"My Truth" Isn't the Truth
Dr. Frank Turek explains why the statement "My Truth" is a false and misleading concept in this insightful message from Grace Community Church's series "It's Who We Are."
Dive Deeper into the message with these discussion questions!
General:
- Our culture point “Classroom” emphasizes that we are called to grow in knowledge and be equipped (Ephesians 4). What does it mean to you to be a “lifelong learner” in your faith? Why is this important?
- Ephesians 4:14-15 tells us to grow in maturity so that we are not “tossed back and forth by every wind of teaching.” What are some ways we can equip ourselves to discern and defend truth in today’s world?
- How does today’s culture shape the way people think about truth and Christianity? How does postmodern relativism fit into this, and how can we lovingly present truth in a way that reaches people where they are?
- How would you define “truth,” and why does it matter so much in the Christian faith?
- Why do you think so many people today struggle with the concept of absolute truth? Have you encountered statements like “there’s no such thing as truth” or “that’s just your truth” in conversations?
- Have you ever been in a situation where someone told you, “That may be true for you, but not for me”? How did you respond, or how might you respond now after hearing Dr. Turek’s message?
- Jesus said in John 14:6, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.’ What does this statement say about the nature of truth, and how does it contrast with the way truth is often viewed in our culture?
- Who is Jesus to you?
- Dr. Frank Turek distinguished between ‘belief that’ (intellectual acceptance of evidence for Christianity) and ‘belief in’ (personal trust in Jesus). According to John 20:30-31, both are important. How do you see these two aspects of faith working together?
- When and how does doubt creep into your faith journey?
- A common idea is, “You shouldn’t judge others.” Why is this statement self-contradictory? How do we balance standing for truth while avoiding a judgmental attitude?
- What’s the difference between judgmental and giving a judgement?
- Why do you think some people reject Christianity even if they acknowledge it could be true? How should we respond to those who resist in a way that reflects Christ?
- This week, how can you apply what you learned from this message? (Starting a conversation? Studying more? Preparing to answer tough questions?)
