The Sermon That Will Empty Most Churches | Paul Washer

There is a sermon that no modern pastor will preach. A sermon so dangerous to the religious industry of America that the man who delivers it must be willing to lose his platform, lose his salary, lose his friends, and lose every form of cultural acceptance he has ever known. A sermon that, if preached with full force in any megachurch in this nation, would empty half the building before the closing prayer. It is not a sermon about politics. It is not a sermon about social issues. It is not a sermon about end-times speculation or denominational distinctives. It is a sermon about salvation. A sermon that confronts the most dangerous assumption ever made in the history of American Christianity — the assumption that the man who prayed a prayer, walked an aisle, signed a card, or attended a youth retreat is automatically a member of the kingdom of heaven. In this powerful message inspired by the prophetic fire of Paul Washer — the preacher whose voice has called more young people to genuine self-examination than perhaps any other minister of our era — the sermon that empties churches is preached without compromise. By the end of this hour, you will know whether the Christ you have followed is the Christ of the Bible — or whether you have been clinging to a counterfeit gospel that has the power to comfort but no power to save. If you are easily offended, this is your warning. Click away now. But if you have the courage of a believer who would rather face the hard truth in this life than be destroyed by an easy lie in the next — then stay. Listen. Examine. And let the searching light of Scripture do its work. "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves." — 2 Corinthians 13:5 🔥 READY TO EXAMINE YOUR SOUL? 🔥 If this message stripped away every false assurance you have built around your salvation, do not silence the conviction. ⚔️ THE WAR ROOM MANUAL: 30 DAYS OF SPIRITUAL STRATEGY ⚔️ 👉 https://hotm.io/thewarroom ⚠️ WARNING: This is NOT a devotional.
