Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n False Prophets- Part 5\n Matthew 7:22-23\n 08\/15\/2025\n\n\n 22 On that day many will say to me, ``Lord, Lord, did\n we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons\n in your name, and do many mighty works in your\n name?''\n 23 And then will I declare to them, ``I never knew\n you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.''\n (ESV)\n\n Jesus taught His disciples: ``Beware of false prophets, who\n come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous\n wolves.'' This week we have been looking at some of the\n teachings of the false prophets.\n\n Either we receive the forgiveness of our sins and life\n everlasting from God by our own works and efforts, or God\n forgives us because of His grace, love, and mercy as found in\n Jesus Christ. If we rely on our own efforts, we are doomed to\n failure. Yet the false prophets focus on works and not on Christ\n Jesus.\n\n Our Lord and Savior said:\n On that day many will say to me, ``Lord, Lord, did we\n not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your\n name, and do many mighty works in your name?'' And\n then will I declare to them, ``I never knew you; depart\n from me, you workers of lawlessness.''\n\n\n Even while standing before the judgment seat of God, the\n false prophets look to their own actions, their own good works.\n Even if their works were done in the name of Jesus, they did not\n know Jesus nor did they understand the Gospel.\n\n What will you hear each Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. at\n Trinity Lutheran Church? Our salvation from sin and death is\n because of God's rich grace and love alone. We are saved, not by\n our works, but through the gift of faith which trusts that His\n death and resurrection paid the price for our sin.\n\n May our Lord grant that you accept the invitation to join us\n to receive the good news of salvation by grace through faith for\n the sake of Christ. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"August 15, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3662"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3662\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3663,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3662\/revisions\/3663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
