Chris Brannon continues in our 2 Timothy series and asks us if we are walking in sound doctrine. If you read 2 Timothy 4:1-5, you can see that this passage speaks to Timothy (and us) of two important facets of church life that were and still are relevant today. We need leaders to step up and lead! We also need to be aware of our susceptibility to turn away from truth and sound doctrine. Now is a time where many churches have abandoned the preaching of the Word. So it is important that we understand Paul’s words and make sure that this church never veers from them!
Chris continues to warn us of the ramifications on false doctrine. It leads to ungodly behavior because what one believes, determines how they behave. False doctrine can also lead to more doctrinal error and, eventually, shipwreck the faith of a believer. Other ramifications of false doctrine is that it will destroy the unity of the church and it will render a believer unusable for God! He then goes through two broad categories of false doctrine to keep a watch out for. Chris wraps up his sermon with some questions for us to reflect on.
