What's Happening to the Church Jude 1-7 Part 1

Introduction

Matthew 7:11 NKJV

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Matthew 7:15 NKJV

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

Matthew 7:16 NKJV

You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

Matthew 7:18 NKJV

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

Matthew 7:19 NKJV

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Matthew 7:20 NKJV

Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Matthew 16:11 NKJV

How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?—but to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

Acts 20:32 NKJV

“So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

God and his truth are under attack!

The greatest assaults come from the inside.

They come from apostates

The outside is a small problem compared to the betrayal of those on the inside.

It’s not like the outside is not a problem

2 Corinthians 10:3–5 NKJV

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
