“False Teaching” (1 Timothy 4:1–5)

“False Teaching” (1 Timothy 4:1–5)
Cameron Jungels/Eastside Baptist/Wed PM/April 8, 2015

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.” (1 Timothy 4:1–5, NIV)

1.    The presence of false teaching should not surprise us (v. 1)

2.    We should not be surprised by the source of false teaching (vv. 1–2).

3.    We should not be deceived by the asceticism of some false teachers (vv. 3–5).
