Beware the Wolves: How to Spot and Stop False Teachers in the Church
Manage episode 500923065 series 3578795
False teachers aren’t always easy to spot. They may smile, quote the Bible, and fill stadiums—but Jesus warned they’re “ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing” (Matt. 7:15). In this episode, we uncover how to recognize spiritual deception, test every teaching against God’s Word, and protect the church from dangerous influences—whether they come from outside or within.
You’ll learn:
- The biblical tests for identifying false prophets (Deut. 13, Deut. 18, 1 John 4)
- Why popularity, charisma, and “outward success” can be misleading
- Six practical ways to grow in discernment and guard your church
- How to select godly leaders and spot those seeking power instead of service
This is a call to sharpen your spiritual discernment and keep the flock safe. Don’t let the wolves roam free.
