Introduction:

1. Danger (v1-3).

2. Damnation (v4-12).

3. Defend (v13-22).

Conclusion:

Are you in danger of being ‘scammed’ by a false teacher?

• The danger of false teachers is real.

• Their damnation is assured.

• We must defend ourselves from their fake flattery. Remember Balaam’s donkey:

• Have the courage to ask questions of your leaders – even if you feel like a donkey?

• The temptation to ignore or water down the Gospel is not going away until Christ’s return.

• Even so, Christ will save his church.
