About this sermon

For as long as there have been false teachers, one of the ways those false teachers have impressed the impressionable, deceived the naïve, and mislead the unstable, is the claim of supernatural experiences. Satan works through the lying imaginations of deceived men. Paul is dealing with that in Corinth. Paul has been answering the foolishness in the Corinthian church in a way that he finally determined was required. He has answered the fool according to his folly by playing the role of the fool. The false teachers were lying braggarts and Paul puts his own credentials on display to expose their empty claims. And when we come to chapter 12, he tells us that though he would like to be finished with this comparison of credentials, he can’t stop yet. He has another category of boasting that he knows he must deal with.
