A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from 1 Timothy 4:1-5. We don’t often hear the word apostasy today, especially outside the church. The cultural buzzword is deconstruction. The vocabulary may have changed, but the reality remains the same. That’s exactly what Paul warned Timothy about in Ephesus, and it’s exactly what we need to hear today. Big Idea: While some in the church will abandon the faith, the church must stand firm on God’s truth and enjoy His good gifts with gratitude. Expect Apostasy in the Church (1a) Expose Apostasy for What It Is (1b-3) Equip Yourself Against Apostasy (2, 3b-5)
