August 23, 2026 | Closing out our series in Jude, Pastor Ben Mandrell teaches on how to spot false teachers. This was one of the biggest warnings found in Jude's letter, that we should be on the guard against people who would try to water down or twist the Word of God. When we see people who want to pervert God's authority, we must choose to contend for the faith.For more sermons each week, be sure to subscribe so you can stay in the know.

God has already provided all the tools we need to discern truth from error. The more we understand what the Bible teaches, the better prepared we are to recognize falsehood when it appears. Pastor Ken urges you today to examine teachings closely, rather than simply accept them at face value. And sometimes that means digging deeper, carefully studying and researching Scripture, and asking important questions. Discernment grows when you take the time to investigate and verify the truth.

God's Word teaches that every prophetic message must be tested by the standards of Scripture. And God has given His Word as the ultimate standard for evaluating each claim. Even when someone has spoken accurately in the past, that alone is not proof that every future prediction is from God. Pastor Ken reminds you today that your trust belongs to God alone, and not in any individual's track record. As you listen and learn, let Scripture be the final authority that guides your faith.
Pastor Josh warns us of the dangers of being led astray by false teachers.
Our point of reference today is Second Peter chapter two and verses one through three. It sends out the call to, “Beware of False Teachers.” In Matthew chapter seven Jesus says, “Watch out for false prophets.They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.” Today pastor John points out that these false teachers are very much around today, even in the so-called Progressive Movement.

Believers can be so quick to accept new claims about signs and prophetic events without examining what Scripture actually says. When someone declares they've unlocked a hidden meaning or decoded the latest sign, it naturally captures our attention. But Pastor Ken urges you in today's message to test every teaching against the truth of God's Word. Discernment grows when you know the Bible for yourself. And that's why studying Scripture is more important than ever.

[2 Peter 2:1] Peter and Paul both prepare the church for the sober reality that false teachers will inevitably arise from within. These teachers introduce heresies secretly, sometimes packaging them as compassionate or merely alternative interpretations of Scripture. This sermon urges the church to cultivate biblical discernment so that we neither tolerate nor partner with any teaching that, by its deeds, denies the Master who bought us.
Not everyone who claims to be a true Christian teacher actually teaches the truths of Christianity. 1 Timothy 6:1-10 shows us how to discern a false teacher from a true one.
Many believers today are asking if a woman can be a pastor. When churches tolerate women preaching to men, they act in direct violation of 1 Timothy 2. This standard is rooted deeply in the creation order of Genesis, which serves as the permanent foundation for complementarianism and biblical gender roles. While the office of church elders is reserved for biblically qualified men, women have an absolutely vital role in the church. The Scriptures heavily emphasize the beauty of the Titus 2 model, where older women teach younger women in practical Christian living. True church health is measured by total submission to the Word of God rather than shifting cultural trends.

The sermon examines 1 Timothy 6:1-5 to address the conduct of believers in workplace relationships and the danger of false teachers. It urges Christians to serve their employers with diligence and honor, regardless of the employer's faith status, as a witness to Christ. The preacher warns against prideful individuals who teach contrary to wholesome words and engage in unedifying disputes. Believers are instructed to avoid those destitute of truth who seek personal gain rather than spiritual growth. The message concludes by emphasizing the importance of holding fast to biblical doctrine and being thankful for the grace of God.

Biblical literacy is in decline—and the consequences are showing. In this episode, I unpack alarming statistics about Bible reading in America and explain why so many Christians struggle to recognize false teaching. We examine the growing influence of Kathryn Krick and discuss how emotional experiences can never replace sound biblical doctrine. I also answer a listener's question about the Scofield Study Bible, compare popular Bible translations by reading level, and share practical advice for choosing a translation you'll actually read and understand. This episode will challenge you to move beyond devotionals and secondary sources and become a student of God's Word. The goal isn't simply to read the Bible more—it's to know God more deeply, discern truth from error, and become a faithful disciple who can help others do the same.

Pastor Daniel teaches that one of the ways to identify a false teacher is by their selfishness.
You can measure a quality carpenter by his work. You can discern a skilled administrator by her organization. The product of what they do speaks of who they are. So too, with false teachers. Dr. John instructs us to consider the impact and effect of false teachers. They promise much but leave desctruction and emptiness in their wake. What they produce speaks of who they are. Danger From Within: Jesus spoke of wolves in sheep's clothing. Paul warned of wolves among the flock. Peter alerts the Church of false teachers. It was a danger for the early church. It remains a challenge for today's Church. Listen as Dr. John unfolds 2 Peter for our caution and protection.
This teaching helps you develop confidence and practical tools to identify false teaching in the church. This is a scripture-based road map for those new and seasoned within the walls of the church.
In this episode, Pastor Daniel and Pastor Ben discuss the recent sermon on Jude 11-13, "The Detection of False Teachers, Part 2: False Teachers Serve Themselves".
How would you recognize a false teacher? We tend to think that false teaching is simply a theological problem. Dr. John teaches from 2 Peter that false teaching is an ethical concern. In other words, we discern heresy not just from what people say, but what people are. "Belief" and "being" are twinned, for good or evil. Danger From Within: Jesus spoke of wolves in sheep's clothing. Paul warned of wolves among the flock. Peter alerts the Church of false teachers. It was a danger for the early church. It remains a challenge for today's Church. Listen as Dr. John unfolds 2 Peter for our caution and protection.

Framed around the Emmaus Road story in Luke 24—where the risen Jesus walks and talks with two discouraged disciples—Greig shows how God speaks through both His Word (Scripture, prayer, prophecy, and Jesus Himself ) and His Whisper (dreams, community, creation, culture, and the still small voice). Blending evangelical, charismatic, and contemplative traditions (including lectio divina), the book equips “normal people” with honest wisdom, personal stories, and tools to discern God's voice amid life's noise, turning monologue prayers into genuine dialogue. [N.B. Pete is a little more charismatic than I am but in a healthy way.]But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves upin this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit,staying right at the center of God's love,keeping your arms open and outstretched,ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ.This is the unending life, the real life! The Message The Most Important Verses of JudeVerses 17-23 are the most important in the letter of Jude. It is herethat Jude spells out just how he wants his readers to pursue the purposefor which he has written the letter: that they “contend for the faith once for all, and trusted tothe saints” (v.3). Jude specifies three things that his readers need to do: remember the apostolicwarnings about the heretics (vv. 17-19); Secure their own faith (vv. 20-21); and reach out torescue people in danger (vv.22-23). His exhortation is as relevant today as it was 2000 years ago.

In this episode, the Israelites are rapidly rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. Sanballot, Tobiah, and Gesham, try to intimidate Nehemiah into stopping the project: They send Nehemiah letters, claiming that he's planning to rebel against the king and become the ruler of Judah. People who are doing good for God usually face opposition and false accusations. Nehemiah's discernment and faith are put to the test when a prophet named Shemaiah tries to convince him to go into the temple for safety. The wall is completed in just 52 days - how excavation has proven that the wall was built very quickly. The episode touches on the theme of false prophets and the importance of testing their claims. Jenn reminds listeners to be cautious of people who claim to have prophecies or messages from God, and to do their due diligence in verifying their claims.

In this episode, Pastor Daniel and Pastor Ben discuss the recent sermon on Jude 5-7, "The Destruction of False Teachers".
Satan's deception is subtle: he entices people into slavery by calling it freedom. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to 2 Peter 2:17–22 to warn believers against false teachers who twist God's grace into a license for sin. Peter exposes the danger of a counterfeit freedom that promises liberty while leading people back into bondage. Scripture makes clear that before Christ, we were slaves to sin—but through His saving power, we have been set free from that merciless master. Christian freedom is not the ability to indulge every desire; it is the power, by the Holy Spirit, to say no to unrighteousness and yes to joyful obedience. Dr. Youssef reminds us that cheap grace is not Biblical grace. Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commands.” True freedom is found in belonging to the Son, serving Him with a whole heart, and walking in holiness. It is never too late to receive Christ's freedom. Ask Him to free you, train your heart to reject unrighteousness, and live today as one who is truly free indeed. Prayer: Lord, I rejoice in the freedom You have secured for me in Christ—freedom to live in the peace and joy of holiness. Show me how I can serve You today. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravity—for ‘people are slaves to whatever has mastered them'” (2 Peter 2:19). Learn more in Dr. Michael A. Youssef's sermon It Is Never Too Late, The Curse of Compromise: LISTEN NOW | WATCH NOW The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.
