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.
