What Jesus Did When People Seemed Wrong (It's Not What You Think)

Something about someone doesn't feel right, and you can't explain why. You don't want to be suspicious or unkind. But you can't shake it either. In John 2, many people believed in Jesus. And yet Scripture says Jesus "did not commit himself unto them." He loved people, but He did not hand His heart to everyone who applauded Him. In this video we look at what it means to "try the spirits" (1 John 4:1), how to tell the difference between discernment and fear, what to do with a feeling you can't explain, and we pray together for wisdom and peace.
