The Truth

III. Our Church AsThe Pillar And Ground of The Truth

1. You may be the only glimpse of the church people see. Do they see the truth?

2. Our culture is abandoning the truth, there is a great need for you to be a pillar of the truth.

3. Church is not a game. Don’t play ‘kick the church’.4. Develop a high view of the local church, so that

when you hear the word ‘church’ you think …5. Churches that do not hold to the truth of God’s

word are false churches.
