"The Great Apostasy"

Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox

Sunday's Sermon: "The Great Apostasy"

2 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Rioting in the streets, looting, murder, anarchists laying claim to chunks of urban areas. Closing churches, opening bars. Evil is called good, and good is called evil. Massive fear and confusion grip our land. It all begs the question: "Is the return of Jesus imminent?" In other words, could he return at any moment? What Scripture has to say is what's important. Prior to the "day of the Lord," two things must happen: A certain event must take place, and a certain person must appear. The event, the great apostasy (or defection) within the visible church; the person, the emergence of the Antichrist. Sunday, we consider the first of these two. Plan to join us for "The Great Apostasy."
