The Engine of False Teaching | 1 Timothy 6:3-10 | Pastor Josh Wootton

About this episode

This sermon explores the deeper heart issues behind false teaching as discussed in 1 Timothy 6:3-10.

What if false teaching isn’t just about bad theology, but a deeper heart issue? In this message from Know the Church, we walk through 1 Timothy 6:3-10 and uncover the engine behind false teaching. The Apostle Paul warns that false teachers are driven by a desire for gain, leading to envy, division, and spiritual ruin, but he also points us to a better way: godliness with contentment. This sermon helps us recognize the marks of false teachers, understand the dangers of craving more, and anchor your life in the truth of Christ.
