Considering the Sacrifice of Service
True devotion to Christ and his cause is always marked by sacrifice and suffering — costs we must willingly embrace because we love him and his people.
In a world full of religious voices, online Christian “experts,” and countless theological pundits, it’s easy to be drawn into ways of thinking that can harm our Christian lives. This drift can be so subtle that we hardly recognize it. Second Corinthians 11 provides an essential safeguard—sharpening our discernment and protecting us from error. As Paul addresses the threats of his day, God uses this passage to help us identify those in ours. Don’t miss this five-part series as Pastor Mike raises our awareness and underscores the importance of being urgently devoted to Christ and the truth.
True devotion to Christ and his cause is always marked by sacrifice and suffering — costs we must willingly embrace because we love him and his people.
We must never submit to those who claim spiritual authority while leading with exploitation, domination, and contempt.
We must remain constantly vigilant against the unrelenting efforts of God’s spiritual enemies to strategically displace the authority of Scripture with the authority of their own voices.
We must learn to biblically assess spiritual leaders and wholeheartedly commit to those who demonstrate the qualifications God’s Word requires.
Because God is jealous for our allegiance to Christ, we must guard our devotion from deceptive and twisted views of Christianity.
