Digital Fellowship: Navigating Social Media by Michael Pack

About this sermon

In a world where over 5 billion people use social media (July 2025 stats), platforms like YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and X offer incredible opportunities—but also serious dangers. These platforms are designed to feed pride, envy, comparison, lust, arguments, and the craving for likes and approval. Social media can easily lead us to seek preeminence like Diotrephes in 3 John 9, exalting ourselves instead of God or even the needs of others. As God's people, we must avoid these fleshly traps and guard our hearts (Proverbs 4:23), think before posting (Philippians 4:8), redeem the time (Ephesians 5:15-16), and fight pride with humility (Philippians 2:3; 1 Peter 5:5). However, social media isn't all bad—used wisely, it's a powerful tool for divine fellowship! Learn practical ways to encourage others, share the Gospel, pray for believers, defend the faith (1 Peter 3:15), and give God the glory in every post. Let's steward this technology intentionally and point people to Christ, not ourselves. With over 30 years in software development and a deep understanding of God’s Word, Michael Pack is uniquely qualified to address this topic.
