Episode 003 - The Prosperity Gospel

Today’s topic is the prosperity gospel. The Church exists not to be an isolated insulated community, but to be a missionary community. Our understanding of the Gospel is important because what we preach shapes our churches. We must guard against preaching a false gospel. So, why is the prosperity gospel spreading?

Notes from this episode:

• Gospel in Greek is euaggelion. It means “good news.”

• The Good News is first and foremost about Jesus.

• In the prosperity gospel, the great enemy is not reaching your potential or having enough faith to get what you want.

• There is a new version of the prosperity gospel that portrays Jesus as more of a life coach.

• Ephesians 1:5. This is your destiny.

• If you’re not being challenged with holiness and servanthood through God’s grace, then you’re under a prosperity gospel.

• Seek to be like the Bereans in Acts 17:11.

• It’s not about what you have, but you do with what you have. Does your excess meet someone else’s need or does it feed your greed?

• Ephesians 6. Our battle is not with flesh and blood. Be less concerned with what other people think of you and more concerned with what Jesus thinks.

• True prosperity is the prosperity of the soul being conformed to the image of Christ.

• Read the Gospels and New Testament. Marinate and pray over the Scriptures.
