The Dangerous Difference Between Following Jesus and Using Him


Listen Later

What if one hidden motive could expose everything you think you know about your relationship with God?

In Acts 8, Simon the Sorcerer believed, was baptized, and followed the ministry closely. Yet Peter confronted him with a shocking truth: his heart wasn't right before God. Why? Because he wanted God's power without God's rule.

This message reveals the dangerous difference between being self-focused and kingdom-focused. Are you seeking Christ as Kingโ€”or simply hoping He'll help you get what you want? Recognition, success, influence, security, spiritual experiences, or something else?

Discover the warning hidden in Simon's story, the marks of a heart surrendered to God's kingdom, and why the Holy Spirit cannot be separated from holiness.

๐Ÿ“– Scripture: Acts 8:9โ€“24

If you've ever struggled with pride, insecurity, jealousy, the need for approval, or the temptation to use God for personal gain, this message is for you.
