Why We Teach the Word of God

Summary

Elder Michael Goans emphasizes the importance of teaching sound doctrine in the church to develop spiritually healthy Christians characterized by charity, a good conscience, and faith. He contrasts true biblical teaching with false doctrines that cause confusion and stresses the church's role as a discipleship institution focused on growing believers to be more Christlike. The sermon highlights the enduring power of God's Word to transform lives and maintain the church as the pillar and ground of truth. Goans also critiques modern trends in church culture that prioritize entertainment over biblical teaching.
