Chaplain Daniel Whipple – “Love and Truth” – Verdugo Community Church May 18, 2025

In his sermon, “Love and Truth,” Chaplain Daniel Whipple looks at the promise in John 14 that the Holy Spirit would bring Jesus’s words and deeds to mind in his followers. He points out that this has been an ongoing gift. Although the Gospels were written down years later, then copied and translated over the centuries, they retain their truth and power. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to help us discern what we see or hear is true and whether is leads us to Jesus. One way to decide if a statement about Jesus is true is to remember that Jesus refused every offer of political or military power, and always called for loving and helping others. We need to follow the example of Jesus’s life and teaching and not be distracted by the false calling of the world.
