Itching Ears

2 Timothy 4:3–4  (ID: 3074)

What do people look for in a preacher? The apostle Paul warned the young pastor Timothy about those who seek only what they want to hear rather than biblical truth. In this message, Alistair Begg emphasizes the importance of preaching the Bible in the life of a healthy local church. God’s purposes for us will be accomplished only when we submit our hearts to the faithful teaching of scriptural truth.

3For the time is coming when people will not endure sound1 teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
