Sermons on Mistakes:

The Suffering Saint

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

Make no mistake about it, SAINTS and SINNERS in this life suffer. Some who promote “Easy-Believism” in order to win converts to the Lord, paint a picture of the Christian life as a fairy tale.

You accept the Lord and live happily ever after. But that is not true. SAINTS, like the SINNERS in this life have their share of suffering. • We may not suffer for the same reasons they suffer, but we suffer • Many times for the SAINTS and the SINNERS, the sufferings come from bad decisions they ...read more

A Tale Of Two Fathers

King Herod's Pitiful Plight

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on May 15, 2004

The Bonds Of Legalism Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on May 4, 2009

Instead of doing a full exposition of the passage, we’re going to focus on one aspect of it. We’re going to focus on the bonds of legalism. And make no mistake about it, legalism is bondage.

A Greater Freedom

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Jul 2, 2007

Some feel that they have "crossed the point of no return" in regards to habitual sin, mistakes, and blunders in life. Be set free by finding out how merciful and forgiving God really is toward your faults.

I CAN’T IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE STILL CARRY WITHIN THEM THE BURDEN OF PAST MISTAKES, HEAVINESS OF HEART OVER BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS AND ...read more

We Are Soldiers For Christ

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 28, 2005

Make no mistake - we are soldiers for Christ. As soldiers, we have a duty to do what He has told us to do: Love & pray for our enemies - including those of the Islamic faith.

It is fitting that we start this sermon by coming to an understanding of just who we are. Put in its simplest terms, we are soldiers of Jesus Christ. No Christian should ever doubt that. And, as soldiers, we must have certain knowledge and perform certain duties. 2 TIMOTHY 2:3 states, ‘Endure ...read more

The Broken Compass Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 29, 2013

When we think about ourselves and our mistakes, we often think that God either doesn't love us, or that we disappoint Him regularly. The problem is our compass is broken.

Two of the three psalms we’re going to go through this morning were written by David. Psalm 101 sets forth the principals wherewith David will run his administration and the city of Jerusalem. Psalm 102 is a cry from someone captured and taken to Babylon, asking the Lord to restore what has ...read more
