Mission or Mammon? | The Prosperity Gospel They Say They Don’t Preach – EP142

Many churches strongly condemn the prosperity gospel, but are they actually teaching something any different? In this episode, we examine the growing idea of "Kingdom prosperity" and compare it with what Scripture says about God's blessings, generosity, and financial provision. We look at several popular Apostolic teachings and ask whether changing the motive from personal luxury to funding the mission actually changes the theology. Most importantly, we discover that the New Testament's greatest promises aren't found in earthly wealth, but in the riches believers already have in Christ. If our greatest blessing is Christ Himself, then no amount of earthly prosperity could ever compare.Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned, in whatever situation I am, to be content. - Philippians 4:11 ESVLast Week: You Don’t Have to Prove Yourself | Freedom From Pentecostal Performance – EP141Playlists:Full Podcast Playlist⁠ - YoutubeHoliness StandardsThe Church BuildingExamining PentecostalismThe “MOG” (Man of God)All About The MoneyAbuse In The PulpitAddressing NAYC CommentsFEAR!!!
