    Turning Away From Sin And Its Enslavement - Test #2 Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 23, 2012
     | 6,209 views

    The fact is if you are enslaved by some habit of sin, and you knowingly continue in that sin, you cannot truly love God. If you did, you would work at getting through that sinful habit.

    Do you really love God? We need to be sure if we really love God the way God expects. And I have to ask the question “Do you consistently turn from sin or do you find that you have some little habits that are sinful and you just can’t seem to break away from them? Are you enslaved by ...read more

     | 4,560 views

    When we disobey God by sinning, let’s not shift the blame or justify our actions with the faulty “the devil made me do it” theology. Instead, let’s take full responsibility for our actions, confess our sins to a gracious and forgiving Father, and pursue r

    Opening illustration: In March 2009, a 62-year old woman was charged with stealing more than $73,000 from her church in the state of Washington. When the detectives interrogated her, she told them: “Satan had a big part in the theft.” It sounds like she was saying that the devil made ...read more

    How To Get Out Of Babylon

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on Jun 29, 2010
    based on 17 ratings
     | 38,002 views

    Babylon is more than a ancient land mentioned in the Bible. Babylon is anywhere we as believers don't belong. It is being held captive by the devil.

    INTRODUCTION: The sentiment of the Israelites during this difficult time in their history is summed up there in the fourth verse. "How shall we sing the Lord's song in this strange land?" In other words, we really don't belong here in Babylon. We are aliens here. We are refugees here. We are ...read more

    Continuing In Him

    The scripture makes a great distinction between a Christian who occasionally commits sin and a lost person who lives a lifestyle of sin.

    CONTINUING IN HIM INTRODUCTION: Today some of you will not like the sermon. I know that because I have preached it before and some people did not like it. Some will call it mean-spirited, unloving or even un-Christian. Sometimes, in trying to teach a positive lesson we need to use negative words. ...read more

    To fail to do what is right is not only sin, but is unproductive. What of our knowledge resources and our financial resources? Are they making a difference? If not, no gain.

    Calverton Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD, August 15, 1982; Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, Sept. 30, 1984) Preachers find sermons in all sorts of strange places, and I found this one in a bottle!

    A sermon on Proverbs 26:27 (Introduction taken from Ronnie Brown http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/whoso-diggeth-a-pit-ronnie-brown-sermon-on-salvation-83999.asp) (Outline taken from Pulpit Commentary)

    Introduction: At first glance at this verse I think of the oddest image in my mind. I think of a cartoon. The verse at first glance seems comical, very much like the sly coyote. The roadrunner and coyote cartoons are great and so funny. One that is scheming and designing and laying out a trap for ...read more

    Absalom provides a good example of the sin of pride and the conseqence of breaking the fifth commandment, Honor your father and mother.

    Today we will see from the life of Absalom what the outcome of breaking God’s fifth command is. It reads, “ Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.” Absalom, who was King David’s third son, had his life cut short because ...read more
