This is an insert to my book, "The Narrow Road" on Amazon.The sermon discusses how lawlessness, defined as the rejection of biblical authority and moral order, is increasingly evident in society and even within churches, leading to confusion and chaos.

Danger: Disguised, Deadly Deceivers! - Matthew 7:15-20 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 18, 2024

It is God’s design that we follow leaders. But the false ones deceive and lead away from the narrow road to hell. The way to see past the sheep’s clothing to the actual fruit is by watching for the things that come from the heart and that are not a part of the act.

Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears ...read more
