The World Is Like Waze

Sermon Notes

Welcome, CityBridge Family! Today, we continue our journey through 1 Timothy, focusing on 1 Timothy 4:1-5. In this passage, Paul warns against false teaching and reminds us to remain rooted in the truth of God's Word. He speaks of those who will be led astray by deceitful spirits, urging believers to stay anchored in faith and sound doctrine. Josh Fortney will guide us through these verses, highlighting the importance of discerning truth from deception and holding fast to the gospel. Join us as we explore how to stand firm in a world filled with conflicting messages and faithfully follow Christ.

To help you reflect and apply this truth, we've provided a weekly reading plan with discussion questions. You can find it on the CityBridge App to follow along. Worship Set List
