The Great Deception | Part 2 | Bible Study with Pastor Ben

Many follow a version of Christ that is used for power, wealth, or control rather than the Christ who gave up power to serve others. This study will help us discern between the false Christ of deception and the true Christ of surrender and truth.

Key Scriptures:

Matthew 7:21-23 – Not everyone who calls Jesus “Lord” truly follows Him.

Mark 13:22 – False christs will come to deceive even believers.

John 18:36 – Jesus' kingdom is not of this world.

2 Thessalonians 2:8 – Christ will destroy deception with His truth.

Topics We Will Cover:

The False Christ – When Jesus is used for power instead of surrender (Matthew 7:16).

The Seduction of Power – Why people accept a Christ that gives them what they want (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

The Two Kingdoms – The world’s system vs. the true kingdom of Christ (Matthew 6:24).

The Collapse – How Christ will expose and destroy all false versions of Him (Philippians 2:10-11).

What You Will Learn:

How to recognize false versions of Christ used for personal or political gain.

How to discern whether your faith is based on self-gain or true surrender.

How Christ’s true kingdom is not built on earthly power but on love and sacrifice.

Why every false system that uses Christ for power will collapse when He returns.

Reflection Questions:

Am I following a Christ that gives me power, or the Christ who calls me to lay it down?

Is my faith shaped by God’s truth or by what I want Christ to be?

If Christ returned today, would I be standing in truth or deception?

This study is a call to discernment—not every Christ is the real Christ. Let’s learn to follow the one who gave His life instead of taking power.
