The Message of the Church Is Grounded in the Word of God – v.8 ,9a

• Jude 1:3
• Matthew 24:35
• Isaiah 40:8
• John 17:17

The Message of the Church Is Sweet Salvation for Some and Bitter Condemnation for Others – v.9b-11

• Ezekiel 2:9 – 3:3, 14
• 1 Corinthians 1:18–24

So What?

• We must ensure that our church never deviates from the message of the gospel that the Lord has entrusted to us.
