The Cycle Of Sin (Judges 8)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 9, 2025

Is there a cycle of sin and repentance? Do we go through cycles? Let's look at Judges 8.

Do we see Israel’s repeated cycle of sin, suffering, sorrow and salvation in Gideon's story? Do we see it in us? Do we still need to repent long after baptism? Let’s look at Judges 8. How did Gideon appease the complaint made by the men of Ephraim? The men of Ephraim said to him, “Why have ...read more

Three Ways We Sin

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on May 28, 2022

I was going door-to-door. I met a woman who said, “I have never sinned.” I knew this wasn’t true. It couldn’t be true; the Bible tells me this is not true.

None does good, no not one. Romans 3:12, Psalm 14:3 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 We are all like sheep; we’ve gone astray: everyone has turned to his own way. Isaiah 53:6 I’m reminded of the story of “The Rich Young Ruler,” recorded in Matthew 19:16-26, Mark ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 26, 2022

Years ago a newspaper reporter asked then Governor of Arkansas, William Jefferson Clinton, who was seeking to get the nomination of the democratic party to be the next candidate for president of the United States,

“Sir, it has been stated that you have had many adulterous relationships, is this true, or not true?” Mr. Clinton, with anger in his voice for being asked such a question, looked that reporter in the eye and said, “If it was true, I would not tell you!” And he walked away from the reporter.

Legalism Is Sin & Slavery

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 30, 2023

What did Paul teach about the law and faith? Let's look at Galatians 2.

Paul was directly taught by the resurrected Jesus, but did not act like a rebel. Instead he cooperated with the Apostles before him.

No One Can Sin Alone!

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Jan 10, 2023

An opportunity to turn back to the God who awaits you.

“Sold as Slaves to Sin” John 1:29 It doesn’t seem like we hear people talk much about sin anymore. I know it can be a downer of a subject, and we don’t want to over-dwell on it, but we certainly don’t want to pretend it doesn’t exist. I know it exists in my heart, in my life. I know I have ...read more

Is It Time To Confess Our Sins?

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 3, 2026

Golden Calf idolatry reveals how cherished sin destroys fellowship, while confession opens the way for God’s mercy, forgiveness, and restoration.

There are moments in Scripture that are so disturbing, so uncomfortable, that we are tempted to read past them quickly. We would rather not linger there. We would prefer safer passages—stories of deliverance, victory, faith rewarded. But the Word of God does not allow us that luxury. There are ...read more

The Sin Offering (Leviticus 4)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Sep 26, 2024

What does the sin offering foreshadow about Jesus? Let's look at Leviticus 4.

What kinds of sin do we all commit that are unintentional? Why is the sacrifice for a priest and the whole congregation’s sins greater than a community leader and an individual common person’s sins? Why are these last two offerings mandatory and not voluntary like the first three? Let’s begin with ...read more

Sin With The Tongue – Part 1

Contributed by Kunnil Wilson on Oct 7, 2024

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell

For many of God's children there is no progress, no forward state, in their spiritual life and in their earthly life, but dryness, weariness, and decay. Thinking about what is the reason, it is not possible to find that reason. But God is in grace to speak on the subject of man's tongue, or ...read more

Putting To Death The Sins Of The Flesh

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024

We have no reason to say that we are caught in sin, because we don’t have to. That’s what it says. We are under no obligation to agree with the sinful nature when it wants to do something bad. Instead, the Spirit makes us free.

We’ve been building a structure, and it’s based around what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We’ve talked about the fact that a Christian walks by faith, trusting in God and following God’s leading even when it seems odd or strange. We’ve talked about how a follower of Jesus seeks and ...read more

Eli's Sin

Contributed by Samuel M on Oct 15, 2024

Eli did not lose his spiritual sight because of his physical age, but because he failed to correct the wrongdoings in the church while being in a position of God's authority.

And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see. 1 Samuel 3:2 Eli’s sin was that being in position of God’s authority, he failed to correct the wrongdoings of his sons and God’s house.

Sins Forgiven, Health Restored

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 16, 2024

This message looks at how Jesus healed a paralytic, and discusses the connection between sin and illness, and forgiveness and healing. God desires for your whole spirit, soul, and body to be healed (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

I would like to begin our message this morning with a true story about a woman’s healing. A pastor named John Wimber says, “A woman in her late forties asked me to pray for her healing. She suffered from chronic stomach disorders and arthritis . . . I asked her if she was feeling hostility, ...read more
