SERMON BY: Dr. John Waterloo
SERMON TITLE: Take heed lest any man deceive you…
SERMON THEME: Deception IS and Will Become More and More Prominent
SERMON SERIES: The Gospel by Mark
SERMON VERSES: Mark 13:4-6; 2Timothy 2:14-18; Acts 17:10-11; Hebrews 5:14
How do we protect ourselves from deception?
* Knowledge and understanding - rightly divide the Word! We need to be Berean Baptists and search the Scriptures.
* Discernment - the ability to correctly judge, i.e., the use of strong meat.
* Be wise and pick your battles - always pick the spiritual battles!
Mark 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
2Timothy 2:14-18 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Acts 17:10-11 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
