Alex Kremer 2-8-2026 | God’s Purpose in Difficult Days: Discernment from 2 Timothy 3:1-9

Today's teaching explores Paul’s warning in 2 Timothy 3 about the rise of deceptive, ungodly influences within the church and the purpose God accomplishes through them. Drawing from Scripture and real‑world examples, we will see how false teachers often appear outwardly religious while undermining the truth, preying especially on those weighed down by sin or lacking discernment. Paul's teaching explains why God allows such challenges—not to abandon His people, but to test, refine, and strengthen the church, magnify His grace, and ultimately display Christ’s triumph over evil. By examining the tactics, targets, and inevitable downfall of these corrupt influences, believers are urged to cling to God’s Word, pursue holiness, and remain steadfast in the truth as they navigate the “difficult times” of the last days.

Thank you for listening to today's teaching.  We pray that as we consider this timely topic that you will be encouraged to live in light of, and in response to, the wonderful truth of the Gospel.
