    Contributed by Bob Phillips on May 15, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,966 views

    The dangers of looking back on sin usually results in a longing for some of the pleasures of this world.

    Jesus used Lot’s wife as an example of how dangerous it can be to look back and long for the sinful things that God has saved us from. Jesus used two events in history to make the point of how people would ignore the warnings of God’s Ministers, or servants. The days of Noah: The flood ...read more

    Introduction: A man asked Jesus how to get to Heaven. In typical Jewish fashion, Jesus answered the question with a question: “What do you think?” The man suggested, “By keeping the law,” and Jesus said (with a smile), “Fine, do that and you’ll make it!” ...read more

    This sermon covers, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." The main emphasis is on "deliver us from evil." Many Christians boldly and repeatedly boast that, "We are all sinners." So, can God really deliver us from evil (sin) or can't He?

    Please continue standing as we read what is most commonly known as “The Lord’s Prayer” Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV) “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. ...read more

This verse, and one from Habakkuk which states that God cannot bear to look upon evil were used to prove this. ...read more
