The Judgement and Character of Spiritual Counterfeits

Jul 9, 2023    Pastor Ben Crawford

Listen in as we explore the importance of remembrance and the dangers of apostasy. Drawing from the words of Jude, we reflect on the goodness of God, His covenants with Israel, His commandments, and His unwavering love for us. We take a moment to pause and remember the events of September 11, 2001, discussing the impact it had on our nation and how the phrase "Let's roll" became a rallying cry in the fight against terrorism.


Join us as we journey through biblical passages that discuss the rebellion of fallen angels. These heavenly beings, who were given specific roles and responsibilities, fell from grace when they disobeyed the divine order and left their proper dwellings. We examine the Greek word 'apoluma' found in John 3:36 and discuss the implications of God's wrath for those who defy His Son. 


In the final segment of our discussion, we highlight the perils of false teaching and apostasy. We discuss how God condemns prophets who spread lies and deceitful dreams in His name and how Paul warned Timothy of lying spirits and false teachings. We identify the tell-tale signs of those who have fallen away from faith, such as their insatiable sinful desires and their rejection of authority. Wrapping up the episode, we offer a prayer for humility, grace, and courage in our faith and service to God. Come and join us at Crosspointe Church for our service times at 9, 30, and 11 am.
