PASTOR WAYNE WRITES:
In Galatians 1:6, the Apostle Paul challenged his readers, “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel.” Although it was through Paul’s voice that they had heard the gospel:
· They weren’t just turning away from him; they were turning away from Christ and following the voice of those troubling them.
· They weren’t turning away from Paul’s version of the gospel; they were turning away from the only gospel and embracing an illegitimate perversion of it.
There is something about the message of the true gospel that is deeply offensive to human nature. When we understand how offensive it is, we can better understand why there are so many perversions of it today.
To turn from the true faith and embrace the devil’s lie is called apostasy. We will explain this further in our next sermon, “Earnestly Contending for the Faith – Holding to the Truth in the Midst of Apostasy.” In this sermon, we will look at “The Corruption of Truth.” (Jude 1-25)
If you view the sermon on our INTERACTIVE WEBSITE: www.theheritagechurch.org, Click on the sermon title on the second page, and you will find the sermon study guide in another format, so you can follow it on the screen as you listen.
THANK YOU for forwarding these sermon study guides to those you think might be interested.

PASTOR WAYNE’S NEWS CLIPS
Dear Fellow Watchmen,
While the Bible tells us we are to seek peace and pursue it, as Jesus could certainly testify, “in the world, you will have tribulation.” Jesus was not referring to the “time of Tribulation,” as in “Jacob’s Trouble,” but rather the lack of peace that has pervaded the world since Genesis 3, and will continue to do so until Revelation 19.
One of the major characteristics of today’s “tribulation” confusion, and the author of the turmoil and disorder in which we live today must be very happy, for if we allow the uncertainty of our times to weaken our faith in God, he has achieved his goal.
May I encourage you to memorize Proverbs 3:5-6, and before you turn on the news to see what is, and isn’t happening in the world, just personalize these words:
“Today, I will trust in the Lord with ALL my heart, and I WILL NOT lean upon my own understanding of what is, and isn’t going on in the world, and why, but in all my ways, and in everything I do today, I will obey the Lord, and allow Him to guide my path.”
Please forward these news stories, opinion pieces and other articles to those you think might be interested in reading them. Pastor Wayne
