It’s natural for us to want to help— to feel as though we must *do* something.
…The desire to share in a sense of accomplishment by adding to our salvation — even validating it — is real.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves takes us to the book of Galatians,
where the Apostle Paul tells us not only that we don’t need to… but not to.
In fact, he issues some of the strongest warnings in all of Scripture:
The moment we add our work to His, the Gospel is corrupt.
And though false teachers may sound convincing, the truth remains clear — Salvation is not found in what we do… but in what Christ has done.
They say we need more… But with Christ — we already have everything.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues our study in the book of Colossians, reminding us to beware of false teachers, steer clear of heresy, and stand firm knowing we are united to Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection… and in Him, we already have all.
It’s a problem Christians have struggled with throughout the ages: The burden they feel when striving to live a life they can never attain.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Deacon David Teves brings us a new study from the book of Galatians —
where the Apostle Paul confronts the lies and false teachings burdening the believers in Galatia…
teachings that added requirements, where Christ had already finished the work.
For the only solution to this burden is not found in what you do —
…but in what’s already been done for you, on the cross.
In a world full of division and deception, how do we protect the unity of the church?
Cling. Avoid. Trust.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao reaches the next to last sermon in the book of Romans in which Paul issues a warning…
It’s a warning that is timeless and equips us to guard the truth, pursue peace, and live boldly in the hope of Christ’s triumph:
Be vigilant against those who cause strife and distort the truth; CLING to what is good; AVOID what is evil; and TRUST in God’s ultimate victory over Satan.
False Teacher:…And I’d like to convince you of my heresy and drag you all down to hell with me.
Group: (various responses of interest)
SBC Host: If it were only that obvious.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Brother in Christ, Josh Peglow fills in at the pulpit to bring us a timely message from the book of Jude:
We must be on guard and “contend earnestly for the faith” because “certain persons have crept in unnoticed.”
He goes on to warn that they will draw many with their engaging personalities, slick style, and ability to turn a phrase… drawing them into a subtle trap of deception, with the sole purpose of leading you away from the pure Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Description: Now that Jude has commanded us to contend earnestly for the faith once for all delivered to the saints, he now gives us the things to do in order to accomplish this task. The tasks he gives are both practical as well as profound. If churches were to follow Jude’s instruction many wouldn’t be in such dire need of reform.
Description: Jude writes of the certainty of judgment and the fact that the very Lord whom the false teachers denied was coming in judgment against all apostates.
Description: Jude launches into an attack on the false teachers citing three examples of notorious Old Testament sinners followed by six descriptive examples of what these false teachers are like.
Description: Jude wants to draw a strong connection between the false teachers who have infiltrated the church in his day, to those who are known to have incurred the judgment and wrath of God. These lessons are just as applicable to the modern church as they were to those who worshiped in the first century.
Description: The Apostle John provides us with two anchor points to protect us from falling into the traps of false teachers. We must abide in the apostle’s teaching (biblical truth) and we must abide in the Holy Spirit.
Description: Sometimes familiar words lose their meaning. The word fellowship is like that. We use the word fellowship as an adjective to describe a church event. For instance, a potluck becomes a “fellowship meal” and just hanging out with other believers becomes “fellowshipping”. The term fellowship though is significant in meaning and must be understood within the context of Christ’s fellowship with His people. As Christ is in fellowship with His people, His people are in fellowship with each other. The teaching of and about Christ become the truth upon which our fellowship is based.
In our message today, we see that there are some who have broken fellowship, they have dis-fellowshipped themselves over the truth. John tells the church that those who have left — left because they never were truly in fellowship in the first place.
