Sin Kills

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 20, 2021

Temptation is common to all human beings. It is a result of the desires that lingers in our hearts. It draws us away from God's principles and fall into sin. This leads to spiritual death as we become separated from God.

TEXT: James 1:14-15 NLT "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death." TEMPTATIONS WILL COME You will be tempted over and over again. These temptations arise ...read more

Sins Of Omission Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

The basic definition of sin is missing the mark. It is missing the opportunity to do good, and choosing instead to do evil, or to do nothing at all. And the nothing at all is often overlooked as being a part of the whole problem of sin.

We are tempted to do evil, but seldom think of the reality that we are also tempted to not do good. It is possible to be doing nothing wrong, and still be living in sin, because of what we are not doing. This is the surprising truth that James hits us with in 4:17 where he says, "Anyone, ...read more

Confession Of Sin Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

All sin is sin against God. If we sin against people it is only sin because we violate a law of God. All confession, therefore, is legitimate before God, but not all sin should be confessed before men. Confession is to go as far as the sin.

The Man Of Sin Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

The church is restraining the power of Satan by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is why the church is the light and salt of the world. As long as the church does its task, the man of sin cannot take over.

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.

Men And Their Sin

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jun 20, 2022

What does God do with the sin of mankind? Can a man standing get away with it? Can you sin and get away with it?

There Are No Advantages To Sin

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 27, 2021

The Scriptures are filled with illustrations of people who learned the hard way and oftentimes too late that sinful actions carry a high price and prove to be of no advantage to anyone. What, then, is your excuse?

The Bible has never been shy or unapologetic when it comes to exposing the sins, deceit, and wickedness of fallen humanity and our war against the righteousness and holiness of God.
