On this episode listen to an audio production of John Wesley’s sermon from Matthew 7:15-20. This sermon was accessed from the Wesley Center Online and was edited by Kristen Chamberlain with corrections by Ryan Danker and George Lyons for the Wesley Center for Applied Theology. The Wesley Center Online website is a collection of historical and scholarly resources about the Wesleyan Tradition, theology, Christianity, and the Nazarene church hosted by the Wesley Center for Applied Theology at Northwest Nazarene University. We are thankful for the work of Richard Thompson in overseeing this repository. In this message, “Upon Our Lord’s Sermon on the Mount: Discourse Twelve,” [https://wesley.nnu.edu/john-wesley/the-sermons-of-john-wesley-1872-edition/sermon-32-upon-our-lords-sermon-on-the-mount-discourse-twelve/] we encounter a powerful message and warning to Christians for every generation. Wesley unpacks Jesus’ warning in Matthew 7:15-20: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits." Wesley challenges us to discern truth from deception, cautioning against leaders who appear righteous yet lead others astray with teachings that veer from Christ’s narrow path of humility, love, and holiness. He calls for careful examination of the fruits of their lives and doctrines, urging listeners to hold fast to the true way of salvation and bring all teachings to the test of Scripture.   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here [https://learning.nazarene.org/]to learn about Lifelong Learning   *this episode was created with the help of AI*
