Don’t Crucify the Message Because of the Messenger | Matthew 18:6** In this powerful message, Pastor Kevin Handy challenges believers to stay anchored in the truth of God’s Word—even when the messenger is imperfect. Too often people reject the message of Christ because they have been hurt, disappointed, or misled by those who claimed to represent Him. But the failures of people should never cause us to abandon the truth of God. Drawing from **Matthew 18:6**, this sermon reminds us that the gospel is holy and life-changing, and God takes seriously the responsibility of those who influence others in the faith. While some may misuse the platform of ministry or preach with wrong motives, the message of salvation, repentance, and transformation remains true. This teaching encourages believers to discern the difference between the eternal truth of God and the flawed humanity of those who deliver it. The focus must always remain on Christ, not merely on the vessel He uses. Join us as we explore how to protect our faith, guard our hearts, and stay committed to the truth of the gospel—without allowing the imperfections of people to cause us to miss the voice of God. **Scripture References:** Matthew 18:6 2 Peter 2:3 2 Corinthians 2:17 Philippians 1:15–18 **New Life Begins Church** A place of faith, growth, and transformation. #Sermon #Faith #BibleTeaching #NewLifeBeginsChurch #Matthew18 #ChristianLiving
