WEEK 5 | READY AGAINST DECEPTION
Fight Ready Series | Pastor Craig Turnbull
In this week’s message from Fight Ready, Pastor Craig Turnbull teaches from 1 Timothy 4:1–16, where Paul warns that some will depart from the faith and follow deceitful spirits and false teachings. The challenge for every believer is to remain rooted in truth, disciplined in spiritual training, and guarded against the lies that can pull us away from Christ.
Through this passage, we learn what it means to stay faithful to the finish line—to run the race with endurance, keep our eyes on Jesus, and live lives marked by both truth and godly character.
Key Takeaways:
Beware of false teaching that prioritizes performance over the heart.
Train yourself in godliness by grounding your life in Scripture.
Stay devoted to teaching truth and living with integrity.
Keep watch over your life and doctrine—guard both carefully.
