Counterfeit Prophets

About this sermon

In 1971, a boy named David Vetter was placed into a germ-free protective bubble within seconds of being born. His immune system just did not work, leaving him with no ability to fight off even the most common germ or illness. Reading that story, I found myself wishing I could put the Church in a bubble just like it, where every piece of false teaching would be automatically filtered out. But Jesus made it clear that that is not the world we live in. As He neared the end of the Sermon on the Mount, He gave His highest spiritual alert, not about a danger coming from outside the Church but from within it: “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves” (Matthew 7:15, NIV). Three steps from Jesus Himself will equip you to recognize a counterfeit prophet, reject their teaching, and never be fooled.
