A Trustworthy Saying

As the series from 1 & 2 Timothy continues, Kelly Riggs preaches from 1 Timothy 1.

The idea of “false doctrine” is in the forefront of Paul’s mind as he begins this first letter to Timothy.

What did Paul have in mind regarding “false” doctrine?

What is “sound” doctrine?

Because Paul asked Timothy to remain and teach in Ephesus, a look at the book of Ephesians gives us some excellent clues.

In this lesson, Kelly examines error that arose in the 1st century church, and how it differs from what may be called “false” teaching today.


“Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.”

Ephesians 4:14-16 NIV
