Holding On To Truth

“Holding On To Truth” is the second message in the “In With The New” series, calling us to let go of the old habit of redefining truth and embrace the new way of building our lives on God’s unchanging Word. In a culture that is constantly shifting—where truth is often shaped by feelings, opinions, and trends—followers of Jesus are challenged to stand on something firmer. What feels right today may not hold when life gets heavy, but God’s truth never changes.

Jesus declares in John 14:6 that He is “the way and the truth and the life.” Truth is not something we invent to fit our circumstances; it is something we receive from God. When truth is anchored in feelings, it drifts. When it is anchored in Scripture, it stands firm. As Psalm 119 reminds us, God’s Word is eternal, reliable, and trustworthy.

This message also looks to Daniel, who resolved to honor God before pressure ever arrived. His story shows us that faith isn’t accidental—it’s a daily decision to choose truth over convenience. While feelings are real, Scripture warns us they are not reliable guides. God calls His people to test what they hear, walk in wisdom, and rely on His Word rather than their own understanding.

Ultimately, God’s Word provides what culture never can: stability, direction, and transformation. When life applies pressure, truth determines what holds. This sermon challenges us to anchor our lives in Scripture before culture defines us—and to pray daily, “Jesus, let Your truth guide me.” Because culture will shift, opinions will change, but God’s Word will always stand.
