About this episode

Neil Bester discusses how to discern truth from false teaching based on 2 Peter 2.

In a world full of persuasive voices and compelling ideas, how do you discern what is true? In this message from 2 Peter 2, Neil Bester shows us how to avoid being carried away by teaching that sounds good but ultimately leads us away from Christ. Scripture gives us a clear picture of what false teaching and teachers look like. From Jesus’ warning about the ‘yeast’ of the Pharisees and Sadducees to Peter’s strong words about deception in the Church, we are called to be alert, discerning, and grounded. But this isn’t just a warning, it’s an invitation. An invitation to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus, to anchor yourself in truth, and to be shaped by sound doctrine that leads to life. 🔔 Subscribe & Share
