Why Right Division Matters

Summary: This sermon emphasizes the critical importance of rightly dividing the word of truth, as instructed in 2 Timothy 2:15. The pastor explains how understanding the different dispensations in Scripture and applying the correct instructions for our current time is crucial for living a victorious Christian life. He contrasts the dangers of misapplying past instructions with the benefits of embracing our identity in Christ as revealed through Paul's epistles.
