Speaker: Adam Godshall
Series: 2 Thessalonians: Be Faithful Until Christ Returns
Text: 2 Thessalonians 2:9-13
Theme: Don't Be Unsettled when Unbelievers Reject Christian Faith and Its Foundation of Biblical Truth

One: What is apostasy?

  • to depart; to forsake; to rebel against.

  • The Visible Church = as Christians see it; those who claim to be Christian and give evidence of it.
  • The Invisible Church = as God sees it; those who repent & believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord
  • Examples of apostasy: Judas and Demas

Four: What should characterize our response to apostasy?

  • Humility
  • Prayer
  • Truth

...they refused to love the truth and be saved ~ 2 Thessalonians 2:10
