    Symptoms Of A Society's Sinfulness Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 2, 2008
    based on 32 ratings
     | 18,521 views

    Sin separates from God, be it the sin of a person or of a nation. God demands righteousness on the part of the people with whom He enters into covenant relationship. The fault of rejection is not the Lord’s but His peoples’ choice of the ways of sin.

    ISAIAH 59: 1-8 SYMPTOMS OF A SOCIETY’S SINFULNESS [Romans 3:4-18] There are always reasons if God’s promises are not being fulfilled. It is not because God cannot fulfill His Word or does not want to fulfill His Word. Here God states He is not fulfilling His promises and delivering His people ...read more

    Buffeted But Blessed

     | 18,132 views

    Life sometimes seems to be giving us a good beating. But God’s purpose in permitting trials and troubles in our lives is not to beat and burden us, but rather to build and bless our Christian life.

    Buffeted But Blessed Text: 2 Cor.12: 9, 10 Intro: Most of us would think the ideas of buffeting and blessing are totally foreign to one another. It’s difficult to wrap our limited insight around the biblical idea that the former could actually produce the latter. As a matter of fact, the ...read more

    As we read the text of this sermon, we see a poor, diseased woman who with a grain of hope pushes her way through the crowd to be healed, but receives so much more once she touches the Master.

    Being in the world can feel like an alien experience. Do we hide under sheets and hope not be detected? Do we marshal our forces in order to "not be part of the world"? Or does Jesus mean more when he says, "Be in the world, but not of it."
