Doctrine is rejected – because it does not agree with their sinful life. Truth is forsaken – because it is too divisive. The Church is under attack, and while Jesus said He would never abandon His Church, the question is, will those who claim to be Christians abandon Christ? We will explain this further in our next sermon, “ Earnestly Contending for the Faith – Holding to the Truth in the Midst of Apostasy. ” In this sermon, we will look at the five characteristics of a false teacher and introduce a three-part sermon on “The Battle for Truth!”
