So, where are they going to be? Are they going to be outside trying to get in? No, they're going to be inside trying to get us out. That's the problem with false teachers. They get inside. They get into us. And we don't want to tell them they're wrong because we know them. Maybe some of them even might be a family. That's hard to do. But we need to be careful about the lord's church. It's just that important It's just that important that we try to keep our sage selves pure and uncorrupted by false teaching. What will they do then who will secretly bring in destructive heresies? A heresy is a faction or a division splitting the church. [00:46:26] (41 seconds)  #FalseTeachersInside Download clip

I'm not making this stuff up, folks. I'm not making it up. Think about Jesus and the role that he plays when he says, I am the door of the sheep. You don't get in except by him. You don't go in and out and find pasture except by him. Period. Everybody else that brings something other than what Jesus wrought and what Jesus taught is a thief. He's trying to steal something that does not belong of them. It does not belong to them. [00:50:27] (33 seconds)  #JesusIsTheDoor Download clip

So if you wanna be saved, he's the only one that you can go to. He has the words of eternal life. He's the Christ, the son of the living god. He's the bread of life and the light of the world. He's the only true door to the church, safety, security, sustenance, and salvation. The choice is yours, which would be. If you're here this morning and you're not a Christian, no need to wait another day. We'll help you. We'll help you. We'll pray for you. We have waters in the bank with free clothing available. All that we're waiting for is you to say, okay. It's gone. [01:08:05] (37 seconds)  #ChooseChristNow Download clip

God can only be approached through a priest and a sacrifice. We're studying the book of Leviticus. We'll get back to that sooner or later. But he can only be approached through a priest and a sacrifice. Jesus is both priest and sacrifice. Hebrews seven and nine verse 11 and Hebrews nine verses 12 through 14 and Hebrews 10 verse 10. That's why we can only approach god through Jesus who is our high priest and who is the final and the ultimate sacrifice for our sins and our forgiveness. First Timothy two verse five said, there's one mediator between god and man, the man Christ Jesus. First John chapter two verse one says, we have an advocate before god and the father, Christ Jesus, our lord Jesus Christ. So, he's the one mediator and he is our advocate. He represents us while we're living in life and he represents us when we go before judgement. And that ought to relieve a lot of stress and strain if we're willing to accept it.
