Warning Against False Teachers | 1 Timothy 4:1-5 | Pastor Josh Wootton

About this episode

Pastor Josh Wootton warns against false teachers and emphasizes the importance of remaining grounded in the faith.

In this sermon from 1 Timothy 4:1–5, we look at Paul’s warning against false teachers and the danger of falling away from the faith. Scripture reminds us that deceptive teachings will arise, drawing people away from the truth of the Gospel. How can believers recognize false teaching and remain grounded in Christ? In this message from the Know the Church series at First Baptist Woodbridge, we explore how the Bible calls Christians to stay rooted in truth, receive God’s gifts with thanksgiving, and guard their faith against deception.
