The Community Church Movement

The Scripture says, “But the truth and sell it not” (Prov. 23:23). There is a high premium placed on the truth of God in the Scriptures because of its power to make us free from sin (Jn. 8:32). No matter what the cost is to us, we must make sure that we have the truth, and that we are living by it. In this series of lessons, we have been looking at various doctrines of men and comparing those with the Word of God. Today we are going to look at the errors of the community church movement.
