Life Examination

00:00 / 00:46:58

Bill Teubl presents a sermon on “Life Examination,” focusing on reflecting on our faith and conduct through key relationships. He structures the message around six slides with probing questions designed to help believers assess their spiritual health and growth, connecting these areas to the indwelling work of the Holy Spirit.

[00:00:00] The sermon is a “Life Examination” to reflect on fundamental beliefs and the resulting conduct, connecting this to the Spirit’s work in our lives.
[00:04:36] How do you view yourself? First, view yourself as a sinner in need of God’s mercy, not justifying yourself.

- [00:25:23] Pray together as a couple.
[00:27:39] How do you relate to parents? Honor your parents throughout your lifetime.
