The Sins Of Omission And The Sins Of Commission…which Are The Worse?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 19, 2022

In the title of this sermon I asked a question: Which sin is worse, the SINS of COMMISSION or the SINS of OMISSION?

Before I get through with this sermon I think you will be able to answer that question. Many are not aware the Bible talks about two kinds of sins. (1) THE SINS OF COMMISSION. Illus: Can you remember as a child you did something bad and your dad or mom said, “Wait till I get you home!!!” And ...read more

The Issue Of Unforgiveness And Bitterness

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 2, 2022

Bitterness is a weed whose root is unforgiveness. Whether it's from a bitter breakup, divorce, rejection, abandonment, or whatever, if we refuse to forgive in those situations, bitterness takes hold of our lives. And where there is bitterness, there can be no love and no peace.

One of the secret sins believers can be easily guilty of is being unwilling to forgive which leads to bitterness. Even though it is often assumed to be more acceptable, unforgiveness is no less an offense to God than any other sin. It is the failure to deal with forgiveness that produces ...read more

God Still Speaks

Contributed by Patty Groot on Aug 18, 2025

This sermon on Jeremiah 23:23–29 reminds us that God is near and present, warns against false voices, and shows how His Word refines and transforms like fire and a hammer.

I want to start today with a question. It’s simple, but it cuts to the heart: “Is God still speaking? And if so, are we listening?” In Jeremiah 23, the people of Israel were surrounded by noise. Competing voices. Smooth-talking prophets. Religious leaders claiming to speak for God but whose words ...read more

God Of Proofs And Testimonies PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 28, 2025

God uses our small offerings, given in faith and compassion, to meet the needs of others and multiply blessings beyond what we imagine.

Some of us walked in today with a smile that took a lot of effort. Bills stare back, bodies ache, and a stack of needs feels taller than our energy.

Some mornings feel like a fog has rolled in and parked on the path right in front of you. You can see your feet, maybe the next step, yet the road ahead stays hidden.

Despite evil’s noise and deception, Christ’s victory and justice are certain, so believers can live with hope, courage, and confidence in God’s ultimate reign.

Some of us walked in today with the week still clinging to our shoulders. Headlines that hurt. News that nags. A heart that wonders, Will evil always get the microphone?

Wonderfully Made PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Nov 4, 2025

You are intentionally created by God, uniquely valued, and your life has purpose and dignity that reflect His love and glory.

Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache behind the smile. You know the one—the ache that wonders, Do I matter? Does my life count? Have I been seen, heard, known? We carry comparisons like heavy coats in summer. We replay old comments, old failures, old fears, and they whisper their worn-out ...read more
