The Dangers of a False Gospel
October 18th, 2007 by tempe
A sermon on Galatians 1:6-10, preached on October 14, 2007. Ironically (actually, providentially) , Joel Osteen was featured on 60 Minutes that same evening.
“I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; 7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed! 10 For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.”
Great Sermon. Liked the Mutiny on the Bounty reference…
Thanks for the quick analysis (you are johnny on the spot; I just posted that a little while ago), my new friend and brother. My wife said it was too long. The sermon I am currently working on (Gal 1:11-24 — entitled “The Glory of the True Gospel” ) is going to address the “new atheists” in the intro, so look for that.
