Sermon on False Teachers — Sermon outline by Tom Moore from Jude 8-10 on false teachers and false teaching.

INTRODUCTION: Read 1 Corinthians 4:6

1. In dealing with the Corinthian brethren’s tendency to render judgment upon one another based on the wisdom of men Paul gives a basic principle that needs to be heeded today as much as ever.

2. The need for this principle is seen in the great division in the religious world today.

3. The principle implies this:

1) God’s written word is FINAL on any matter it teaches. John 17:17

2) The wisdom of man is insufficient. Jeremiah 10:23

4. To understand why we must not go beyond what is written we must understand:

1) The nature of what is written.

2) The effects of going beyond what is written.

3) The rewards of not going beyond what is written.

INTRODUCTION: Read Matt. 4:12-17

1. Jesus begins His ministry.

1) Returns to Nazareth (family concerns?)

2) Moves to Capernaum to begin.

2. At the beginning of His ministry He again fulfills prophecy.

3. He is the LIGHT that is to come to the region.

INTRODUCTION

A. Matthew 7:24-29

1. As this passage begins with “therefore” it is certain these statements of the Lord are rooted in the preceding passage.

2. In fact, they are a fitting conclusion to the entire “Sermon on the Mount.”

3. If we do not put these sayings of Christ to practice, i.e. the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, our spiritual house will fall in this life and come to utter ruin in the world to come.
