August 9, 2026 | Deceptive Philosophy - Brett Meador

About this sermon

False teachers with their deceptive rhetoric were infiltrating the church at Colossae and pulling believers away from the truth. In a warning that is just as relevant to the church today, Paul addresses this issue in Colossians 2:8-10 by exposing the empty ideas that creep in to derail faith and draw believers into destructive falsehoods.
