Sermon of the Week
Turn From False Teachers
The Community Baptist Church of Fargo is blessed to have a preacher like Doug VanderMeulen. In this sermon he points people to Christ, the Truth, and away from himself. He counsels his people to test the spirits, including his own. He points out that everyone has the potential for serious error and that all should be held up to the light of scripture.
But he goes further. He is determined that his flock should understand what has come to be known as Christian doctrine. He regards it as essential that they should know the theology behind the faith. He is ready to go into the great confessions of the faith and encourages people to read the saints of the past in order to get their bearings and to see how Christ, their Lord, has worked in the church over the ages.
Or, they could sing 7/11 songs, have a 15 minute sermon on how to live a happy and fulfilled life and go home to their other activities. Not! Here's pastor VanderMeulen....
Turn From False Teachers - Doug VaderMuelen
His text:
Romans 16:17-20: I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive. 19 For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
