Local Churches Were Warned Against Dangers Acts 20: Peter 2:1-2 Revelation 2:4-5

1. Lack of Knowledge/Growth The religion of Jehovah has always been a taught religion. Old Testament: fathers taught their children, priests taught the people. Apostles were to teach disciples to obey the commands of Christ (Matt. 28:19-20). Those who were taught were to teach others (2 Tim. 2:2).

1. Lack of Knowledge/Growth Ephesians 4:11-16 God gave the local church teachers, members are to come to a level of knowledge. 2 Peter – a letter that warns of false teachers also admonishes spiritual growth (1:2, 5-11, 3:18).

1. Lack of Knowledge/Growth Sermons must be based upon and full of Scripture. “Preach the Word!” (2 Tim. 4:2). Not stories, ideas, fads, fluff, or philosophy. Need more time talking about the meaning of the text instead of what the text means to me.

1. Lack of Knowledge/Growth Bible Classes are to be taught by capable men and women. The Bible is to be taught. Not a time for speculation, brainstorming, or “playing devil’s advocate.” Not a time to join in a round-table discussion, open-forum debate.

1. Lack of Knowledge/Growth New Converts need to be taught the commands of Christ. Grounded in the truth. Encouraged to a higher level of participation.

1. Lack of Knowledge/Growth Young People need to be taught the Word of God early and often. Well grounded in evidences. Taught to be content to walk in the old paths (Jer. 6:16).

2. Worldliness 1 John 2: Peter 2:11-12 Philippians 3:20 Matthew 6:19-21, 24, 33

3. Lack of Discipline Acts 5:5, 10 2 Thessalonians 3:6, Timothy 5:20 1 Corinthians 5:1-7

3. Lack of Discipline “Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11

3. Lack of Discipline 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. Revelation 2:20-21
