The Temptation To Be Perfect Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000

To be perfect as God is perfect, paradoxically, requires us to understand our own weaknesses and failures the way God does, and to love ourselves, despite those weaknesses and failures, the way God does.

It may sound like a contradiction in terms to have a sermon on the temptation to be perfect. After all aren’t temptations about being imperfect. Doesn’t God want us to be perfect just as he’s perfect? But you know, there is such a thing as the temptation to be perfect. All of us are subject to it ...read more

God's Sovereignty: Is He Really In Control?

Contributed by Michael Mays on Jul 3, 2021

What does it mean when we say “God is in control?” 
Are we aware of the implications, or is it just a platitude? 
And when it comes to the most important question of salvation, do we think God truly is sovereign, or is He held hostage by our choices?

Romans 8:28–39 (ESV) 28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many ...read more
