     | 4,004 views

    God desires our sadness and soberness to enter into a relationship with Him, then we get angry at our our sin, just as He is angry against sin, and after cleansing ourselves, we can then become authentically happy in Him.

    We Have A Scapegoat

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Feb 8, 2014
     | 6,736 views

    In the OT the blood of sacrificed animals was shed to take away the sins of the people and this had to be done annually, but when Jesus went to the cross on our behalf in obedience to the Father's will, our sins were taken away once and for all.

    Leviticus 16:1-22 Our Scapegoat Do you remember, when David Cameron, Nick Clegg and the Coalition took over from Gordon Brown and Ed Balls after the last election, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer found a note from the outgoing one saying 'There is no money, it has all gone!'

    How To Protect Yourself From Stumbling

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Feb 10, 2014
     | 5,888 views

    A small sin can be the cause of a Christian's stumbling block if not dealt with properly. It is like a cancer that grows and destroys our soul in hell. We will learn three ways to protect ourselves from the spread of sin and live a life of holiness.

    Matthew 5:29-30 (NIV) 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you ...read more

    Noah- The Ungiver

    Contributed by Jerry Owen on May 25, 2018
     | 6,940 views

    Believers are immersed in a world of sin and temptation. Noah experienced a world such as this or even worse. Our duty as believers in God is to never give in to sin, never give up our hope in Christ, and to never give out in doing good.

    Noah: The Ungiver Genesis 6:5-9 Read Gen 6:5-7 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 The Lord ...read more

     | 4,424 views

    I frequently hear someone say, "Life is changing too fast and it is getting worse." I must agree with them because I believe it is due to the rapid increase of both sensual sins and social sins.

    The Four "Ifs” 1 John 1 V 7-10 - God’s Forgiveness Is Cleansing And Peace Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,694 views

    When a Christian sins, there is usually a barb of conviction that enters the soul, an awareness of guilt that clouds the person’s spirit and life. A Christian is a new creation with a new awareness and new values. This precious passage deals with confession of sin and restoration.

    THE FOUR “IFs” 1 JOHN 1 v 7-10 - GOD’S FORGIVENESS IS CLEANSING AND PEACE A MESSAGE FROM THE FIRST LETTER OF THE APOSTLE JOHN 1John 1 v 7 but IF we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. ...read more

    The Ultimate Scapegoat

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,630 views

    What was the Scapegoat, and can it's function somehow be applied to Jesus? Christ made a one-time sacrifice and atonement to cover all sins. There is no more need for a scapegoat, as the Lamb of God became the final sin offering.

    I want to begin our sermon this morning by asking if you’ve ever before heard the word “scapegoat.” This term was coined by William Tyndale, the first great English Bible translator, who I will discuss a little further later on in our message. After Tyndale, the word came to be used for a person, ...read more

    The Watchman?

     | 3,090 views

    What happens to the watchmen that God tells to inform people of their sin. What happens today when we see people committing sin. Should we call them out? If we don't will we die?

    Sermon Title: The watchman Scripture Text: Ezekiel 33:7-11 ILLUSTRATION: Nit-picking — it seems to be almost a national sport the way some folks participate in it so frequently and enthusiastically.

    Measure Upon Measure – Separation – The Restoration Of God - Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 22, 2025
     | 252 views

    In this continuing study of the Restoration of God, we look at what sin ruined, the results of that; how the Lord identified with those results, and now what God has restored. This time our theme is SEPARATION. Sin caused separation.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – SEPARATION – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 3 CHAPTER 2 - THE SECOND CONSEQUENCE In the previous two messages we studied the first consequence to come from the disobedience of Adam and Eve. That was GUILT and associated SHAME. In the Garden of Eden SERENITY was RUINED ...read more

    The world believes that if they can be free of God, they’ll be free to do as they wish? But the Bible teaches us that everyone is a slave to something, but does that really make sense?
