We love the Bible, and we love our church.
We’re having a ton of fun, but we aren’t just playing around.

Last week’s Teaching:
How Do You Prepare Yourself Not to Believe the Great Lie?
How Do You Prepare Yourself Not to Believe the Great Lie?
What if the greatest threat to your faith isn’t persecution, but deception?
The Bible warns that a time of extraordinary deception is coming. A time when lies may appear loving, convincing, religious, or even supernatural. How can we prepare ourselves and our families to recognize the truth?
In this message, we explore 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 and examine what the Bible says about the coming great delusion, the man of lawlessness, and Satan’s strategies to deceive the world.
In this sermon, you’ll discover:
Why Paul warned Christians about a coming great deception.
Three ways deception could appear in our world.
How an appeal to good things like love, religion, and even miraculous signs can be used to mislead people.
Why people sometimes believe lies, not because they lack intelligence, but because they don’t love the truth.
Practical ways to prepare your heart to recognize and resist deception.
The big takeaway: The person safest from deception isn’t necessarily the smartest person. It’s the person who loves the truth.
You don’t have to live in fear of the future. Jesus has already told us how the story ends. When He returns, every lie will collapse.
Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12
