How has the Church protected the true Gospel for nearly 2,000 years?

‍

In the final message of Cults & Counterfeits, guest speaker Ryan Straarup explores how the early Church defended biblical truth against false teaching and why historic Christian creeds still matter today.

‍

Long before there were denominations, podcasts, or social media debates, followers of Jesus were already wrestling with one question: Who is Jesus, really? As false teachings spread through the early Church, faithful believers gathered around God's Word to defend the Gospel that had been entrusted to them.

‍

In this message, you'll discover why the Apostles' Creed and Nicene Creed weren't written to add to Scripture, but to faithfully protect what Scripture already teaches. You'll see how the earliest Christians responded to heresy, why every generation must contend for the truth, and why the Church's greatest message has never been advice about what you must do, but good news about what Jesus has already done.

The Gospel isn't another self-help plan or religious checklist.

Christ has risen. It is finished.
