Sermon Overview — Difficult Days Demand Discernment
In this sermon from February 8, 2026, Pastor Charles Swann preaches from 1 John 4 as part of a series on Discernment in Troubled Times. The message centers on how Christians are called to live with spiritual clarity and wisdom in the midst of cultural confusion and moral challenges. Pastor Swann reminds listeners that difficult seasons require believers to ground their thinking and actions in Scripture rather than merely following the world’s shifting opinions. He encourages the church to pursue discernment actively—praying for it, studying God’s Word, and remaining faithful to Christ’s teachings so that they might honor God with their words, decisions, and daily lives. The sermon underscores that true discernment is rooted in a deep relationship with Jesus and a commitment to His truth, especially when the world feels uncertain or opposed to biblical faith.
