I. God entrusts men with the Gospel!
A. Paul’s Gospel was from the Father and the Son by faith (vs. 1 & 4c).
B. Paul’s Gospel was filled with healing power & glory (vs. 10c-11).
C. Paul’s Gospel produced true love (vs. 5).
II. But certain persons twist the Gospel.
A. Certain persons in Ephesus taught a different doctrine, a different Gospel (vs. 3 & 4c)
B. Certain persons in Ephesus twisted the Scripture (vs. 3-4).
C. Certain persons in Ephesus acted against proper order (vs. 6-7).
III. This common problem calls for pastoral care!
A. All churches face this problem (vs. 3).
B. False doctrine must be stopped (vs. 3).
C. Biblical truth must be spread (vs. 8-11).
Questions for consideration: (1) Why would the Lord entrust the Gospel to sinners like you & me? (2) What does the Gospel do for people? What does false doctrine do to people? (3) How can you help Christ Church avoid false doctrine & spread biblical truth?
