In this sermon, Pastor Rick Temple challenges believers to recognize that sincerity and confidence do not automatically make their conclusions correct, using Saul’s persecution of the early church as an example of someone who was completely convinced yet sincerely wrong. He emphasizes that spiritual growth requires humility—the willingness to examine inherited beliefs, recognize how wrong conclusions affect others, and reconsider our thinking when God confronts what we believe.

Hey, you all (in my deep southern accent), It’s been a while. I am up and reaching out. How goes your world? My world is progressing along and doing well. I just finished a book project on how to get along with people you love and deal with. It’s called “Relationship Gumbo: The Guilt-Free Recipe to Manage Love and Relationships.”

It’s for married, single, and anyone who wants to know how to resolve conflict and get along with people without the unnecessary tension of guilt and strife. We will be releasing it at the beginning of the year. Would this book help you?
