Jude 8-11

“Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves. You’ll recognize them by their fruit…Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.”

Matthew 7:15-16, 21 (CSB)

 A FALSE TEACHER CHOOSES…

 1.    REASON OVER _____________________. (11a)

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” II Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)

“For we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ… Above all, you know this: No prophecy of Scripture comes from the prophet’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” II Peter 1:16a, 20 (CSB)

2.   MATERIAL OVER ____________________. (11b)

“…You have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block in front of the Israelites: to eat meat sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.” Revelation 2:14 (CSB)

 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, and also to the Greek.”  Romans 1:16 (CSB)

3.    PERSONAL GLORY OVER ___________________. (11c)

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time.” I Peter 5:6 (CSB)
