About this episode

Jeff Peterson discusses the importance of rebuking false doctrine in the church based on biblical teachings.

Why do pastors sometimes speak directly against false doctrine? In this Bible study from Titus 1, Jeff Peterson explains why elders are required to hold firm to sound doctrine, instruct the church, and rebuke teaching that contradicts the truth. He also addresses the necessity of repentance, the danger of “free grace” teaching that denies perseverance, and why doctrines such as transubstantiation matter in light of the finished work of Christ.
