This week we look at the false gospel called the social gospel. It is mostly a political ideology that hijacks the true gospel of Jesus and changes it into a political message of something other than personal salvation and life change, into a new false gospel. This false gospel is one of giving governments power to bring "social justice" to the world by claiming that this is Jesus's true message. We look at where this comes from briefly and what scripture has to say about these claims.

The sermon explores the doctrine of divine providence through the distribution of land to the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh in Joshua 16-17. It emphasizes God's absolute freedom to govern human circumstances contrary to human expectations, illustrated by the reversal of birthright blessings. The text highlights the vital role of prayer in engaging with God's sovereign will, using the example of Zelophehad's daughters who petitioned for their inheritance. Furthermore, it stresses personal responsibility, noting that while God ordains outcomes, believers must actively obey His commands and fight spiritual battles rather than remaining passive. Ultimately, the message calls listeners to trust God's wisdom while diligently pursuing holiness and obedience in their daily lives.

God permits broken economic systems to exist due to human sin. He ultimately accomplishes His sovereign will in spite of flawed earthly governments that are temporary until Christ reigns eternally.

Who is the Ancient of Days, and who is the Son of Man mentioned here? The sermon explores Daniel chapter 7 to contrast the tyranny of worldly kingdoms with the eternal sovereignty of God. It identifies the Ancient of Days as the pure and powerful judge who destroys evil, while presenting the Son of Man as Jesus Christ, who bridges divinity and humanity to offer salvation. The preacher argues that believers are currently outposts of this heavenly kingdom, empowered to bring spiritual and earthly transformation. This perspective encourages Christians to live with hope and purpose, recognizing that their authority comes from Christ rather than corrupt political systems. Ultimately, the message calls for personal submission to Jesus as King to experience true peace and participate in God's redemptive work.

The enemies of God's vineyard are destroyed by his sword, while even briers and thorns are invited to be reconciled to God because fury is not in him.
