Sermons on Hate Evil:

Why The Jews? Pt. 1

Contributed by Dave Kinney on Dec 3, 2004

Why are God’s people the most hated and persecuted of all peoples? God has blessed Israel and has certain promises for them! God will bless the nations that bless Israel!

Psalm 83:1-4 From this verse we can glean several facts about Israel and the Jews that make up this nation: · God has always heard Israel’s plea as a people. Vs.1 · God has always helped Israel persevere as a people. Vs. 2-3 · God has always heralded Israel’s place as a nation. Vs. 4 As we ...read more

The Sins Of Mankind Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 8, 2024

When God gives up on humanity, it is left to itself. When man is left to himself, only evil follows.

1:29 “…being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness…” It seems to me that these are not the first in the list, but a title over the list. “Sexual immorality” is not in more modern versions, following different Greek texts. But he does mention it in his lists in 1 ...read more

Man’s Privilege And Duty In The Garden. Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 9, 2018

Man was made outside of the garden; because it says here that after God had formed him, he “put him into the garden:” he was made from the common dust that accumulated upon the ground, not of paradise-dust.

July 5, 2013 Commentary on the Book of Genesis By: Tom Lowe Lesson I.B.2: Man’s Privilege and Duty in the Garden. Gen. 2.15-17.

You Are Blessed! Series

Contributed by Jim Luthy on Jan 23, 2002

On a level other than the one we can see, at a supernatural level, in the realm where good and evil do battle and evil always loses, God has blessed us. He wants us to live according to that blessing.

You Are Blessed Ephesians 1:3-14 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ." – Ephesians 1:3 Poor Little Orphan Annie!

"The Subtle Sin Of Codependency"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jul 31, 2008

We might assume that Eve wanted to know evil, however, was that her primary motive? It is my opinion that Eve wanted to become “God” so that she could be good, not necessarily so that she could be evil! And that is a subtle thought!

My personal definition of co-dependency for your consideration: When a person focuses on someone besides God, in an attempt to become the god of a person who is in distress, until the person they are trying to help, ultimately becomes their god. Our Church has begun a “Celebration Recovery” ...read more

Jehovah-Gmolah

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 2, 2017

To recompense means “to repay or to reward or to compensate.” The word Gmolah means to give payback. This name indicates that God will repay evil for evil and good for good. This name shows that God by His very nature is a God who repays.

Unleashing The Power Of Your Story SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 9, 2023

Often as followers of faith, we overlook that our personal story of belief is one of the most potent tools against evil. Your story of faith poses a threat to evil, so it's crucial to voice it out and share it with others.

As believers, we often overlook the fact that one of our greatest weapons against the forces of evil is our personal testimony. Your testimony makes you a threat to the enemy, so it's crucial to open your mouth and share it. In this passage, Joshua selected twelve men from the twelve tribes of ...read more

You Shall Not Murder Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021

The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more

Nothing You Can Do To Make God Love You More Or Less

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 25, 2024

Recently I have been hearing quite a few pastors using a quote from Henri Nouwen a Dutch Catholic priest that states, “There is nothing we can do to make God love us more and nothing we can do to make God love us less.” Is that true? Let's see what God's Word has to say about it.

Do you have a Bible? I was once told that in a simple Bible with no maps, no apocrypha and no commentary you would find the Psalms in the center of the Bible. So, I thought maybe it would be Psalm 119 since it has 174 verses and is the longest chapter in the Bible. However, in my Bible it turns out ...read more
