THEME: BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHINGS

THEME: BEWARE OF FALSE TEACHINGS

Deuteronomy 34:1-12;

1 Thessalonians 2:1-8;

Matthew 22:34-46.

 

Introduction:

Good morning, brothers and sisters. Today, I we will reflect on the theme about the importance of guarding against false teachings in our faith journey. We will draw inspiration from Deuteronomy 34:1-12, 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8, and Matthew 22:34-46. Let us start by looking at these passages.

 

I. Deuteronomy 34:1-12

In Deuteronomy, we read about the end of Moses' life and his faithful leadership. Moses was a true prophet of God, who led the Israelites out of Egypt and through the wilderness. His life and teachings were grounded in God's truth. However, even Moses had to pass the torch to Joshua. This transition highlights the importance of recognizing that no human leader, no matter how wise, is infallible. We should always prioritize the truth of God's Word over the teachings of any individual.

 

II. 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8

The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Thessalonians, emphasizes the authenticity of his ministry. He and his fellow missionaries did not preach with deceit or impure motives. Instead, they were gentle, caring, and shared the Gospel with a deep love for the people they served. This passage reminds us to be discerning when it comes to our spiritual leaders. Authentic, God-fearing leaders should be recognized by their motives, humility, and love for the truth.

 

III. Matthew 22:34-46

In this Gospel passage, the Pharisees attempted to test Jesus by asking Him about the greatest commandment. Jesus responded with the two greatest commandments: to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and to love our neighbors as ourselves. This teaching reflects the essence of God's truth. It reminds us that at the core of our faith is love and devotion to God. Any teaching that leads us away from these fundamental principles should be approached with caution.

 

Practical Application:

 

Study the Scriptures: To guard against false teachings, immerse yourself in the Word of God. Regularly study and meditate on His Word to gain a deeper understanding of His truth.

 

Test the Spirits: 1 John 4:1 urges us to test every spirit to see if it is from God. When you encounter new teachings or spiritual leaders, assess them against the foundational truths of the Bible.

 

Seek Discernment: Ask the Holy Spirit for discernment. Pray for wisdom to recognize and reject any teachings that are contrary to God's Word.

 

Hold Leaders Accountable: Support and respect your spiritual leaders, but also hold them accountable. Ensure that they lead with integrity, love, and a commitment to God's truth.

 

Love and Unity: Embrace the commandment of love. Show love and unity within your faith community, for it is through love that we demonstrate the authenticity of our faith.

 

Conclusion:

In conclusion, brothers and sisters, the Scriptures remind us of the importance of guarding against false teachings. We are to hold fast to the timeless truths of God's Word and test everything against it. Let us remember the examples of Moses and Paul, and the teachings of Jesus, to navigate our faith journey with wisdom, discernment, and love. May God guide us and protect us from deception as we walk in His truth. Amen.

THEME: "The Vital Role of Evangelism: Nourishing the Church"

TEACHING SERVICE ON EVANGELISM 

Introduction:

Good morning, beloved congregation. Today, we gather to explore the profound truth that a church that does not engage in evangelism dries up. It is a sobering thought, but it is rooted in the very essence of our faith. We will delve into the Word of God to understand the importance of evangelism and how it sustains and nourishes our church.

Scripture Reading:

Let us begin with a reading from the Holy Scriptures, Matthew 28:18-20:

"Then Jesus came to them and said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'"

I. The Great Commission:

In these verses, we encounter the Great Commission, a commandment given to us by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He instructs us to go into the world, sharing the gospel, making disciples, and baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This commission is a foundational principle of our faith and a call to evangelize.

II. The Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:3-9):

Another significant passage is the Parable of the Sower. In this parable, Jesus teaches us about the different types of soil that receive the seed of the Word. Some soil is unproductive, but other soil is fertile and produces abundant fruit. Evangelism is like sowing the seed, and the more we sow, the more fruitful our church becomes.

III. The Church as the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-14):

1 Corinthians 12 reminds us that the church is the body of Christ, with each member playing a unique role. Evangelism is not the task of a select few but a responsibility of the entire body. When we engage in evangelism, we strengthen the body of Christ.

IV. The Church's Spiritual Nourishment:

The church is not a building but a living, breathing entity. Just as our physical bodies require nourishment to thrive, the church requires spiritual nourishment to grow and flourish. Evangelism brings new believers into the fold, infusing the body with fresh faith and energy.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, dear brothers and sisters, evangelism is not an optional activity for the church. It is a commandment, a responsibility, and a means of nourishing the body of Christ. As we go forth to share the good news, remember that we are not only fulfilling the Great Commission but also sustaining the life and vibrancy of our church. May we continue to be faithful and obedient, for as we do, our church will not dry up but will thrive and bear fruit for the glory of God. Amen.
