How to recognize false teachers?

2024/08/25 | Leo Bigger

In this sermon Leo Bigger warns you how to recognize false teachers: they often preach only part of the gospel, omit the cross, or put themselves, money or power at the center instead of Jesus (2 Peter 2:1–3). He reminds you the church is family — stay in it when you struggle so wolves can’t pick you off.

Practical takeaway: test every teaching against Scripture (like the Bereans did — Acts 17:11), ask if the message points to the cross (Hebrews/Jesus’ work), beware of one‑sided doctrines, emotional spectacle, or leaders demanding unquestioned loyalty and funds. Look for transparent leadership and a focus on repentance, grace, and holiness.

Gentle call to action: don’t drift — stay in community, compare sermons with the Bible, pray and ask Jesus for clarity and your next step.
