Podcasts about false teachers

Just because it sounds spiritual doesn't mean it's true. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans explains how false teaching twists grace into a license to sin—and why guarding the truth is part of your calling.

In this sermon on the topic of false teachers infiltrating the Church, Pastor Nathan shows how God knows how to bring justice to evil and to bring salvation to his people all at once

In today's episode, we will be going over spiritual warfare, discernment, how to get discernment, deception, and things that we need to be aware of that are going on in the world right now.

Here is wisdom for the local church in every generation and in every place. Let no one say that scripture is out of date. Calvin, when dedicating his commentary to the Duke of Somerset in 1556 called this letter"highly relevant to our times". All these years later, we can make the same claim.

Only about 20% actively practice their faith, and many blend it with animistic beliefs, including spirit worship and seeking help from shamans. While they have access to the vital ministry resources, only 2.5% are Christian adherents, and just 1.18% are evangelicals. Pray for the Java Banyumasan to recognize the truth.

Midweek In-Depth Bible Study

A.A. Allen died in 1970, he built a city on 2400 acres in Arizona called Miracle Valley. He developed various schemes to collect donations and had bouts of alcoholism. His city was later abandoned and left in ruins. Paula White baptizes infants, says she baptized Trump's grandchildren.

George Janko, Russell Brand—what do we do with popular influencers who are on a public faith journey? In this episode, I share my honest thoughts on the rise of online Christian voices, the risks of platforming spiritual newbies, and why discernment is so critical for believers—especially those still learning biblical truth. I'm not here to cancel anyone, but I am here to help you think critically about who you're letting disciple you. I bring on my friend, Vanessa Hunt, to discuss the problems with John Mark Comer. We unpack the red flags in his theology and sources, and explore why his books have become the top picks for Christian discipleship. This episode runs longer than usual—but it's a must-listen.

Midweek In-Depth Bible Study

Preacher: Michael Foster, Text: Titus 1:10-11

Pastor Scott Ardavanis preaches a part two sermon from Titus 1 verses 13 through 15 on exposing false teachers.

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Join Pastor Derek Neider in this inspiring episode of The Daily Devotional as he kicks off a powerful new series on the book of Romans. In today's devotional, Derek introduces us to one of the most theologically rich books of the Bible, unpacking the significance of the apostle Paul's words and the gospel's eternal message.In this first chapter, Derek dives deep into Paul's self-description as a servant of Christ and a chosen messenger of God's good news. Through thoughtful reflections, Derek encourages us to embrace our calling to serve Christ wholeheartedly and live out our faith with purpose and surrender.Tune in for insightful teachings, practical application, and a fresh perspective on what it means to live as servants of the gospel.

I discuss the importance of discernment in recognizing false teachers, or "wolves," within the church, a discussion sparked from a reader's question. I explain that these deceptive individuals can exist in various roles, causing division and spreading false doctrines for personal gain. Discernment is essential for believers to maintain a pure walk with Jesus amidst such dangers.

I respond to reader questions about false teachers in Christianity, discussing their potential for salvation and the characteristics that distinguish them. While acknowledging that God can save anyone, I discuss that true false teachers are typically hardened in heart and unlikely to repent. Discernment through scripture is emphasized for identifying false teachings.Further ResourcesPortrait of False Teachers part 1, MacArthur sermonLessons I've learned from False Teachers, Tim Challies, essayHow to Identify False Teachers if you Don't Know the Truth, For the Gospel, Costi Hinn essayFalse teachers, Just Thinking PodcastDecoding False Teachers: Types of Wolves in Christianity- Reader Questions & Answers part 1 The End Time

Have the spiritual gifts described in the Bible such as healing or tongues continued beyond the Apostle's ministry to the early church? That's the question pastor Steve is going to bring a lot of evidence, Biblical and evidential, to bear. We hope and pray that Grounded has become a useful and regular part of your Christian learning and growth! - the Grounded team Would you like to know one of the best ways to help our ministry? Telling others about Grounded, we would be very thankful if you did!

False Teachers, Contentment, and the Gospel all come up this week while discussing the final chapter of 1 Timothy. And beer.

Pastor Scott Ardavanis preaches a sermon from Titus 1 verses 10 through 14 on exposing false teachers within the church.

TAKEAWAYSSome red flags associated with false teaching include a promotion of immorality and heretical doctrineDeception has to be very close to the source for it be believable, so it can be hard to decipherIdolatry, overconfidence, disloyalty, and pride are four of the seven deceptions Julius discusses in his bookOne out of every eight New Testament Scriptures refers to the Second Coming of Christ
