In Don’t Mess With The Gospel (Part 2), we explore the various distortions of the true gospel that have infiltrated the church, including the prosperity gospel, the poverty gospel, the social gospel, and the liberal gospel. Paul warns in Galatians 1:6-10 that turning to a different gospel is a serious matter, and those who pervert the gospel of Christ are under a curse. The true gospel is salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone—any attempt to add to or subtract from it is a false gospel. Join us as we stand firm in the truth of the gospel of grace.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called
you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
Galatians 1:7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want
to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel
to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any
other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men?
For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
I) GOSPEL DISTORTIONS AND PERVERSIIONS.
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called
you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
Galatians 1:7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want
to pervert the gospel of Christ.
1) THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL.
2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though
He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty
might become rich.
Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and
showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
Matthew 4:9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down
and worship me.”
1 Timothy 3:3 “… not greedy for money…”
Titus 1:7 ” …not greedy for money.”
Luke 9:57 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him,
“Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.”
Luke 9:58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests,
but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
2) THE POVERTY GOSPEL.
2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though
He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty
might become rich.
Proverbs 30:7 Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die):
Proverbs 30:8 Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty
nor riches—Feed me with the food allotted to me;
Proverbs 30:9 Lest I be full and deny You, and say, “Who is the Lord?” Or lest I be poor
and steal, and profane the name of my God.
3) THE SOCIAL GOSPEL.
Matthew 25:44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see
You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not
minister to You?’
Matthew 25:45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch
as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’
Matthew 25:46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous
into eternal life.”
Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
John 18:36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were
of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews;
but now My kingdom is not from here.”
Adrian Rogers said, “If all we do is preach a social gospel then all we do is make this
world a better place to go to hell from.”
4) THE LIBERAL GOSPEL.
Jude 1:4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out
for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness
and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:4 (AMP) They are ungodly persons whose condemnation was predicted
long ago, for they distort the grace of our God into decadence and immoral
freedom [viewing it as an opportunity to do whatever they want], and deny
and disown our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:4 (ERV) They have used the grace of our God in the wrong way—to do
sinful things. They refuse to follow Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.
Jude 1:4 “… who turn the grace of our God into lewdness…”
Jude 1:4 (AMP) for they distort the grace of our God into decadence and immoral
freedom [viewing it as an opportunity to do whatever they want],
Jude 1:4 (ERV) They have used the grace of our God in the wrong way—to do
sinful things. They refuse to follow Jesus Christ, our only Master and Lord.
Cheap grace wants to justify the sin rather than the sinner.
True grace on the other hand, justifies the sinner, not the sin.
What this gospel says is come on in.
The water’s fine.
You come just as you are.
You stay just as you are.
You live just as you are.
You die just as you are.
Romans 5:20 “…. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,
Romans 5:20 (NCB) “… but the increase in sins was far exceeded by the increase
in grace.
Romans 5:20 (NLT) “… But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace
became more abundant.
Hymn lyrics
Grace, grace, God’s grace
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God’s grace
Grace that is greater than all our sin
Those great theologians the Animals once sang:
I’m just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound?
Romans 6:2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?
I) GOSPEL ACUSATIONS AND ANSWERS.
Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men?
For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.
The gospel is the foundation of the church, and any distortion of it is a serious matter. In Galatians 1:6-9, Paul warns against turning to a different gospel—one that is not truly the gospel at all. He declares that those who pervert the gospel of Christ are under a curse. This message, “Don’t Mess With The Gospel,” explores the dangers of legalism, works-based salvation, and man-centered religion. The true gospel is salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone. Join us as we dive into Paul’s passionate defense of the gospel and its implications for our faith today.

The gospel is the reason why this church or any church exists.
The gospel brings us together.
I) PAUL’S CONCERN: ANOTHER GOSPEL IS NOT THE GOSPEL.
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called
you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel,
Galatians 1:6 I marvel that you are turning away … to a different gospel,
Galatians 5:4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be
justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Galatians 1:7 which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want
to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Works-Based Man-Centered Religions:
Judaism: keeping of the law
Islam: five pillars
Buddhism: eight fold path
Hindu:reincarnation and karma
Mormonism: law of eternal progression
Jehovan’s Witnesses: works
Catholism: grace plus the sacrments
Religious Legalism: If you clean up your act,follow rituals, display religious dedication,
perform, perform, perform
Cardinal Francis George (quote)
“It boils down to this: Even though the Church is often less than what God intends
it to be, we still encounter Christ through the sacraments, especially through
Baptism and the Eucharist. This is how Christ comes to us, this is how we experience
God’s grace, this is how we find assurance. It is through the church and its ministries
that Christ comes to us to save us.”
As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs.
The moment your money thumps in the chest, one of your relatives finds heavenly rest!
Here is a quote from someone experiences raised in a protestant church:
Some of the churches I went to growing up had a tendency to emphasize conformity
to a set of rules as the mark of a real Christian.
Real Christians do this; they don’t do that.
The problem was these rules is that they were the center of Christianity for us, the
thing we focused on—if we did them God would accept us and we would be spiritual.
So, I usually left church thinking about what I needed to do to make myself more
acceptable to God rather than trusting in what God had done for me and promised
to do in me.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of
yourselves; it is the gift of God,
Ephesians 2:9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
II) PAUL’S CURSE: FROM A HYPOTHETICAL ONE TO AN ACTUAL ONE.
Galatians 1:8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel
to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
1 Corinthians 16:22, If anyone does not love the Lord, he is to be accursed,
Romans 9:3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren,
my countrymen according to the flesh,
Matthew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you
cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:
Galatians 1:9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any
other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.
John 7:38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow
rivers of living water.
John Newton: “I am not what I ought to be .. I am not what I wish to be … I am
not what I hope to be … Yet, though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish
to be, nor what I hope to be, I can truly say, I am not what I once was; a slave to
sin and Satan; and I can heartily join with the apostle, and acknowledge, ‘By the
grace of God I am what I am.'”
Augustus Toplady words in the hymn Rock of Ages
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill thy laws’ demands
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save and Thou Alone..
This passage from Galatians 1:1-5 highlights Paul’s apostleship, his message of grace, and the mission of Christ to redeem sinners. It emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ’s finished work on the cross, rejecting any addition of human effort to salvation. The text outlines the themes of ministry, message, mission, and motive, pointing to God’s glory and the transformative power of the gospel. Supporting Scriptures from Corinthians, Psalms, Matthew, John, and Titus further reinforce the doctrines of grace, redemption, and God’s sovereignty.

1) ONE MAN’S MINISTRY: GO AND MAKE DISCIPLES.
Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus
Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead),
1 Corinthians 15:9 For I am the least of all the apostles. In fact, I’m not even worthy
to be called an apostle after the way I persecuted God’s church.
1 Corinthians 15:10 But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out his
special favor on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than

by his grace.

2) ONE MAN’S MESSAGE: GRACE OF GOD.
Galatians 1:3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ,

Galatians 1:4 who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present
evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
Matthew 12:29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods,
unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill destroy; I have come that they
might have life, and have it to the full.”
1) It meant a transfer from darkness to light.
2) It meant a transfer from slavery to freedom.
3) It meant a transfer from condemnation to forgiveness.
4) It meant a transfer from the power of Satan to the power of God.
Psalm 22:4 Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them.
Psalm 22:5 They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were
not ashamed.
4) ONE MAN’S MOTIVE: GLORY OF GOD.
Galatians 1:5 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the
glory of God.
Hymn “To God Be The Glory”
To God be the glory great things He has done
So loved He the world that He gave us His son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate that all may go in
Max Lucado (quote)
“You may be decent. You may pay taxes and kiss your kids and sleep with a clean
conscience. But apart from Christ you aren’t holy. So how can you go to heaven?
Only believe. Accept the work already done, the work of Jesus on the cross.
Only believe . . . It’s that simple? It’s that simple. It’s that easy?
There was nothing easy at all about it. The cross was heavy, the blood was real,
and the price was extravagant. It would have bankrupted you or me, so he paid
it for us. Call it simple. Call it a gift. But don’t call it easy. Call it what it is.
Call it grace.”
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.
In this insightful sermon on “God’s Guiding Principles for Gray Areas (Part 2)”, we explore biblical wisdom from Romans 14 and other scriptures about making decisions in morally ambiguous situations. Drawing from Paul’s teachings, we examine 7 key questions to guide our choices: Will it direct or detour us? Build up or tear down? Help or hinder? Free or enslave? Free or violate our conscience? Lead us by faith or feelings? Lift up or weigh down? Learn practical biblical principles for navigating life’s complex moral decisions while respecting others’ convictions and maintaining spiritual freedom. Perfect for Christians seeking wisdom in decision-making and understanding biblical perspectives on personal convictions. Based on Romans 14, 1 Corinthians 6:12, 10:23, Galatians 5:16, and Hebrews 12:1.

In this sermon, “God’s Guiding Principles for Gray Areas,” we explore the biblical wisdom that challenges the idea that “all things are lawful.” Drawing from scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 10:23 and 6:12, Proverbs 4:7, Romans 15, and Galatians 5, we learn that while many choices may be allowed, not every decision leads to growth, edification, or freedom.
Key questions guide our reflection:
Will This Direct Me or Detour Me?
Discover how to choose paths that lead to constructive outcomes rather than distractions.
Will This Build Me Up or Tear Me Down?
Understand the importance of actions that edify and strengthen not just ourselves, but the community around us.
Will This Help Me or Hinder Me?
Evaluate whether our choices contribute to our well-being or become stumbling blocks in our journey.
Will This Free Me or Enslave Me?
Learn that true freedom is not about indulging every desire but about living under God’s guidance, avoiding the chains of sin and unhealthy habits.
We also address modern challenges—from lifestyle and health issues to societal trends—that echo the timeless struggle between liberty and bondage. Join us as we unpack how living with wisdom and moderation not only honors God but also transforms our lives, ensuring that our freedom truly sets us free.
Tune in to discover a biblical blueprint for making choices that lead to a healthier, more fulfilling life in Christ!

We are the sickiest country in the world.
In 1960, 6% of Americans had chronic disease, today 60% do.
Our children are the sickest generation in American history.
Our kids have autoimmune diseases, neurological diseases, obesity,
300% increase in diabetes
38% of teenagers are now prediabetic
We are on the verge of, at best, a health crisis and, at worst, a societal collapse
with 20% of GDP going to health expenditures.
Jesse Watters quote on The Five on 01/29/25
” I want to tell you a little story about Jimmy. So Jimmy wakes up in the morning
and both parents work, so they don’t have time to make him eggs, so he has
frosted flacks and fruit juice. So he goes to school and he is all hopped up on sugar
and he crashes. And then he does the school lunch program and he does grilled
cheese, cheetohs and cherry coke, so he is hopped up again then he crashes.
The people at the school tell the parents this kid must be bi-polar or ADHD so
you gotta medicate him. So he is medicated. Then he doesn’t do recess because
he is looking at his phone the whole time. And at the after school program he is inside.
Then he goes home and since his parents are helicopter parents, they don’t let
him outside to play in the neighborhood because they are worried about pedophiles.
So he goes inside and plops himself in front of the television until his parents
come home and they are too busy because they are back from work and so they
order ‘take out’ more fried food. And then he sits in front of his ipad before he
goes to sleep and he doesn’t get a good sleep because he has had screen time
all day, no sunlight and no exercise. And this cycle repeats itself for years until
he is single, suicidal, overmedicated, fat, sick, lonely and depressed.”
There are millions of Jimmys out there in this country who have been neglected,
preyed upon and they want to get healthy but they don’t have the knowledge,
the support system or the environment to make it happen.”
Philiippians 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men.
1 Corinthians 6:12 (VOICE) So you say, “For me, all things are permitted.” Here’s my
response: I will not allow anything to control me.
John 8:32 (ESV) And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed
Galations 5:1 For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not
submit again to a yoke of slavery
Freedom is not living independent of God, freedom is living dependent on God.
There is no freedom apart from God.
Galatians 5:13 (NLT) … Don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature.
Galatians 5:13 (TLB) … You have been given freedom: not freedom to do wrong
Galatians 5:13 (TMG) Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an
excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom.
Kris Kristofferson quote:
Freedom is just another word for nothin’ left to lose.
Quote from the novel, “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”
“And when nobody wakes you up in the morning. And when nobody waits for you
at night. And when you can do whatever you want. What do you call it? Freedom
or loneliness.”
The deceptive power of sin is so great that it makes it possible for a person to be
a slave to something and think they are free..”
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of
sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
Romans 6:7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.
