Preach Jesus!
In today's Red Church broadcast, Joseph Z and Jeremy Pearson teach about the prosperity gospel. Joseph instructs that there isn’t anything about the prosperity gospel, but only one gospel. Jeremy agrees with this, revealing that it’s a term coined by those critical of the message, and if we’re to overlook the prosperity message, we’ll be ignoring a lot of Scripture. He clarifies that if there’s no prosperity in the gospel, it will not be good news to the poor because Jesus said, “The spirit of the Lord is upon me because He has anointed me to preach the good news to the poor”. He explains that when we preach Jesus, we receive everything that Jesus represents.

Also, Jeremy encourages us to serve our generation with the Word, teach them how to live by faith, and experience a whole life of prosperity. He makes us understand that prosperity is not just money but covers peace, wisdom, and every good thing God has bestowed on us. Moreover, having the truth in us shows that our soul is prospering, and prosperity is also learning to value what God values. Interestingly, he leads us to the book of 1 Timothy 6:6, which teaches that contentment is the key to our prosperity; it’s also learning to be thankful at every point.
Once more, he clarifies that contentment is not the same as settling. It is being grateful for where we are while staying committed to where we’re going. Again, he interprets the verse that says, “The love of money is the root of all evil”. Explaining that this means having the thought of money all the time to the point of it taking the place of God is what is evil. He further leads us to the Book of 2 Timothy 3:1 to explain why perilous times will befall the earth. He reveals that perilous times will come because men will be lovers of themselves, money, unholy, slandering lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
