Simple Obedience Wins!


‘Simple Obedience Wins.’
Isaiah 20:1.
a)   Sargon was the very esteemed king of Assyria.
b)   His name means “only king” or “true king”.
c)   He sent his military commander in chief to fight against Ashdod.
d)   The commander went to Ashdod.
e)   The commander captured Ashdod.

‘False Teachers Create Chaos.’
2 Peter 2:1.
a)   Deuteronomy 13:1-3; 18:20; Jeremiah 28:15-17. In the past days (of the Old Testament) there were false prophets amongst the people.
b)   It was the same in the days of the New Testament and it is the same today.
c)   There are false prophets and false teachers.
d)   They teach things that are wrong and cause people to be lost.
e)   Their teaching can be deceptive, so near to the Truth.
f)   They refuse to simply follow the Lord Jesus and in so doing destroy themselves.
(This Second one reminds me that False Teachers Create Chaos)
