Sermon # 32 - The Robe Of Repentance Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 5, 2024

The church has the task to root out those who profess faith in Christ, but in reality they are faking their faith in order to destroy the church

As we consider the sea of apostasy around us and the effectiveness of faith fakers activity in today's church, it seems as though the church has little hope in stemming the tide. But according to the book of Jude, not only can we stem the tide, we can take positive action to deal directly with ...read more
