In this episode of the Legacy Bible Podcast, we revisit a timeless message on the importance of guarding the church against false teaching. From the letters to the seven churches in Revelation to Paul’s warnings in Galatians, we are reminded that no man, no angel, and no office carries authority greater than the Word of God. This sermon challenges us to test every claim of apostleship and every teaching against Scripture, holding fast to the gospel of grace—that we are saved not by works or law-keeping, but by faith in Christ alone.   📑 Show Notes In this episode, Pastor Chuck Rains walks through Revelation 2, Galatians 1, and Ephesians 2, uncovering the dangers of false apostles, moral corruption, and the temptation to elevate human authority above God’s Word. Key Points: The early church faced challenges of false teaching and moral evil—issues that persist today. The letters to the seven churches addressed real congregations but also speak to every generation. Claims of new revelations, whether from men or angels, must be tested against Scripture. Paul’s rebuke of Peter shows that even apostles were not above God’s Word. Salvation is by grace through faith, not works or law-keeping (Ephesians 2:8-9). Every believer has the responsibility to know truth and reject error. Scripture References: Revelation 2–3 Galatians 1:6–9; 2:11–16 Ephesians 2:4–9 Colossians 3:1–4 Takeaway:God has entrusted His Word to us, not to apostles or councils, but to the church guided by the Holy Spirit. Our calling is to know the truth, live it out, and guard against error.       Thanks for listening and please subscribe, comment and like.if you have any comments or questions please send them to legacybiblepodcast@gmail.comyou can check out the website at www.legacybiblepodcast.comFellowship Bible Church website is at www.fbcjoliet.complease come back every week for another legacy lesson from the bible by the Rev Chuck Rains.All content is from the Fellowship Bible Church and edited from the morning or evening service and taught by the pastor the Rev.
