Pastor Rick Jackson
For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell
you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: - Philippians

I. THEIR TARGETS – CHRISTIANS (THE CHURCH)

he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle,
or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Colossians 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to
present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Colossians 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and
teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in
Christ Jesus:
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a
workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
