How does the Lord show mercy to those who prefer human wisdom to God's authoritative Word? Isaiah 30 prepares us for the first serial reading in public worship on the Lord's Day. In these thirty-three verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that if men prefer their own wisdom to God's Word, it is a mercy when God visits their plans with devastating failure.

Many claim to believe in Jesus Christ, but do not hold fast to Him. They perhaps have said a prayer, but they fall prey to false teachings, are surprised by suffering and eventually they turn away from the Lord. Here the Apostle closes the letter with his personal autograph, again, encouraging the church by what he says in order that they may persevere in their faith to the very end!

What must a pastor do, in addition to affirming the truth? Titus 3:9–11 prepares us for the second serial reading in public worship on the Lord's Day. In these three verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that in addition to affirming the truth, a pastor must avoid uses of the Bible that are not in keeping with the Bible.

"Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained, but happy is he who keeps the Law" Proverbs 29:18 Sadly this verse has been misused to support pseudo spiritual endeavors, hybrids of Christianity and entrepreneurial aspirations. It is a timely verse for the Church as it calls us back to preaching the Word and showing us the true way of blessing in Christ!

Falling on the last Sunday in the month of October every year, this Lord's Day is known as "Reformation Sunday." Within the Reformed tradition it's when we acknowledge and celebrate the work Jesus Christ did for His church through the Reformers. In this week's sermon we continue our examination of the pastors charge to protect God's flock found in Titus 1:10-16, a charge that implies there is indeed an inherit threat & danger. We will focus more specifically at the pastor's role to rebuke false teachers encountered within the church as outlined in Titus 1:12-14. Are there many such false teachers for us to be worried about? What do false teachers look like and what sorts of unbiblical things do they espouse today in our Western and progressive culture? What are the reasons for rebuking a false teacher? We pray you'll join us this week for "The Shepherd's Rod (Part II)" as we seek biblical answers and look to honor God through preaching the truth of His Word.

Our Lord is expecting his church to confront false teaching and to not tolerate it in our midst.

Once we establish what is meant by the reference to "the just" we go on to consider the message of our Proverb and see how it reflects upon culture and societies, including that of our own day. And how we should then live... Also Reference: Isaiah 5:20 https://bbfohio.com

Since God judges the ungodly and mercifully saves the godly, we should be discerning to resist all false teaching.

In this week's sermon we examine one of the many duty's pastors have such as the responsibility to protect God's flock, implying there is an inherit threat & danger. More specifically we will look at the pastor's role to protect the flock from false shepherds within the church as outlined in Titus 1:10-11. Do so called prosperity "shepherd's" such as Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar and many others adhere to the true gospel? Or are they simply our generations false teachers, our version of wolves merely posing as shepherds? Are these teachers a threat that we should just ignore or are they to be rebuked? Join us this week for "The Shepherd's Rod (Part I)" as we seek biblical answers and look to glorify God through preaching the truth of His Word.

Holiness matters because Christ is our Master and Lord.

The Lord Jesus taught the crowd how to see false teachers, and God's judgment. They crave being somebody and being honored. (v.38-39 and 40b) They use religion to hide their greed, and their taking advantage of others. (v.40a) They will receive God's judgment, which we all deserve. (v.40c) What was one of the last topics on which Jesus taught? How are positions to be used? Luke 12:48, Mark 10:44-45 How can we distinguish? Mt. 7:13, 1 Thess. 2:5-6 Why does God judge false teachers severely? Jms 3:1 Mark 9:42-50
