“The Propaganda of a Counterfeit Christ”
Revelation 13:11 – 18
Take-Home Truth: Satan through the beast tries to imitate Christ. But those who have been accepted by the true King do not seek acceptance by a deceived culture.
Christ-Connection: Christ alone is worthy of our worship, trust and pursuit.
Hook: (Ice-breaker question. Get the group talking!)
- What are some examples of imitations? Are they ever as good as the real thing?
- Engage: (Observe the passage and engage with the text)
Richard gave us a basis for viewing the book of Revelation. What are the ways that he described that Satan attempts to imitate the Trinity?
- How does Satan fall short?
Reflect: (Reflect upon the key take-aways from the sermon)
- Throughout history we have examples of leaders and culture trying to force the population to worship images, people, and ideas. Richard mentioned Nebuchadnezzar, what are some other examples?
- Every generation has had its antichrists claiming to save them. What are some that we are seeing currently?
Respond: (Apply the truths of God’s Word to your heart, affections, and actions)
- Richard said “Whatever we depend on most is our functional savior.” What are some functional saviors in our lives?
- Hitler had Goebbels as his Minister of Propaganda. In what ways are we seeing propaganda in our current culture and how should we respond and remain focused on Christ?
- How can we show love to people caught up in cultural propaganda without celebrating their sin?
