Dealing with False Teachers

GracePointe Church of Christ in Elizabethtown, PA

Text: 1 Timothy 1:12-20

Synopsis: Wouldn’t it be nice if people who want to do damage to our faith and our trust in other people would just announce it at the beginning? Of course it would. Yet, what I find is that our most beloved leaders can be warped in their motivations and can suffer “shipwreck of the faith.” Paul makes clear that those who want to do harm to the reputation and teachings of Jesus need to be stopped, and each of us who would consider ourselves leaders need to humbly submit to the authority of God in our lives and teachings.
