    Each of the Gospel writers had the same faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Each of the four Gospels is written from a different perspective. This sermon focuses on the Gospel of John.

    The Problem Of Sin Series

     | 3,928 views

    Paul’s point in our text today is that when it comes to sin, we are all in it together. We are all sinners and stand guilty before God.

    THE PROBLEM WITH SIN Text: Rom. 3:9-20 Introduction 1. Illustration: One of the greatest powers of rationalization ever seen is the ability of people to explain away their sin. Our society finds all types of excuses, like poor parenting, social disadvantages, mistreatment by others and so on. ...read more

    The Gift Is Better Than The Wages

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 3, 2021
     | 4,415 views

    Thankfully, Romans 6:23 does not end with the words the wages of sin is death. It continues with the promise we all need, saying that yes, death is the punishment for sin, “but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

    Alba 10-3-2021 THE GIFT IS BETTER THAN THE WAGES Romans 6:23 Sin. There is that word again. It dogs us, it tempts us, and it uses us and tears us down. It is like a virus that doesn't go away. Sin is the virus that has infected the whole human race – there is no human cure for it and there ...read more

    The law has a purpose beyond itself. The law is a tool to form a people for God.

    Judicial philosophy is much in the news right now. And underlying the debates – in addition to some very important policy issues - are some very fundamental questions. Who makes the law? Where does law come from? What is law for? What can law do? What role should religion play in the formation of ...read more

    WHY: Lying harms individuals and society, and us even more. HOW: It is a spiritual issue, and we need the help of the Holy Spirit.

    Out-Of-The-Box-Worship

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,114 views

    Worship doesn’t involve behaving as if nothing is wrong; it’s making sure everything is right—right with God and with one another. When our greatest fear is letting down our hair, perhaps our greatest sin is keeping it up.

    Opening illustration: Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a ...read more

    Power, Love And Self-Discipline (Part Two Of Two)

     | 1,539 views

    2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." Last week we saw how we can counter fear by operating in God's power. Today we'll see our need to overcome fear to operate in the spirit of love and self-discipline.

    POWER, LOVE AND SELF-DISCIPLINE (part two) Recap: 2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline."

    Psalms 58 And 109 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 5, 2020
     | 5,725 views

    The outrage expressed in passages in these psalms are examples of times David seemed to be "fed up" with his enemies. He pours out his fury to God, not intending for his Father to act on the ills he calls for, but for God to see the passion poisoning his heart and send relief.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more
