We live in the information age. The internet is full of voices, advice, and increasingly theological teaching and commentary. Every day, we're forced to evaluate what is true and who is worth listening to. In our conversation today, Pastor Jim explores the necessity of believers learning to recognize false teaching and why, as leaders, it's one of our primary jobs.
Where do you turn for wisdom in a confusing world? False teachings, whether from culture, politics, or our own ideas, twist our understanding of right and wrong. Only by building our lives on the true gospel can we find our way through a confusing world, live as God wants, and join in God's ongoing work of restoration.
How do we face false teaching when it comes?

Recognizing deception, submitting to truth, and walking together in faith.The discussion centered around false teaching, legalism, and the nature of the flesh, with emphasis on the need for discernment and submission to God's truth. The conversation explored how legalism originates from false teaching and how the enemy uses deception to attack the character of God revealed through Christ.The group reflected on how each of the Gospels presents a different facet of Christ—His humanity, servitude, genealogy, and divinity—and how understanding these aspects strengthens faith and guards against error. They discussed that while the enemy cannot stop God's redemptive plan, false teaching can distort how believers experience grace.We emphasized the importance of humility, submission, and maintaining unity within the body, explaining that proper teaching protects believers from the influence of the flesh. The group also discussed the balance between resting in God's will and remaining actively submitted to His leading through the Holy Spirit.The meeting concluded with reflections on community, the importance of prayer for one another, and future direction—including prayer for God's guidance about a permanent meeting place and potential radio outreach to extend their ministry.Themes: Discerning false teaching and legalism Submitting the will to God for true rest Unity and humility within the assembly Dependence on the Holy Spirit for understanding The divine purpose of community and prayerScripture References: 2 Corinthians 4:4Reflection Question: Where might I still be striving in my own strength instead of resting in the finished work of Christ?
Exploring God's sufficiency.The discussion centered on the importance of hope and discernment in light of false teaching. The message emphasized that God's love and grace are fully sufficient for believers, removing the need to strive for perfection and instead inviting rest in His love. The group reflected on the simplicity and completeness of faith in Christ and how resting in His grace brings peace and assurance.Themes: The sufficiency of God's grace and love Dangers of false teaching and striving for perfection Rest and assurance found in faith alone Reflection Question: How can I rest more deeply in God's grace and share His hope with others around me?

In Yesterday's Lesson for Today, Dr. Michael Youssef urges believers to reject the shallow comforts of modern Christianity and return to the unchanging truth of God's Word.

In a world where it's easy to find someone with a comfortable opinion rather than facing hard truths, it's more important than ever to identify and flee from any voice that contradicts Scripture. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through 2 Timothy 3:1-9 to remind us not only to skillfully avoid the dangers of false teachers, but also to closely follow the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

In Who Is the Unknown God?, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the idolatry of modern culture with the boldness of the Apostle Paul in Acts 17. Preaching in a city filled with gods, Paul exposes the emptiness of false worship and proclaims the risen Christ as the only Savior and Judge. Dr. Youssef warns that idols are not just carved statues—they are anything that takes the place of the one true God. From false religion to pleasure, pride, and power, every idol will be judged. God is calling all people to repent, for a day of judgment is coming. This message calls believers to intercede, to proclaim Truth with urgency, and to live unashamed of the Gospel in a world darkened by deception.

Our Scripture study this week comes from Titus 1:10-16. The Apostle Paul sent young Titus to shape up or ship out the nonsense going on in Crete. False teachers were twisting God's Word for personal gain. Paul calls for such voices to be silenced. These false teachers may claim to know God, but their actions show otherwise. They are corrupt and unfit for doing good. As the church, we are called to remain grounded in the pure gospel.Series Summary: Titus is Paul's no-nonsense blueprint for planting gospel-centered churches in hard places—starting with strong leadership and sound doctrine. Written to a young pastor on the wild island of Crete, this letter shows how truth and character shape a church's credibility in a corrupt culture. In this series, we'll dive into why healthy doctrine isn't just for theologians, and why godly leaders are essential for a church that wants to make a lasting impact.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive
