16. The Perils of a Popular Christ - Mark 3:7-12

from Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai · host Trinity Presbyterian Church

As Jesus began performing miracles, His fame spread rapidly among both Jews and Gentiles. Large crowds followed Him, seeking healing from sickness and deliverance from demons. While these are good reasons, they sought Jesus only for their earthly needs. Sadly, they did not see Him as their Messiah, who could give them a far greater deliverance from sin and eternal judgment.Even today, there is a “popular” Christ who is sought only for material benefits. Each person must examine their heart: are they following Jesus for worldly comfort, or to truly know Him? Do they believe in the true gospel of Jesus Christ or in the popular prosperity gospel? This sermon explores the dangers of a “popular” Christ and how we can examine our hearts to see whether we follow Jesus Christ for who He truly is.This sermon was preached by Rev Christopher Poshin David on March 22, 2026, at Trinity Presbyterian Church, Chennai.Visit our website ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.trinitypresbyterianchennai.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ and follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube ⁠⁠⁠and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠for more resources!
