Forgiveness Of Sin Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

We do not understand God, or the Gospel, until we grasp the significance of forgiveness of sin. God's plan cannot be fulfilled without it, and we cannot be saved without it, nor can we live the Christian life without it.

Sins And Mistakes Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Sins Of Omission Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

The basic definition of sin is missing the mark. It is missing the opportunity to do good, and choosing instead to do evil, or to do nothing at all. And the nothing at all is often overlooked as being a part of the whole problem of sin.

We are tempted to do evil, but seldom think of the reality that we are also tempted to not do good. It is possible to be doing nothing wrong, and still be living in sin, because of what we are not doing. This is the surprising truth that James hits us with in 4:17 where he says, "Anyone, ...read more

Scripture: James 4:17

Sinful Sympathy Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Chapter 4 shows us three approaches that Eliphaz took to Job, which he apparently thought would be helpful, but which are contrary to the true spirit of sympathy, and thus, must be classified as sinful sympathy, for they do more harm than good.

Confession Of Sin Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

All sin is sin against God. If we sin against people it is only sin because we violate a law of God. All confession, therefore, is legitimate before God, but not all sin should be confessed before men. Confession is to go as far as the sin.

Charles Francis Berry, a major league umpire, was once asked if he ever made mistakes in calling balls and strikes. He looked at the person as if he were joking, and said, "Of course I may mistakes. My only trouble is I can't admit it." The tragedy is that the inability to admit ...read more

The Man Of Sin Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

The church is restraining the power of Satan by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is why the church is the light and salt of the world. As long as the church does its task, the man of sin cannot take over.

A six year old boy and his father once traveled down the Danube River, and at the close of one day they stopped at a cloister. The father took the boy into the chapel to see the organ.

Sin Kills

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 20, 2021

Temptation is common to all human beings. It is a result of the desires that lingers in our hearts. It draws us away from God's principles and fall into sin. This leads to spiritual death as we become separated from God.

TEXT: James 1:14-15 NLT "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions.
