WITHSTANDING THE WOLVES
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Withstanding The Wolves
Matthew 7:15
15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
a) Imagine a strong church in a big city with several elders shepherding the flock. Among its ministers was the great apostle Paul, who stayed and worked with this congregation for three years. Sounds like a pretty good church, and no doubt it was. It was the church in Ephesus. However, following his ministry there, Paul called together the elders. What he said to them echoes what Jesus himself had once said, "Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves" (Matthew 7:15).
b) Paul said, "I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock, and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them" (Acts 20:28-31).
