In this powerful sermon on 2 Corinthians 11, we dive into the critical issue of false teaching and its impact on the church, both in Paul’s time and today. Join us as we explore how the Apostle Paul confronted the false teachers in Corinth and learn how to guard our hearts against deceptive influences in modern Christianity. This message will equip you to discern truth, stay anchored in the gospel, and grow in simple devotion to Jesus.

Key Points from 2 Corinthians 11:

False teaching corrupts simple devotion (2 Cor 11:1-4): Paul warns that false teachers can lead us away from pure devotion to Christ, just as the serpent deceived Eve.

False teaching gives little priority to humility (2 Cor 11:5-12): Unlike the proud “super-apostles,” Paul’s ministry was marked by humility and self-sacrifice.

False teaching is a work of Satan (2 Cor 11:13-15): Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, and his servants pose as ministers of righteousness.

False teaching has horrible consequences (2 Cor 11:16-21): False teachers enslave, exploit, and abuse believers, causing spiritual harm.

False teaching misunderstands suffering (2 Cor 11:22-33): Paul boasts in his sufferings, not worldly success, as proof of his authentic ministry.

Six Warnings About Dangerous Teachings Today:

Overemphasis on the Supernatural: Elevating visions, dreams, or “words from God” above Scripture can lead us away from simple devotion to Jesus.

Celebrity Culture: Prioritizing charisma, popularity, or social media presence over character and spiritual integrity is a growing danger in the church.

Anti-Church Sentiment: The “just me and Jesus” mindset dismisses the importance of the local church, which Jesus loves despite its imperfections.

Self-Help Gospel: Blending pop psychology with Christianity, this teaching focuses on personal fulfillment rather than Christ, the cross, and repentance.

Deconstructionism: Moving away from biblical authority, this approach treats Scripture as optional or relative, undermining core Christian doctrines.

Prosperity Gospel: This false teaching promises health, wealth, and success through faith, ignoring the biblical role of suffering in the Christian life.

Open Your Heart | 2 Corinthians 6

Are you willing to let people into your life? Are you open to God’s way, even when it’s hard? In 2 Corinthians 6, Paul pleads with the church to open their hearts—first to God, then to endurance, and finally to true fellowship.

🔹 Open your heart to God – Salvation is today, not tomorrow! Don’t receive God’s grace in vain.

🔹 Open your heart to endurance – The Christian life is full of trials, but by the Holy Spirit, we can persevere.

🔹 Open your heart to fellowship – True believers must guard their affections and relationships, staying separate from what opposes God’s truth.

Don’t let misplaced affections hold you back! Open your heart, embrace God’s call, and live with passion and purpose.

2 Corinthians 5 speaks of what it means to live for Jesus. A future awaits those who are in Christ, and this sermon encourages us to set our minds on things above. We must live our lives with the future in mind.

In this sermon, we learn that our earthly bodies are temporary, like a tent, and will be replaced with a permanent, celestial body in heaven. This new body will be incorruptible, glorious, and powerful, perfectly reflecting Jesus. Until then, we groan for glory, longing for the day when mortality is swallowed up by life. The Holy Spirit within us is a guarantee of this future hope.

We are encouraged to live by faith, not by sight, and to focus on pleasing God rather than people. Our aim should be to live for Jesus, recognizing that He died for all so that we might live for Him. This means surrendering to Him, devoting ourselves to His purpose, and giving our lives away for the kingdom.

We are also reminded that we will stand before the judgment seat of Christ, not to determine our salvation, but to receive rewards based on our faithfulness. This should instill in us a healthy fear and motivate us to examine our lives, making corrections where needed. We are called to be faithful stewards of the skills, abilities, motivations, opportunities, and responsibilities that God has given us.

Furthermore, we are a new creation in Christ, and the old has passed away while the new has come. We should regard others according to the Spirit, recognizing their eternal value and seeing them as God sees them. We are given the ministry of reconciliation, to call back into union and friendship those who have been alienated from God. We are ambassadors for Christ, pleading with the world to be reconciled to God, sharing the good news that Jesus paid the price for our sins.

Let us live in the light of eternity, knowing that we have a glorious future with new bodies, a judgment to come, a new creation in Christ, and a ministry of reconciliation to fulfill. May God give us success in our mission to share the message of reconciliation and live for Him.
