Jesus Corrects His Disciples Over Divisiveness
This sermon by Pastor Kim continues a study on discipleship, focusing on the warning against being divisive, which is presented as a form of pride. Drawing from Luke 9:49-50, Pastor Kim highlights how the Apostle John and the other disciples exhibited a "wrong kind of spirit" by forbidding a man who was casting out demons in Jesus's name simply because he was outside of their immediate group.
Pastor Kim emphasizes that the focus of a true disciple must be exclusively on following the Lord Jesus, not on one's own status or group's.

金牧师(Pastor Anthony Kim)带来了一场关于门徒训练的有力查经,重点关注作为骄傲形式的分
裂的危险。他以路加福音 9:49-50为基础,审视了使徒约翰和门徒对一位圈外人士奉耶稣的名行
善的反应,并强调了耶稣及时、却又温柔的纠正。讲道将这个古老的问题与现代的“群体思维”(
group think)以及人造传统(宗派/异端)的危险联系起来,将那些真正跟从基督话语的信徒与那些
灵性上盲目、只跟从自己的人作了对比。这篇信息呼吁人们关键性地否定自我、遵循耶稣的诫命、
引导他人归向基督,并警告了以自我为中心的灵性盲目所导致的永恒后果
