Adult Class - Fall 2011
DECEPTION IN
THE CHURCH
Teacher: Jim Webber
In
Acts 20:29-30, the Apostle Paul told the Ephesians, "I know that
after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not
sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will
arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples
after them." Throughout the ages, heresies have tried to creep
into the Church and our day and age is no different.
Unfortunately, most Christians are unaware of the deception
that is being presented as the Gospel in much of the Christian
media - TV, radio, magazines and books. In this Sunday School
course, we will study the origins and teachings of some of
today's most dangerous heresies. Some of the topics we will be
examining are: the Word of Faith movement, the Health and Wealth
Gospel, Counterfeit Revivals, Restoration & Dominionism, Modern
Apostles & Prophets, Spiritual Warfare and the Emergent Church.
My
goal is that everyone in our church will be able to spot a “wolf
in sheep's clothing” when they see one at a distance - before it
enters our church. This course will encourage you to have
appropriate skepticism and equip you to recognize the telltale
signs of heresy.
