Is Joel Osteen preaching the true gospel, or does he just do a riff on a 5th-century heresy? Let's try and uncover the theology that powers Joel Osteen and his Lakewood Church. While the prosperity gospel "lite" of Joel Osteen is all too often treated with ambivalence, people need to know that its roots go all the way back to an ancient British monk named Pelagius. There is a real connection between 5th-century Pelagianism, which is the belief that humans can bootstrap their way to righteousness, unaffected by original sin, and the modern "Name It and Claim It" movement. It's also embedded in the "soft serve" prosperity preaching of Joel Osteen. If Pelagius argued that you have the power to be righteous before God, Joel Osteen is here arguing that your thoughts can literally tie or untie the hands of God. It’s the ultimate "God helps those who help themselves" theology.

Here we go again... Did Andrew Wommack's son actually come back from the dead after 4 hours on a cold, metal tray in a hospital morgue? Or is this multi-million-dollar prosperity empire built on fantastical fibs? Andrew Wommack’s re-tells the story once again in his April 2026 sermon at Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena CA. He makes claims of global dead-risings along with labeling petitionary prayers as "chicken's prayers." Andrew also claims that believers possess an identical spiritual nature as the Lord Jesus and can do everything that he did. In addition, Andrew shows himself to be a blatant "bible bender" as he wrongly interprets Mark chapter 11 and the story of Jesus cursing the fig tree.

Can a sermon mention the name of Jesus multiple times, use a pristine 1985 Jeep Grand Wagoneer as a stage prop, and still completely miss the gospel? Yep, in fact, it's inevitable. Let's pop the hood on this one car sermon pile up on the I-75, driven by David Sumrall of ITOWN Church in Fishers, Indiana.

What happens when modern day "apostles" treat the Holy Spirit like Siri or Alexa? The New Apostolic Reformation—or what we’re calling the Noxious Apostate Ruse (NAR) does just that and more. Let's look into a recent sermon from Guillermo Maldonado and Paula White Cain at King Jesus Miami to analyze their dangerous ego driving modern "activation" theology, toxic "honor culture," and wild claims of human leaders physically glowing with divine light. #NAR #GuillermoMaldonado #BezelT3 #TheologyMatters #ReformedTheology #ExposingNAR #ChurchDiscernment

Is Michael Todd preaching the Gospel or a Broadway show tune? In this review, we are looking at Michael Todd's 2026 Easter sermon, "Clock It: Darkness Has a Deadline." See how the "Banana Man" trades Christ-centered exposition for "Annie"-style secular optimism and Urban Dictionary definitions. We will try and distinguish between the "sun will come out tomorrow" theology of Little Orphan Annie and the finished work of the resurrected King Jesus.

Is the Bible a mirror that reflects a better you, or a window in which to find Christ Jesus in type and shadow? Todd Crews’ sermon on Joshua 6 at Liquid Church in New Jersey prefers the mirror. From LED immersion technology to "Tetris" theology, let's look at how seeker-sensitive preaching often trades the cosmic victory of Jesus over sin, death and the grave for the shallow promises of personal breakthroughs. It’s time to move past the mirror of "eisegesis" and be willing to open the window of redemptive historical preaching. Because big screen or not, the fall of Jericho isn't about you - it’s about the King.

What’s Missing from Joyce Meyer’s Lakewood Sermon? What's missing is Christ! Let's look behind the curtain of Joyce Meyer’s 2026 Lakewood Church sermon to expose a growing trend in modern ministry: Christ-less Christianity. While the presentation is polished, the message has shifted from the central gospel of biblical repentance to a brand of self-help that treats faith as a force rather than a saving reliance on God. Is this not a biblical message but rather a motivational pep talk in an arena. This is what is being passed off as preaching at Lakewood Church in Houston TX. #JoyceMeyer #LakewoodChurch #SermonReview #Christianity #Theology #SelfHelp #Gospel #BezelT3 #MediaAnalysis #2026Sermon

After 16 years, it’s clear that Patricia King's "prophetic" visions are all sounding the same. From the 2009 "Power Eagles" to the 2025 "Rivers of Glory," Patricia King is running the same prophetic, worn out motor with no oil left in the pan. She's got nothing but a smattering of swirly digital stars in the background to prop her up. This review will look at her "potty mouth" theology and why these "instant turnarounds" always seem to depend on your performance rather than the finished work of Christ. It’s time to ground the NAR "swirly talk" and return to the only "river" that actually saves—the one that flowed from the Savior's side on a Roman cross. Stop trying to engineer a miracle and rest in the Sovereign King who has already finished the work.

Here we have an unusual meet up of two multi-million dollar empires. Joel Osteen joins Logan Paul and Mike Majlak on the Impaulsive podcast that provided the ultimate case study in what Michael Horton calls "Christ-less Christianity." While the hosts coddled the "World’s Biggest Preacher" with softball questions about salvation, heaven and hell and his celebrity, Osteen reciprocated by offering a Gospel so light it could float away on a Prime energy drink's carbonation. This wasn’t a mission field; it was a marketing and PR junket where the bodily resurrection of Jesus was traded in for the shallowness of "new beginnings." From the 14 recycled rules/keys of self-actualization to a final mini message that managed to avoid the cross entirely, witness the biblical implosion of a theology that promises you your "Best Life Now" while leaving your soul in a state of spiritual bankruptcy.

Today we’re looking at the high-octane theatrical tripe of Steve Munsey’s 2026 Easter/Passover extravaganza. If you’ve ever wondered if the resurrection of Jesus Christ could be turned into a marketing campaign for longer-lasting washing machines and a "double portion" of financial favor, wonder no more. We examine the "illustrated sermon" style of Family Christian Center, where the gospel is treated like a Coke machine that only accepts "seed" tokens, and the cross is just a prop for modern-day indulgences. We will contrast this transactional prosperity pipe dream with the objective historical victory of the Risen Christ, proving once and for all that God’s sovereign grace doesn’t require an open wallet or the tap of a Visa card.

Welcome to Church by the Glades, where Palm Sunday does not exist. Where their Easter extravaganza is so "rockin" great that they preformed it a week early. Where the bodily resurrection of Christ Jesus is just a "coming attraction" for an upcoming "At the Movies" series. Today, we’re taking a look at a prime example of the Disney-fication of the church. Come with me and see what happens when a rock concert replaces the Gospel, and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" leads to a spiritual dead end.

Stop trying to get "Locked In" until you understand exactly where this flight path is taking you. Keion Henderson’s recent sermon might sound like high-performance inspiration, but under the hood, it’s a theological stall waiting to happen. As a mechanic and pilot, I can tell you that having "three greens" on your landing gear doesn't matter if you're navigating toward the wrong destination. In this debrief, we’re recovering the black box to see if his "Algorithm of Favor" actually holds air. We’re running a full diagnostic on a message that trades the Theology of the Cross for a high-gloss Theology of Glory.

James Talarico, is he a progressive preacher or politician, or both? In this video, we examine the narcegesis behind his 2025 "Divine Loser" Easter sermon and his heretical portrait of Jesus as a "boy scout" activist. The Threefold Office of Christ—Prophet, Priest, and King is out and a secular activist nice guy model is in. Talarico has embraced a form of moralistic,therapeutic deism (MTD) that replaces penal substitutionary atonement with DEI and democratic social services.

Two churches, ten miles apart on Austin’s I-35 corridor, but worlds away in the gospel they preach. In this video, I compare two very different sermons of Genesis 4. One treats the account of Cain and Abel as a myth used to push political resistance and a new age, "do-it-yourself" redemption. The other submits to the text as the "Living Word of God," grounding our only hope in the blood of Christ that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. Is the gospel about "calibrating your heart" for social justice, or is it about the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ? Watch as we examine the great theological divide in the heart of Texas.

Jesse Duplantis takes his $21 million Falcon 7X on a global tour to peddle his latest theme: the "Faith Voice". We’re breaking down his "Popcorn Gospel" and exposing how this "revelation" is really just a theological hijacking of Romans 4:17. From identifying as the divine "I Am" to promising a mathematical miracle that would crash the global jet market, we're putting this prosperity math to the test. Is it a move of God, or just a multi-million dollar "replenishment" scam for Jesse's personal ministry/lifestyle?
