesh and lead to self-dependence, so we reminded ourselves of the need for constant cleansing through the Word and submission to God. We reflected on how returning to grace protects us from deception, and how humility and submission bring rest rather than striving.

Our conversation turned toward community and divine purpose, emphasizing prayer, unity, and the vital role of the local assembly in strengthening one another. We encouraged each other to keep seeking God’s will together and to stay sensitive to His Spirit’s guidance regarding future direction—whether that means a new meeting space, radio outreach, or simply continuing to grow together in grace and truth.

Themes:

• Discernment against false teaching and legalism
• The battle between the flesh and the Spirit
• Submission and humility as protection from deception
• Unity and purpose within the body of Christ
• Dependence on the Holy Spirit for direction

Scripture Reference: 2 Corinthians 4:4

Reflection Question: Where in my own walk am I still relying on self-effort instead of resting in the truth and grace found in Christ?
