2026 Feb 15th - Morning Sermon Reflection： When Warning Is Love
When Warning Is Love
The sermon began with a strong declaration from the book of Jude: “Woe to them.” The message unfolded around one central truth—our spiritual direction matters, and the path we walk ultimately reveals where we are headed.
Through examples from history, images from nature, and references to ancient writings, the sermon kept returning to the same point: what appears appealing, easy, or harmless is not always life-giving. Discernment is necessary, even in places that feel familiar and safe.
One idea that stayed with me was the warning about hidden danger. Not every influence that feels encouraging or comfortable actually leads toward spiritual growth. Some voices sound pleasant but gradually shift our focus away from what is true.
This raised simple but honest questions for reflection: Is faith in my life a habit or a living reality? Do I welcome correction, or only affirmation? Am I growing, or merely maintaining appearances?
The sermon also used vivid natural images—clouds without rain, fruitless trees, wandering stars. Each picture described something that exists outwardly but lacks real substance. It was a reminder that spiritual life is known by its fruit, not by its form.
Although the theme of judgment can feel heavy, the overall tone of the message felt purposeful rather than harsh. A loving warning does not ignore danger; it points it out clearly so that people may return to the right path.
A simple prayer remains after listening: to stay teachable, to remain attentive, and to keep walking faithfully.
Faith is not only a belief we hold—it is a direction we follow.
