What if the most dangerous lie isn’t the one that looks obviously false, but the one that looks almost true?

In Week 2 of Cults & Counterfeits, Brad teaches on Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witnesses, two groups that claim to be Christian but deny foundational Christian doctrine.

Both use Christian words like Jesus, gospel, salvation, grace, and Scripture, but redefine them in ways that lead to a different authority, a different Jesus, and a different salvation.

In this message, we run both beliefs through three key questions:
What is your final authority?
Who do you say Jesus is?
How are you saved?

The goal is not to win arguments. The goal is to know the truth, love people well, and point them to the real Jesus: fully God, fully man, uncreated, crucified in our place, risen from the grave, and the only way to the Father.

How do you spot a counterfeit gospel?

In Week 1 of Cults & Counterfeits, Brad teaches on the most important foundation of our faith: the true Gospel.

Just like counterfeit money works by looking close to the real thing, false gospels are dangerous because they often sound spiritual, biblical, or even Christian. But if the message adds to Jesus, subtracts from Jesus, or changes how we are saved, it is not the Gospel.

In this message, we walk through the real Gospel: a holy God, hopeless sinners, Jesus Christ crucified and risen, salvation by grace through faith, and eternity with God for all who turn and trust in Him.

We also learn three questions that help expose a counterfeit:
What is your final authority?
Who do you say Jesus is?
How are you saved?

The goal is not to win arguments. The goal is to know the truth, guard the Gospel, and share it with gentleness, respect, and love.

What do you do when following God gets harder than you expected?

In Week 3 of In the Waiting, Brad teaches from Joshua 7 and reminds us that just because it’s hard doesn’t mean you misheard God.

Israel had crossed the Jordan, seen Jericho fall, and stepped into the land God promised them. But after one painful defeat at Ai, Joshua started wondering if they should have stayed on the other side.
Sometimes the same thing happens to us.

We obey God.
We take the step.
We start moving forward.
And then the process gets harder than we thought.
But hard doesn’t mean go back.

This message is for anyone who has started following Jesus, started building something, started healing, started obeying, or started walking into what God promised, but now feels tempted to retreat to what was familiar.

Hard doesn’t mean you misheard God.
Hard doesn’t mean God left you.
Hard doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

Don’t go back.
