A Little Leaven Liberty Church

Karie Brown updates us on her mission work. David Vaughan speaks from Galatians 5:1-15, highlighting verse 9. Galatians 5:9: A little leaven leavens the whole lump. • Doctrine is a sacred trust of the Church. (1 Tim 3:15, 1 Tim 6:20, 1 Tim 1:1-3, 2 Tim 2:2, 2 Tim 1:13-14) • Doctrine is a mark of devotion to Jesus. (John 8:31-36, John 14:15, 21-25, 2 Cor 11:3-4) • Doctrine determines worship – false doctrine leads to idolatry. (Romans 1:18-23) • Doctrine determines practice – idolatry leads to immorality. (Romans 1:18, 2 Tim 2:15-17) The nature of God is important. If you have a different Jesus, then you are worshipping a different God. Liberty Church
