    Recently my sister was asked an interesting question. The question was "When I am in heaven with God, will I have to mix with murderers and rapists and child molesters just because they asked God to forgive them?"

     | 3,150 views

    Many feel that the hurricane which struck the South was a punishment from God. We must never be quick to judge in these situations. Yet, there are lessons we can learn from storms like Katrina.

    Lessons from Katrina Matthew 16:1-4 Introduction: Many people feel that the devastating hurricane which struck the South was a punishment from God leveling charges against those impacted by the storm.

    Dear God, Please Kick Me...

    Why do we sometimes wait for God to "punish" us if we mess up as Christians? We are not under the law any longer, but under grace. And sometimes it’s hard to remember that.

    “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin ...read more

    Find Atonement In God's Intercessor

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jan 30, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,586 views

    Christ has done what Moses could not do. He has "made atonement" for the sins of God’s people. Jesus took our guilt upon himself. Jesus received the punishment we deserved because of our sins.

    In the Old Testament lesson for this Sunday we heard how Moses served as a sign to God’s people. He symbolized a greater prophet who would appear some time in the future. For forty years Moses filled the role of God’s voice among the Israelites. Remember they had asked for that arrangement after ...read more

    At Ease In Zion Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Dec 9, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,970 views

    Amos 6:1-14 shows us the perversions and punishment of people who profess to belong to God.

    Introduction The title of this sermon is “At Ease in Zion.” It comes from Amos 6:1a, which states, “Woe to those who are at ease in Zion.” Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines “ease” as “the state of being comfortable.” So why would Amos pronounce a “woe” on those who are at ease? The ...read more

    Now, when we sin and disobey God, we need not live in guilt and fear of being punished because even though it was the last thing we deserved, when Christ died on the cross, he died for everything we have done, are doing, and will do. His pierced hand offe

    ***Start off with movie clip*** As humorous as this movie clip is, as it depicts Jesus going around the crowd of people and telling them how they have sinned, it is also really sad. It’s sad because there are a lot of people, some sitting in this very room, that see Jesus and having a ...read more

    A Thousand Years To Sin’s Final Defeat Series

     | 861 views

    The lake of fire, the place of eternal punishment, was never intended for humanity. God created the lake of fire for Satan and his fallen angels as their eternal punishment. However, for those who refuse Christ's salvation it will be their final residence.

    Sign Language

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,042 views

    Each of these incidents is a sign from God reminding us that life is temporary but that God is eternal.

    What’s the first thing you think of when you hear of falling towers and people dying? Right. Nine-eleven. And looking around on the web I found that even though this is the gospel passage for the third Sunday in Lent of Cycle C of the lectionary, by far the most sermons were written on this topic ...read more

    Hosea Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 30, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,437 views

    Punishment for wrongdoing is essential, but according to Hosea, punishment is not to meet the demands of justice but rather to restore the ones who have done the wrong.

    Hosea Hosea's first three children had very unusual names. His family story was a metaphor for God's relationship with Israel. The Book of Hosea is addressed to the people of the northern kingdom — Israel. It contains both a warning concerning future events and the meaning of these ...read more

     | 5,546 views

    Pain ends suffering for Saints at their physical death, but only begins for those who have not obeyed the Gospel and have not FEARED GOD.

    PERFECT JUSTICE and SUFFERING SAINTS: 2 Thess. 1: 1-12 Listen to this statement: Christianity is NOT a self-help religion. It is NOT a self-improvement course on improving your own self-righteousness. The Reality of Christianity is this: You have failed to meet God’s Perfect Standard of ...read more

    The Consequences Of Sin

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 17, 2016
     | 5,144 views

    The consequences of sin are hard. The price is heavy. It’s time to plead for God’s mercy. It’s time to confess our sins and ask God to restore and rebuild us.

    Have you ever noticed that life isn’t always fair? After all, if it was fair, people who believed in Christ would never suffer and evildoers would always be punished. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and we saw a good example of this in the reading from Psalm 79:1-9. The psalmist ...read more

     | 6,270 views

    If there isn't a Day of Judgment, then God could not claim to be a righteous God. But God will come and judge us in righteous judgment. What can that mean to us?

    I’m going to give you a test this morning. I’m going to present facts regarding an historical figure from the back in the 1700s, and then I’m going to ask you who I have described: He was a brilliant general who won several battles for his nation, but over time, this general became angry about ...read more

    Judgement Belongs To The Lord

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,494 views

    About every 2000 years God disciplines or punishes His creation. Could it be that the current Corona Virus Crisis is one such occasion.

    Judgement belongs to The Lord 2nd Samuel 24:17 - When David saw the angel who was striking down the people, he said to the Lord, “I have sinned; I, the shepherd, have done wrong. These are but sheep. What have they done? Let your hand fall on me and my family.” Many people have said it in recent ...read more

    Pruned For God's Glory Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Sep 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 405 views

    When life feels most overwhelming, God lovingly prunes us—not to punish or limit us, but to free us from distractions, deepen our roots in Christ, and make us abundantly fruitful for His glory.

    Pruned for His Glory John 15:1-5 Why is it that when life feels most chaotic—our calendars full, our energy drained—we feel the least spiritually alive? What if the very chaos we’re resisting is what God is pruning to make room for real growth? We look across life’s horizon and see endless ...read more
