[2] The title of the sermon: “WATCH ME SO YOU CAN BE SAVED.”

  • I’ve heard many preachers in my life teach others this exact same false doctrine.
  • And let me be very clear: “THIS IS A VERY EVIL AND WICKED DOCTRINE.”
  • They say, “We live like we do so people can watch us and ask us how to be like us.”
  • Hey, “Just have people watch you so they can be good like you.”

They aren’t going to go out and preach the Gospel to anyone.

  • They want people to watch them, and they want people to be like them.
  • They are happy going to church once a week (or never at all), going home, and never mentioning Jesus Christ to anyone.
  • They aren’t interested in preaching the Gospel to anyone.
  • They think they are somehow fulfilling the Scriptures by being so great.

“Hey, if you just watch me, you’ll see how great it is to be a Christian and you’ll want to be like me.”

  • Hey, guess what? That’s not how it works. The Holy and perfect Scriptures don’t say anything like that.
  • Actually, they say the exact opposite. You’ve been deceived.

If you think you’re living a good life by allowing others to watch your greatness, you’ve lost it up here.

  • It’s time to smack yourself upside the head, get your Bible out, and actually read it.
  • Look for the Scriptures that say anything like this.
  • Did Jesus come to earth, live a normal life, and never preach to anyone?
  • Did Jesus say, “You all just watch me. I will be silent at all times. Just live like me.”
  • Or, did Jesus go out, open His mouth, preach to people, and get people saved?
  • Do you think it’s only the job of one man or ten men to preach the Gospel to the entire area you live in?

Or, are you waiting for people to come to your church so they can never hear the actual Gospel in your church?

  • Most churches never even mention the Gospel of Jesus Christ any more.
  • They never even mention how to be saved. They never mention how to go to heaven. Not once.

If you don’t know that you should be giving the Gospel to other people, then your church never taught you.

  • Then you most likely aren’t saved, and the people leading your church most likely aren’t saved.
  • They don’t preach the Gospel because they don’t know the Gospel.
  • Do you know what Jesus Christ actually commands us to do?

[3] Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

  • Jesus never says to keep quiet and not give someone the Gospel.
  • “Oh, you just go on home. Live a perfect life without problems. Be rich.”
  • “People will notice you and want to be just like you.” How much more arrogant could someone be?
  • Hey, I know because I listened to that trash for several years. And I fell for it too.
  • It’s time to wake up. Do you really want to show other people how great you are now?

Do you want to show them how much money you have, how kind you are, how loving you are?

  • This takes you to the point where you think you are better than God. It does.
  • You can see this in churches today. They think it’s better to not use God’s words.
  • You have women standing up preaching in churches when God clearly says, “NO.”
  • You have homosexuals leading churches today. God clearly says, “NO.”

You begin to think that you are so great. You lift up yourself above God.

  • “I have not sinned once today. I am so great.” God tells us otherwise within the Bible.
  • As long as we are in this flesh, we are not good. No good thing dwelleth within this flesh.
  • This flesh is what causes us to think we are so great in comparison to God.

For example, God says that He hates people. You would say, “Oh no, I would never hate anyone.”

  • “I have no hate in my heart.” I’ve talked to pastors who say these things.
  • What do you think they are preaching in their churches? What do you think they are teaching?
  • God hates. He says so clearly within the Bible. But you are too good to hate anything?
  • Maybe you don’t understand Biblical hate. Maybe you allow the world to shame you.

Hate means to reject something or someone. If I hate someone, I reject them. I won’t stand with them.

  • I won’t be with them. Are you so great that you’ve never done that in your life?
  • For example, will you go and make friends at the gay bar, strip club, and neighborhood drug house?
  • Will you go make some friends at the whore house like they teach you in the movies?
  • Will you go make friends with the murderers and serial killers who want to slaughter you?

Or, do you reject those things? This would be hating them if you reject those things.

  • What about the local KKK club? Do you go down there and make friends?
  • Do you go to the Mason’s club, learn some secrets, and worship Satan while you’re at it?
  • What about the local Nazi’s? Do you make friends with them? The local Black Lives Matter group?
  • Do you go to the drag queen story time and take your children with you?
  • Do you send your children to the public schools so they can teach your kids to hate God?
  • Do you love when the public schools teach that we all came from animals? What an idiotic thing to say.

Is there anything you hate and reject? Or, do you really accept anyone and everything?

  • If you say that you don’t hate anything, you are an absolute 100% lying fool. That’s the truth.
  • Everyone has love and hate built into them. Everyone has joy and anger built into them.
  • Some people will say, “I never get angry.” Then you aren’t human, liar.
  • Do you love pedophiles, child molesters, liars, thieves, and serial killers?
  • Do you decide which ones are good enough and which ones are bad enough? Are you God?

Do you join in with all of this evil? Do you support them? Or, do you hate these things and won’t stand for them?

  • God commands you to be against many things in the Bible. He commands you to hate the evil.
  • He says to love the good and hate the evil. He says to establish righteous judgement.
  • If you don’t hate evil and wickedness, God even says that you don’t have love.

[4] Psalm 97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

  • If you don’t hate anything or anyone, then you don’t love the Lord.
  • This is what the Bible says. You can argue with the word of God if you want. You will lose that argument.

Churches all across this world bring this false doctrine to people and spread this false doctrine.

  • They want you to think that you are so righteous and good. They want you to lift yourself up.
  • This makes you feel greater than you happen to be. They want you to do nothing but listen to their lies.
  • They want you to be content with no one learning the Bible. They minimize Scripture.
  • They want you to just come and show yourself off every Sunday morning. “Look how great I am.”
  • “Look at all the compliments I get from the church people. This is fun. I am coming back.”
  • Church isn’t about you and for you. Church is about God and the worship of Him.

If you are a Christian, and you’ve never given the true Gospel to anyone, you are failing right now.

  • There are 80, 90 year old men and women in churches today who have never given the Gospel to anyone.
  • They don’t even know the Gospel. No one has ever given it to them. But they come sit in the churches.
  • And the churches teach them nothing. But they think they are good while they do nothing for Jesus Christ.
  • I am telling you the truth right now. The actual Gospel is foreign in most churches today.
  • But this false doctrine of “Watch me so you can be good like me” is everywhere. What a lie.
  • What a deception. And it’s working. It’s worked for many, many years now.

“Hey, you watch what I do so you can be good like me. I will get you to heaven.”

  • “Watch me so you can be amazingly great like me. Learn all of my ways.” Let’s find some Scriptures.
  • Let’s see if you are so great like you think.

[5] Psalm 14:1-3 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

  • All of these great people will claim to read Psalms over and over again. Yes, this is talking about you.
  • The great people out there will read this and say, “That’s not talking about me.”
  • Yes, it is talking about you. You are filthy. Think of what you’ve done in your life. You aren’t good.
  • “But I’ve been to church my whole life.” Yes, and you did nothing good in church.
  • You don’t even know that the Bible tells you that you aren’t good.

[6] Romans 3:10-12 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

[7] Job 14:4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

  • Women are unclean because they’ve been with man. Mary was a virgin.
  • Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? We were all born of unclean women.
  • We are all sinners. There is none good. NO ONE. This means you.

[8] Job 15:14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

[9] Job 15:16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

[10] Job 25:4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

  • Do you listen to the words of the Bible? We know that we aren’t good when we listen to God’s words.

[11] Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

  • All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. WAY SHORT.

[12] 1 John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

  • We all sin. Now, there’s more Scripture than that throughout the Bible. Hundreds of Scriptures.
  • You might not like them. But the truth is the truth.
  • Now, if you believe the words of the Bible, you know that you aren’t so great.
  • Do you still want people to watch you so they can be just like you?
  • Do you want them to see how God healed you of everything and your life is so great now?

Here’s the truth. God didn’t heal you of everything at this time. Your body is still dying.

  • Your body is not redeemed. Your flesh is evil. Do you still want people to model themselves after you?
  • “Hey, just watch me everybody and you can be great like me.”
  • “Watch how I live such a great Christian life and copy everything that I do.”
  • “Then you will be saved and go to heaven because of your greatness.”

“Did you see how great I am?” This is what churches are teaching people.

  • “Are you a fan or a follower?” This is the trash churches are teaching people.
  • “Hey, buy my books and read my books so you can see how intelligent I happen to be.”
  • “Follow me for I am Christ. I will save you if you just follow me.”
  • The Bible tells us that many people will proclaim to be Christ.
  • “Hey, I am Christ. No, over here. I am Christ. Look at me. Follow me. Do what I do. Copy me.”
  • “Mimic me. Be what I am. Do what I do. Watch me. Covet me. I AM.”

I don’t care what you think about this sermon either because this is the truth in the churches today.

  • The so-called Christians make me want to vomit. They go to church to get praise for themselves.
  • They go to church to grow their business. They go to church to make more money.
  • They go to church to get all of the free benefits the churches give them.
  • Free fitness center. Free child care. Free food. They draw you in to their false doctrine.
  • They spread a net for your feet. And you go running right into it.

Here’s the truth. Most churches work for Satan. The churches don’t want you to spread the truth of the Gospel.

  • They want you to do nothing. They want you to think you are being watched by everyone.
  • They want you to want people to covet after all the things that you have.
  • They start by appointing a pastor who wants you to covet after him, his wife, and his family.
  • People begin having contests on who is better, who is more blessed, who has more money, and so on.
  • And they think this lie will win people to Jesus Christ. Listen, you must wake up.
  • If you can’t see what’s happening, it’s time to use your windshield wipers. Clear it all off. See clearly.

[13] Exodus 20:17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

  • Thou shalt not covet ANYTHING that is thy neighbor’s. We don’t want people to watch us.
  • We don’t want people to want what we have. This is pure evil. We want people to want Jesus Christ.
  • We want people to be saved, and we do this God’s way.

[14] Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

  • Coveting is lusting. The wicked want people to lust after them. The Book of Proverbs tells us this.
  • Coveting is not love. The wicked want people to join with their wicked ways.
  • And, please understand, waiting for people to lust after you and your life doesn’t win souls to Christ.
  • Encouraging sin doesn’t lead people to Jesus Christ. This leads them away from Jesus Christ.
  • This leads them towards man and not towards God. Is this serious? Yes, very serious.
  • Again, will we listen to man and his teaching or God and his teaching? What will you do?

Many people claim to be so Godly. They think very highly of themselves. This is not Scriptural.

  • We are to humble ourselves before God. Job says, “I will now lay my hand upon my mouth.”
  • When God speaks in His Scriptures, it is a big deal. His words are magnified above His own name.
  • Our words are not magnified. Our life shouldn’t be magnified.
  • The life of Jesus Christ should be what we magnify. What He did for all, should be magnified.

So, what does Jesus Christ command us to do? He commands us to preach the Gospel.

  • Do you know the Gospel? You can’t preach the Gospel if you don’t know the Gospel.
  • Do you know how to get to heaven so you can share this with others?

Or, do you think it’s all about living a good life, going to church, and being baptized?

  • Is that salvation? Where’s Jesus Christ in that equation? Being good doesn’t equal salvation.
  • It does if you’ve been perfect your entire life. But you aren’t perfect and good all the time.
  • You’ve been bad. I’ve been bad. I still do bad. I still do wrong. You do too. We aren’t good.
  • So, how in the world would salvation be all about our goodness? We don’t have it.

Why would you want others to watch your life so they can be just like you? NOT GOOD.

  • Is that what you really want? Do you think so great of yourself? Are you really that great?
  • Seriously, do you lift yourself up to be like God? Think about your life. Have you been so great?

Have you never done anything wrong? Were you born of a virgin?

  • Do you have all the Scriptures memorized? Are you the Word of God?
  • Were you slain before the foundation of the world? Do you speak things into existence?
  • Are you the Holy and Perfect Lamb of God? Will you come in the clouds one day to give us all a new body?
  • Think about these things. Churches love to lift you up so you feel great about yourself. It’s a lie.
  • One of the greatest prayers in the Bible was made by Hannah who is the mother to Samuel the prophet.
  • Listen to what she says here.

[15] 1 Samuel 2:1-3 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. 2 There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. 3 Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.

  • We give all glory and honor to the Lord God Almighty. Not to ourselves. We aren’t holy.
  • “There is none holy as the Lord. For there is none beside thee. There is no rock like our God.”
  • “Talk no more exceedingly proudly. Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth.”

Some people sure think that they are holy. We call them holier than thous. They do nothing wrong.

  • These holier than thous are the people who think you should be watching them.
  • Your life should be patterned after their amazingly holy life. They think they live a holy life.
  • They think they are healed of everything. But yet, their body is still dying.
  • “For the wages of sin is death.” As we grow older, more things go wrong and go bad.
  • For example, your back might be going bad. Hey, reminder. You aren’t holy. You are a sinner.
  • You are dying because of the sin you have committed. Let’s continue with Hannah’s prayer.

[16] 1 Samuel 2:4-6 The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength. 5 They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble. 6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.

  • Only God can do these things. You aren’t God. Isn’t it horrible that this needs to be preached?
  • In today’s world, this needs to be preached. People are so deceived now. They think they are God.
  • They think so highly of themselves even though they do wrong each and every day.

[17] 1 Samuel 2:7-8 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD’S, and he hath set the world upon them.

  • This earth sits on nothing in space. It’s very heavy. God placed invisible pillars there to hold it there.
  • The pillars of this earth are the Lord’s. You don’t own them. You don’t hold them there.
  • You aren’t the Savior of the world. None of us are. We are from the dust of the earth.
  • We are from the dirt. You might not like this humbling sermon message.
  • Well, maybe you think too highly of yourself.

[18] 1 Samuel 2:9-10 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

  • Do you know who the King of this earth will be? Jesus Christ. He is exalted. He will reign here in person.
  • By strength, no man will prevail. Measure your strength against God’s strength.
  • Take every man who has ever lived and will live. Put them all together. Measure their strength.

They can’t lift this earth. They can’t make a mountain tremble. They are nothing compared to God.

  • Absolutely nothing. Lift up your fist against God and He will shatter you into little pieces of dust.
  • All of you. You will be silent in darkness. You shall be broken to pieces. God thunders out of heaven.
  • You will be scared to death when God comes face to face with you. You can’t even look at Him and live.
  • God does what He wants. No one can stop Him. He is a good God.
  • But mess with Him, and He will be your worst enemy. Now, do you still say:
  • “Watch me so you can be saved. Be just like me. I am so good. I am so great. I am so amazing.”
  • “Follow me so you can be a great person like me.” Will you still say these things and be deceived?

These churches and preachers are actually teaching you to get someone to covet you.

  • Do you know how evil that would be? We are not to be proud and arrogant about ourselves.
  • If you want people to watch you and your greatness so they can be saved, this is pure evil.
  • We must wake up in the churches and see what’s happening. Can you not see?
  • They leave God’s words. They minimize God’s words. They lift themselves so high.

Isn’t it funny the Christians who think these things love to tell me how to preach as well?

  • They think themselves to be so great. They think I am low because I use words in the Bible.
  • I will say words like whore, bastard, ass, dung, piss, fool. All in the Bible.
  • I will say stupid, idiot, clown, trash, homo, faggot, queer, and other words.
  • The holier than thous love to tell me which words I can use and which words I can’t use.
  • All I am doing is preaching and teaching the word of God. I preach against this world.

But these same people love to act like I am out there selling drugs, killing others, and harming so many people.

  • They will tell me what I am doing wrong. They love to do this. They don’t want people to listen to me.
  • They want people to listen to them and be just like them. Let me be clear. I don’t you to be like me.
  • This would be very sad to me because I know me. You don’t want to be like me. Trust me. I know.
  • DON’T BE LIKE ME. Don’t watch my life and try to mimic my life. I am not good. I have not been good.
  • I still mess up every day. Why would I tell you to be like me so you can be saved through my goodness?
  • I don’t have any goodness of myself. All of my goodness only comes through Jesus Christ ALONE.

So, these holier than thous who believe themselves to be great (I WAS ONE OF THEM SO I KNOW), they attack me for saying certain words, BUT they won’t go out and tell a drug dealer they are doing wrong.

  • They won’t go out and give a whore the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They hate Rahab the harlot.
  • Is a whore so bad that she can’t be saved? No. The example is in the Bible.
  • But you’re so much greater than Rahab the whore, right? The Bible calls her this. I didn’t make it up.

[19] Matthew 1:5-6 And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6 And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;

  • The mother of Boaz in the book of Ruth is Rahab the harlot. Boaz has Obed. Obed has Jesse.
  • Jesse has King David. Matthew Chapter 1 gives us the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David.
  • Rahab is in the physical line of Jesus Christ. She was a harlot. Do you understand this?
  • She was saved by faith in God. She was forgiven of all her sins. Are you in the line of Jesus Christ?
  • Are you so great? Are you a Pharisee? Do you want to sound like them and be like them?

The words I use within the Bible, such as whore, are so offensive to these people who are so great.

  • Their tongues are so awesome, kind, loving, and so amazing. Nothing bad ever comes out of them.
  • The offensive part should be the actual act of whoredom, but many are okay with that.
  • It’s just my use of the word whore. It’s not the actual acts being committed that bother these people.
  • It’s the words that bother them because they are so great.

They won’t go out and tell a homosexual that they do evil and wicked things.

  • They won’t accidentally give a homosexual the Gospel.
  • But they’ll tell me how wrong I am for saying homosexuality is evil.
  • These same things happen all throughout the Bible too. It’s no surprise. Give us Barabbas.
  • They didn’t want Jesus Christ because His words were so offensive to them.
  • So they would choose a murderer over Jesus Christ. The world repeats the mistakes.

Jesus Christ commands us to preach the Gospel. We are not to do nothing and simply live our lives how we want.

  • Churches teach this. Just come to church, live a good life, and others will see you.
  • Others will want to be like you. Others will see the great blessings you have and want them too.
  • WHAT??? Listen to what you’re falling for out there. Actually think about it.
  • This will not work. This will not win people to Jesus Christ.
  • Will you actually wait around hoping someone will start watching you and want to be stalk you?
  • And you think this will win them to Jesus Christ? Not even doubtful. Won’t happen.

How do you win someone to Jesus Christ? You can give them the Gospel in 15 minutes or less.

  • They don’t need to watch you live your life. Your life doesn’t save them. Jesus Christ saves them.
  • The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ saves them. We aren’t good. We can’t save ourselves.
  • We simply change our mind about everything else and put our trust in Jesus Christ alone.
  • If you add anything else to “THE SAVIOR” of the world, you don’t trust in “THE SAVIOR” of the world.

Jesus Christ is all that you need to be saved. He did all the work already. He wants to give you a free gift.

  • He died for ALL YOUR SINS already: past, present, and future.
  • You can have everlasting life right now by simply believing in Him.
  • Nothing else is required. NOTHING ELSE.
  • If you want to argue with that, you will be arguing with the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

[20] John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

  • Hey, this is the man who takes away the sin of the world. He’s here. His name is Jesus Christ.
  • You are not Him. John the Baptist didn’t look at you and say, “Behold the Lamb of God.”
  • “You are the one who takes away the sin of the world with your greatness.” You aren’t Him. Surprise!

[21] John 3:15-18 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

  • The Scriptures right there are enough to save you. Simply believe what they say.
  • The entire Bible says the same thing. Abraham wasn’t saved by his works.

[22] Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

[23] Galatians 3:6-8 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

  • Faith alone saves you. Can faith save him? YES. God says so. Nothing else is required.
  • If you think your goodness is required, you don’t have faith in Jesus Christ.
  • You’re placing your faith in yourself. This is very stupid and very foolish. I tell you the truth.
  • Have you not proved to yourself that you can’t even trust yourself? You have. Think about it.

Now is the time to get this right. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He saves you. No one else can.

  • God the Father sent HIS SON to be the SAVIOR of the world. That means He alone is your Savior.
  • But He won’t save you unless you trust in Him. And it only takes a moment.
  • So, right now, whoever you are and wherever you are. God doesn’t care what you’ve done.
  • The goodness of the badness of your life doesn’t send you to heaven or condemn you to hell.
  • The only thing that does this is whether or not you will believe “IN” the Lord Jesus Christ.
  • Now is the time to change your mind about anything and everything else that you think saves you.
  • Now is the time to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Understand what this means.

He was born of a virgin. He lived a perfect and holy life. Never sinned once. He was in this same flesh.

  • He won. He overcame. We haven’t. He went to the cross. He was killed and betrayed by His own people.
  • He was beaten. He was spit upon. He was mocked over and over again. The world didn’t love Him.
  • The world still hates Him. Will you be one of them? Or, will you trust in the Son of God who died for you?
  • His soul went to hell. His soul was a burnt offering for all of our sin. His body was buried.
  • He arose from the dead 3 days later. He wasn’t dead for 5 minutes. He wasn’t dead for an hour.
  • He was dead for 3 days and 3 nights. And you might say, “He wasn’t dead.” Yes He was dead.

[24] Revelation 1:17-18 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

  • Here’s the truth. If you won’t believe on Jesus Christ, you will go to hell and burn forever in torment.
  • It’s not based on your goodness. It’s based on whether or not you will believe in Him. That’s it.
  • That’s the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s His Gospel. It’s His good news to you.
  • Do it right now. Believe in Him. Be saved in a moment. He gives you everlasting life right now.
  • Your soul will never die. He died for you. Don’t turn Him down right now.

[25] John 11:25-27 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

  • Jesus Christ says, “Whosoever liveth (that’s you right now) and believeth in me shall never die.”
  • If you believe IN HIM right now, you will never die. Do you believe that? If so, you’re saved right now.
  • That is why we are to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s easy. It’s simple. Anyone can preach it.
  • God chose the foolishness of preaching to save people. Jesus sent Paul to preach the Gospel.

[26] 1 Corinthians 1:17-18 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

  • If you truly want people to be saved, you preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Nothing else saves them.
  • If you wait for people to watch you so they can be saved, you are sending them to hell.
  • Open your mouth, talk to them for 15 minutes, give them the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
  • This is what saves people. This is the power of God. Your life on display doesn’t save people.
  • But you opening your mouth and doing what Jesus said to do, which is to preach the Gospel, will save people.

[27] 1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

  • If you’re hearing this today, God is calling you right now just as you might get a call on the phone.
  • He’s calling you. Will you pick it up? Will you answer your Creator who gave you life?
  • He has many great things that He wants to give you. He wants to start with eternal life.
  • He wants to start with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Hey, this is a great start.

Answer the call. Believe in Him right now. Then, He has many more gifts to give you.

  • Let me be clear. Life won’t get easier when you’re saved by Jesus Christ. It gets tougher.
  • But there are far better days to come. We look forward to all of those days. This life is tough.
  • But, no more worries about going to hell. No more worries about death who is a great enemy.

[28] Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

  • Right now, from within. Tell God you’re answering His call.
  • Tell Him you fully believe and trust in His Son Jesus Christ. He has many gifts to give you.
  • Now, instead of sitting there waiting around for others to watch you live your life, it’s time to get up and preach the Gospel.
  • It’s time for people to be saved in this evil and wicked world full of lies and deception.
  • Don’t be fooled. Allow the Scriptures to guide you into the truth.

Let’s pray.

    Good Sermon, Thanks Preacher Josh.

    Hope you are doing well out there. I thought this interesting, I want to get Baptised and started looking for a place and prayed about it. What I realize is; The Covaids fraud is part of a great delusion. I wouldn’t let anyone with the shots Baptise me. I might just try to find a believer to do it bc basically all of the pastors round here are fully deceived and even promoting the vacks, propagating the lies.

    I am sure you remember we discuss my ma. She moved and didnt give me her address, mostly her husband doesn’t want me to know what’s going on I guess. Well you live in this world with internet, how long does it take to find an address if you have names and addresses? So I sent her and my father (living seperately- he took like 4 shots and is on his deathbed) both a nice leatherbound KJV. My dad didnt read anything I think and I asked her if she had received it and she just doesn’t answer. I tell ya I just don’t understand.

    Funny thing, I left the RC church and distanced myself from almost anyone that was preaching Jesus long ago. Now these past few years I come back to it on my own with just a KJV and lookin for sermons online. And regardless I was unrighteous, even insane, I can say without any blustering, I must have understood what is being said in the Bible better than most of the groups I had left. Because it is an Olsteen Circus most of it. I can say confidently that the once you are seeking the Holy Spirit the most crucial thing is that you can call fraud fraud no matter who is perpetrating it… even oneself.

      Hello Brendan, I was thinking about you yesterday and praying for you. I am sorry I have been a little busy lately. Finishing up the outside of the home we just built and spending much of my extra time on that. Trying to finish before it starts to freeze here. Going to sow grass seed later today. Hope you are doing well besides the family situation. I hope you are able to find a decent pastor/church to be baptized in close to you. Not sure how it is there but there are church everywhere around here and it is difficult to know which are preaching the Gospel correctly. For example, just a 5 mile stretch on one road through downtown of a small city (Shelbyville, KY) has 50 churches (just a guess) on the main road. No joke. They are everywhere around here. And you’ll only find one or two that actually preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So, yes, it’s difficult all over this world to find a good church. I hope your dad and mom will read the Bible you sent them. All you can do is keep trying. Thanks for reading or listening to the sermons, and I will continue to pray for you and hope you’ll find a good place to be baptized. Please keep in touch often.

    I do have a question about something you wrote about in a previous sermon compared to this one. In this sermon, you stated that if you have not witnessed to someone you are not saved. In your sermon on how to get to heaven, it states that we are not saved by putting our trust 💯 inJesus Christ not our works. Is this contradicting or am I missing something?

      I meant we ARE saved by putting our trust in Jesus

      1. Joshua Tapp Avatar

        Yes, 100% for sure. We are only saved by putting our trust in Jesus Christ. No works (giving someone the Gospel) can save you. After being saved, giving the Gospel to someone would be a good work that would lead to rewards in heaven.

      Jodie, we are not saved by witnessing to someone. I am saying you can’t witness to someone if you don’t know the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If you don’t know the Gospel of Jesus Christ, you can’t believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are only saved by believing in Jesus Christ, trusting in Jesus Christ, or faith in Jesus Christ. They all mean the same thing. Once we are saved, we should give the Gospel. We don’t have to give the Gospel to be saved. I hope that clears this up some. We are definitely not saved by giving the Gospel.

        Okay, yes! Thank you! I do believe I have shared the gospel to the best of my ability to some but I am no means where you are at! Thank you! You have no idea how much your sermons have reached me and completely touched my heart! Keep doing God’s work! You are reaching people!
