The final message in this series addresses the harmful effects of a critical spirit toward spiritual leaders. The Bible teaches us to respect and support God’s anointed leaders, as constant criticism breeds division and discouragement. Using stories like Miriam’s criticism of Moses, the sermon encourages believers to build up rather than tear down their leaders.

Key Scripture:

1 Chronicles 16:22 (NIV) – "Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm."

Reflection Questions:

1. Have you been overly critical of a spiritual leader? What steps can you take to repent and support them instead?
2. How can you build up church leaders through prayer and encouragement?

This sermon addresses the danger of prioritizing wealth over spiritual growth. The false gospel of prosperity, which equates wealth with God’s favor, leads believers astray. Biblical stories like the rich young ruler show how the love of money can distract us from following Christ. True prosperity is found in spiritual riches, not material wealth.

Key Scripture:

1 Timothy 6:9-10 (NIV) – "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil."

Reflection Questions:

1. Have you been tempted to prioritize wealth over your relationship with God?
2. How can you cultivate contentment in Christ, regardless of your financial situation?
