1 Timothy | The Great Falling Away - Season 5, Episode 72

How does a devoted believer end up walking away from the faith they once held with conviction? In this sermon from 1 Timothy 4, Pastor Dorrell examines the anatomy of apostasy, tracing how spiritual defection rarely arrives as a sudden shock but instead as the culmination of a long, gradual surrender to “seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.” Drawing from Paul's warnings to Timothy and the church at Ephesus, he confronts the modern equivalents — expressive individualism, deconstructionist theology, social media, and scientific mysticism — that quietly recalibrate the conscience until biblical truth no longer registers. Listeners are challenged to subject every teaching they consume to three litmus tests — authority, Christology, and holiness — and to keep their hearts soft and repentant before God.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
