Who You're With Matters | Immanuel

Aug 23, 2026    Pastor John Conway

Are you being shaped by the relationships around you, or are you the one shaping them toward Christ? In this message, Pastor John Conway walks through Joshua 9 and the story of the Gibeonites to show how deception, unexamined commitments, and unequal partnerships can quietly steer us away from God, and how His nature is always to bring restoration.


He unpacks five levels of relationship Paul names in 2 Corinthians 6, partnership, fellowship, unity, participation, and pact, and challenges us to examine our hearts before the Holy Spirit rather than committing to people or partnerships without first consulting Him.


If you have ever felt deceived, unequally yoked, or unsure whether the people in your life are drawing you closer to Jesus or further away, this message will invite you to bring every relationship under the Holy Spirit's examination and trust God to restore what feels broken.
