February 23 -28 Bible Readings: 
March 1-8 Bible Readings: 

In a Nutshell:   The first truth that must be addressed is whether there are any such things as truth and false teachings.  Once that is established  you have the ominous task of figuring out what are necessary essentials to agree on and nonessential opinions we are free to disagree over.  The Bible spends more time exposing false teacher's by their fruit than it does contrasting essential beliefs vs. nonessential opinions.  No question - the Bible clearly warns us to be on guard against false teachers!

Ice Breaker:  Can you recall a conviction/belief that you had as a young person that in time you learned was inaccurate?  How did it make you feel about the Bible once you understood the truth? About the person/church that taught you inaccurately? About yourself once you figured out the truth?

Title:  “Core Beliefs”

Text: Matthew 13:24-30,36-43;  2 Peter 2:1-3; 1 John 4:1; Matthew 7:15-20;  Romans 16:17;  2 Timothy 4:3-4

Some Questions to Consider:

  1. What is the source of "weeds" in the field (the world)?
  2. What do these passages tell us about false teachings?
  3. What do these passages tell us about false teachers?
  4. What do these passages tell us about people in the churches where false teachers are attending?
  5. If there are "weeds" in the field (false teachers and false teachings in the world) then what does that say about the need for core beliefs to be taught in the home and the church?
