Which sermons by david jeremiah have prompted the most theological criticism?
Executive summary
Available sources from this search do not identify or list any David Jeremiah sermons that have "prompted the most theological criticism"; the material retrieved is mainly sermon listings, program archives, and promotional pages for Turning Point and Shadow Mountain Church [1] [2] [3]. Reporting in the available set focuses on regular programming, holiday series, and devotional material rather than controversies or critical responses [4] [5].
1. What the available record shows: program archives and sermon themes
Public-facing pages in the search results are archives and program pages for Turning Point and Shadow Mountain Community Church that catalogue sermons, daily devotionals and television/radio programming by Dr. David Jeremiah. These pages promote Christmas series, daily devotionals, and sermon archives such as “Why the Nativity?” and regular Turning Point broadcasts; they do not present or summarize theological critiques of specific messages [1] [2] [6].
2. What critics or controversies would look like — not found here
A question asking which of Jeremiah’s sermons drew the most theological criticism presumes public pushback or sustained debate. The search results include no news articles, opinion pieces, denominational responses, or academic critiques documenting such controversies; they are primarily sermon listings and promotional pages [5] [7]. Therefore, available sources do not mention any specific sermons that have generated notable theological criticism.
3. Typical content in the documented sermons — why critics might engage (hypothetical)
The archived and promoted sermons focus on core evangelical themes — salvation, the narrow way to heaven, prophecy, and Christmas messaging such as “How to be absolutely certain you are going to heaven” and “Why There Must Be Christmas” — topics that can generate theological debate in broader Christian discourse [8] [3]. However, the specific reporting retrieved does not contain critical responses or examples of disagreement over Jeremiah’s exegesis or theological emphases [8] [4].
4. Where to look for documented criticism (research roadmap)
To identify sermons that have provoked theological criticism, one must consult sources beyond the ministry’s own archives: independent news outlets, theological journals, denominational statements, podcast debates, academic critiques, and social-media threads. The current search results do not include such independent or critical sources; they only present Turning Point archives, Shadow Mountain sermon listings, and third-party sermon hosts [1] [3] [9].
5. Alternative viewpoints and the limits of these sources
The available material overwhelmingly reflects Dr. Jeremiah’s own ministry viewpoint and promotional framing; that creates an implicit agenda of outreach and encouragement [1] [2]. Because independent critical perspectives are absent from the retrieved set, any assertion that particular sermons “prompted the most theological criticism” cannot be supported from these sources. Stating otherwise would violate the evidentiary limits of the dataset [1] [2].
6. Bottom line for your original question
Available sources do not report on theological controversies tied to specific David Jeremiah sermons, and therefore do not identify which sermons, if any, have prompted the most theological criticism in public discourse [1] [8]. To answer your question definitively, you will need independent reporting, academic or denominational critiques, or documented debates — none of which appear in the current search results [5] [7].
