    Who are the Creepers of Jude 8? - Ep. 879 - April 1, 2026

    Who are the Creepers in Jude 8, and why does Jude warn the church so strongly about them? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show, the conversation gets straight to the heart of apostasy, false teachers, spiritual authority, and what the Bible says about the last days. Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Jude 8 and connect it to Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot, Abraham's intercession, the rapture of the church, and the growing danger of replacing truth with error. They also talk about how false teaching slips into the church, how grace gets twisted into permission for sin, and why rebellion against God-given authority is such a serious mark of deception. Along the way, they discuss: the warning signs of apostasy in the church, what Jude means by dreamers and Creepers, how Lot reflects compromise in an evil culture, why Abraham's prayer for Sodom still speaks to us now, how spiritual authority is ignored and attacked, and why the doctrine of the rapture matters so much in the last days. This episode is direct, sobering, and grounded in Scripture. If you've been trying to understand Jude 8, false teachers, or how the church should respond in a time of confusion, this Bible discussion will give you a lot to think about. Watch through to the end, because this sets up the next part of the series on the identifiable marks of those who creep in unaware.

    Could Replacement Theology Be The Apostasy of The Last Days? - Ep. 878 - March 31, 2026

    Could Replacement Theology be part of the Apostasy of the Last Days? In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland walk through Jude and deal with a sobering warning the church can't afford to ignore. This conversation starts light, then turns serious fast. In Episode 878 of The Smith and Rowland Show, Jeff and Alan dig into the book of Jude and talk about unbelief, false teaching, moral compromise, and the danger of replacing what God has clearly said. Along the way, they connect Israel in the wilderness, the fallen angels, and Sodom and Gomorrah to a pattern Jude lays out for the Last Days. They also take a hard look at Replacement Theology and why it matters so much. This isn't treated like a side issue. Instead, they show how replacing Israel, replacing God's order, or replacing biblical truth can lead straight into Apostasy. This episode gets personal, too. Both men openly reflect on areas of unbelief in their own lives, especially when God's leading doesn't line up with human logic. Because of that, the discussion feels honest, weighty, and very real. Inside this episode: Jude's warning about unbelief and judgment, how Apostasy starts in the mind and ends in the flesh, why Replacement Theology is tied to a broader replacement mindset, how false teachers turn grace into permission for sin, and why discernment matters more than ever in the Last Days. If you've been studying Jude, Bible prophecy, false doctrine, or the spiritual condition of the church, this episode will give you a lot to think about. Watch, listen closely, and share this with someone who takes the Word of God seriously. #ReplacementTheology #Apostasy #LastDays #BookOfJude #BibleProphecy

    Sodom & Gomorrah: Example of Today's Apostasy in the Church - Ep. 877 - March 30, 2026

    What happens when Jude points to Sodom and Gomorrah as a warning for the church? In this episode, The Smith and Rowland Show takes a hard look at Apostasy, false teaching, sexual immorality, and the judgment tied to rebellion against God's truth. Smith and Rowland walk through Jude 6 and 7 and connect the passage to Israel's unbelief, the angels that left their first estate, and the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah. As they unpack the text, they show how Apostasy doesn't begin at the end, it starts with murmuring, complaining, unbelief, and a steady drift away from God's order. This conversation also tackles the role of false teachers, the corruption of grace, and why biblical truth is often rejected when it directly confronts sin. In addition, they discuss how these issues show up in the modern church, in the pulpit, and across today's culture. If you've been studying Jude, end-times deception, false prophets, or the moral collapse pictured in Sodom and Gomorrah, this episode gives clear biblical context and direct application for where we are right now. Watch through to the end, then share this with someone who needs a sober, Scripture-first look at Apostasy in the church. #SodomAndGomorrah #Apostasy #BookOfJude #BibleProphecy #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

    The Apostasies' Supernatural Origins - Ep. 876 - March 25, 2026

    What happens when Apostasy stops looking like a trend and starts showing its spiritual roots? In this episode of The Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Smith and Rowland continue their study through Jude and focus on verse 6, where the warning turns sharply toward the supernatural Origins of falling away. This conversation connects Jude 6, 2 Peter 2, Genesis 6, and the broader battle over how Scripture should be read. Smith and Rowland take on major issues head-on, including the difference between a literal and allegorical view of the Bible, the reality of hell, the rebellion of fallen angels, and why unbelief can open the door to deception and delusion. Along the way, they also tie these themes to the condition of the modern church, the rise of false teaching, and the growing pressure to redefine what God has plainly said. As a result, this episode pushes past surface-level commentary and gets to the heart of why Apostasy spreads, how it gains power, and why Jude's warning still matters right now. If you're following this series through Jude, this is a key episode. It adds weight, context, and urgency to the warning signs many believers are seeing in the church and in the culture. Watch through to the end, then be ready for the next step in the study as the discussion moves into Jude 7. #Apostasy #BookOfJude #BibleProphecy #ChristianPodcast #TheSmithAndRowlandShow

    Does Deception Equal Delusion? - Ep. 875 - March 24, 2026

    When does Deception become Delusion? In this Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, the conversation turns urgent, biblical, and deeply personal. In Episode 875, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland continue their study through Jude and press into a hard question: what happens when deception goes unchecked? They draw a sharp line between Deception of the mind and Delusion of the spirit, then connect that warning to apostasy, unbelief, and the growing rejection of God's truth in the church and culture. This episode also tackles major issues head-on, including replacement theology, dominion theology, kingdom now teaching, anti-Semitism, and God's covenant purposes for Israel. As they work through Jude verse 5, they argue that last-days apostasy doesn't just come from outside the church. It creeps in quietly, then spreads through false teaching, pride, and spiritual blindness. Along the way, they discuss: how apostasy enters the church the difference between deception and delusion why unbelief matters more than most people think why Israel remains central in biblical prophecy how replacement theology distorts grace why political ideas often grow out of theological beliefs how last-days error prepares the way for deeper blindness This is a serious Bible discussion, but it's also practical. If you've watched public voices shift, truth get blurred, or biblical convictions weaken in real time, this episode will give you a framework to think clearly. If you're following this Jude study, this is an important one. Verse 5 opens up far more than most people expect. Watch, listen, and share with someone who wants a stronger biblical view of apostasy, grace, Israel, and the last days. #SmithAndRowlandShow #Deception #Delusion #BibleProphecy #Podcast

    The Unbelief of Israel: Fear or Faith? - Ep. 874 - March 23, 2026

    What kept Israel out of the promise, Fear or Faith? In this episode, Smith and Rowland open Jude 5 and show why that warning still matters now. This conversation gets right to the heart of unbelief. Using Israel in the wilderness as the key example, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland talk through how saved people can still miss their inheritance through unbelief, fear, pride, and compromise. That makes Jude a hard book, but also a necessary one. They connect Jude 5 with Numbers 14, Hebrews 4, 1 Corinthians 10, and the letters to the churches in Revelation. As a result, this episode builds a clear picture of last-days apostasy, the danger of fear-driven teaching, and why believers must still contend for the faith. You'll hear strong insight on: the unbelief of Israel and why it stands as a warning to the church, the difference between salvation and inheritance, how Fear can shape choices more than Faith, why apostasy often starts with a turn from God's Word, the battle over literal truth versus twisted meaning, and why the next move of God may be rising in young people with Joshua and Caleb faith. There's also a clear call here for Word and Spirit to stay together. Right doctrine matters. So does first love. When those are torn apart, people drift. When they stay joined, lives change. If you've been studying Jude, end-times prophecy, apostasy in the church, or the spiritual lesson of Israel's wilderness journey, this episode will give you a lot to think about. Watch, share, and stay with this series as The Smith and Rowland Show continues through the book of Jude. #SmithAndRowlandShow #BookOfJude #Israel #FaithOverFear #BibleStudy

    Apostasy: Actions Against God's Purpose - Ep. 873 - March 20, 2026

    What happens when sincere believers are missing part of the message? In this episode, Alan Smith walks through Acts 19 and shows how God fills the gaps, corrects false confidence, and calls people into deeper truth. "Apostasy: Actions Against God's Purpose" is a strong message about partial belief, spiritual hunger, and the danger of settling for less than what God has said. As Paul meets disciples in Ephesus, he finds people who know repentance, but don't yet understand the full gospel, the Holy Spirit, or the name of Jesus in its fullness. That moment opens up a powerful lesson for the church today. This teaching covers: how Acts 19 reveals gaps in belief and understanding, why partial truth can still leave people spiritually unprepared, what baptism, obedience, and the Holy Spirit mean in this passage, why signs and miracles mattered in Paul's ministry, how pride keeps people from admitting what they still need to learn, and why the Word of God has more lasting value than anything this world can offer. Along the way, this sermon speaks plainly about life, death, eternity, and the new birth. It also points to a hard truth many avoid, our earthly success fades fast, but what God does in the heart lasts forever. That's why this message presses past surface religion and gets to the deeper issue, whether our lives are aligned with God's purpose or drifting through actions that pull us away from it. If you've ever wrestled with questions about the Holy Spirit, spiritual gifts, Christian growth, or Apostasy in the church, this message will give you a lot to think about. It's honest, grounded in Scripture, and centered on the lasting work of God. Watch, listen closely, and let the truth of Acts 19 search your heart. #Apostasy #BookOfActs #HolySpirit #BibleTeaching #ChristianFaith

    Contending for The Faith in These Last Days - Ep. 872 - March 19, 2026

    What does it really mean to contend for the Faith in the Last Days? In this episode, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland open Jude and confront the warning signs of apostasy head-on. This conversation gets straight to the point. Jude's message wasn't vague, and it wasn't meant only for another time. It speaks to the church right now. Alan and Jeff walk through Jude 1 through 5 and connect it to Israel in the wilderness, showing how people can witness God's power, enjoy His blessing, and still refuse obedience when it matters most. They break down why Contending for the faith takes more than talk. It takes courage, obedience, and a willingness to stand on God's Word when false teaching creeps in. They also explain the difference between salvation and inheritance, why miracles don't replace obedience, and why Joshua and Caleb still matter as examples for believers today. Along the way, this episode covers: how Jude warns about men creeping into the church unnoticed, why turning grace into license leads to judgment, what Israel's failure in the wilderness teaches the church, why obedience matters more than chasing miracles, how to recognize false teaching in the Last Days, and why believers must earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints. If you care about biblical truth, apostasy in the church, end times deception, and standing firm in your walk with Christ, this episode is worth your full attention. Watch, share, and stay in the Word. #ContendingForTheFaith #LastDays #Faith #BookOfJude #ChristianPodcast
