Gospel Grace Church Sermon Audio

2 Corinthians 11:1-15 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - The true Jesus suffered unspeakably. The true Spirit groans with this suffering world. The true gospel is a message of a crucified Lord. But some people don’t resonate with that. They prefer another Jesus, a different spirit, and ultimately a different gospel. And I think it’s because a suffering Messiah, a groaning Spirit and a cruciform message might point to a difficult form of discipleship. We’d rather have a therapeutic Jesus, an inspirational spirit, and a prosperity gospel. Because that would allow us to pursue the American dream with comfort and ease. My friends, we can’t compromise on the truth. Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” May the Lord grant us courage and faith to follow him alone.
