We're starting a series today called Red Flags.

And I want to read a few verses of scripture found in the book of John, chapter number 13, beginning at verse number 21.

I'm reading from the new international version.

Y'all flow with me here.

It says after this, he had said, after he said this excuse me Jesus was troubled

in spirit and testified very truly I tell you one of you listen to this is going to betray me

his disciples stared at one another at a loss to know which one of him he

meant. And one of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved was reclining next to him. Simon Peter

motioned to this disciple and said, ask him which one he means. Leaning back against Jesus, he

asked him, Lord, who is it?

Jesus answered, it's the one to whom I'll give this piece of bread when I've dipped it in the dish.

Then dipping the bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscaria. And as soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered him.

So Jesus told him, what you are about to do?

Do quickly.

Family, it's going to take me several weeks to finish this series of sermons called Red Flags, which is a series on biblical

discernment. But it's going to take me two weeks just to finish this first sermon. So don't get

nervous when you only get half the points today. All right. I'm talking from this subject family,

six traits. I'm going to see if I can get an amen here of toxic people.

I need you to clap your hands better than that at every location.

Six traits of toxic people.

Family, I want to ease into this introduction with an axiom that I was exposed to several years ago.

And it resonates with me to this day.
