The Sunday chool Lesson by John R Brayhoy Sai.em Missionary Baptist Church Hold to Sound Teaching Rev. 2:18-29 I Embrace Truth's Source (Rev 2:18) II Be Discerning (Rev 2 19) III Reject False Teaching (Rc\ 2:20-23) IV. Follow Sound Teaching (Rc\ 2:24-25) V. Be Encouraged (Rc\ 2 26-29) I. Embrace Truth's Source (Rev. 2:18) In today's world if ever there was a time for the church to hold to sound teaching, it is now With cults and also religionsall around, people need to know the truth, especially the people of God John, the w riter. gives the church at Thyatira another aspect of Jesus He refers to Him as the Son of God. the eternal logos, the truth, the light and the way./ John described his eyes as flames of fire revealing that He can penetrate the heart and soul of man The fine brass reveals the glory of Christ //. Re Discerning (Rev. 2:19) Jesus knew the work of the saints at Thyatira Their love for othcrsand the willingness to serve They were a church of great faith, trusting in God. while they endured All these things in Thyatira cause them not to be as alert as they ought to have been Sometimes we can have a tendency to let lose overshadow w rong in our lives and others There is a thin line between love and w rong and most of the time, if we arc not careful, love will keep us from seeing the w rong. HI. Reject False Teaching (Rev. 2:20-23) Nevertheless. Jesus had some things that He saw wrong with the church at Thyatira_ False teaching had entered the church by one who called herselfa prophetess This false teacher was teaching that they could practice some immorality and serve God. That is not true, has neverbcen true, and will never be so I am alwavs.ama/cd at how main church people vv ill accept \s horing a little bit and be active in church . but someone with a marriage problem Irving to live godl> thev want to cast aside When churches allow fornication to goon in the church We are violating the word of God. especialK w hen we do not speak out against it God pronounced judgment on the prophetess and those who were following her teachings There is not an excuse for the child of God to gel caught up in cults or false teaching because we have God s word and the Holv Spirit to lead us into all truth The judgment that God pronounced on Jc/cbcl would conic to pass if she did not repent Also all those who were influenced b> her teaching Thev would bean example for other churches to see the result of the judgment of sin /I'. Follow Sound Teaching (Rev. 2:24-25) Christ's message to the faithful followers of Thvatira was that He would not put anv other burden upon them Thev had not followed the false doctrine, neither had thev delved into the depths of the devil's ways Therefore. Christ's instruction for ihcni was to hold fast to the truth Contrary to vv hat sonic may say. dabbling in sin is not pleasing to Holv God He wants us to live holv. pure and righteous .. V. He Encouraged (Rev. 2:26-29) Those that are faithful Jesus has promised power over nations The ovcrcomcrs arc conquerors through Christ The saints of God who are faithful will become rulers with Him Not only that but those who arc faithful will have an everlasting fellowship with Christ the morning star The message for all churches is to be aware of the dangersof false doctrine. and the judgment of God that will follow. if they fail to repent God simply wants His people to do right, to be an example to,a lost and dying world , To the unsaved there is no new revelation, but the simc truth that you need to be born again The judgment of God rested upon you waiting for God to execute it HE is giv ing vou space to repent before He cxcculcsjudgmcnt Repent ofyoursins Ask God to forgive you and accept , Jesus Christ as>oulf savior now He , wants to be our savtor now One day T4e w ill be judge of all who refuse to accept Him as savior God bless you all until next week Pray for us [Vest Robeson Church at "the Forks'* by Envin Jacobs, Member This is the second article about West Robeson United Methodist Church's activities.
