Acts 29: Churches Planting Churches

There is only one true gospel—and it’s not the health, wealth, and prosperity gospel. In fact, the so-called prosperity gospel is no gospel at all. Jesus did not come to make us rich, healthy, and comfortable; he came for us in our rebellion, in our hatred of God, and he died for us. As Paul says, “God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8).

We must never settle for anything less than this one true gospel. Paul warned the Galatians, “If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed” (Gal. 1:8). Paul took seriously the preaching of the true gospel, and as church-planting pastors, we must do the same.

In various parts of the world today, church planters will encounter the so-called prosperity gospel. So how can pastors penetrate these dark places that are deceived by false light?

To help us think about these things and more, I’m excited to have Robert Manda with me on the podcast.

Listen to this episode of Churches Planting Churches.

Is there enough evidence for us to believe the Gospels?

In an age of faith deconstruction and skepticism about the Bible’s authority, it’s common to hear claims that the Gospels are unreliable propaganda. And if the Gospels are shown to be historically unreliable, the whole foundation of Christianity begins to crumble.
But the Gospels are historically reliable. And the evidence for this is vast.
