Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 29, 2023

A question that I get from time to time: How do you determine what is sinful? Jesus' answer is it is sinful if it violates either of the Two Great Commandments

Rejecting Sin

Contributed by Raymond Williams on Mar 30, 2020

Augustine said, “The punishment for sin is sin.” 2 Peter 2:19 teaches, “by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.” GOD’S HAND REMOVED THERE IS NOTHING TO RESTAIN SIN. Our only hope is radical repentance.

Rejecting Sin Text: Hebrews 9 & 10 I have one big problem, and it is myself. Now I know I am not alone in this; I happen to believe the Bible as it is written. Written by men as moved by the Spirit of God. The medium used to convey the will of God to man is very fragile, changes as to ...read more

The Unpardonable Sin Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

The Unpardonable Sin is a particular teaching that has really haunted people for a long time. As a pastor, people often ask if they have committed the sin that cannot and will not be forgiven. Some here today have a paralyzing fear they have committed the “unpardonable sin.”

Several weeks ago, I asked for your help in your choice of today’s sermon. Your top choice was “When Will Jesus Return to Earth?” But a little analysis of the results led us to understand that it was really only this early service that asked for this topic. So … at 9:30, 11 and at Cross Church, our ...read more

What Is Sin? Series

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 12, 2021

Does sin still matter? A USA Today article asked, “Is Sin Dead?” The Pope said the world is losing the notion of sin. We look at the nature of sin, the problems it brings, and the only real solution to it.

What is sin? How did sin originate? Did we inherit sin? What happens when Christians sin? Does God have a solution to sin? This Strange Word Sin is a strange word to our modern ears.

The First Sin Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Jun 22, 2020

Why does God allow sin?

We are doing a series of messages surrounding the truth from Romans 3:23 which states “All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God”! As we noted last week, this is a truth we need to deal with, especially as we anticipate the return of Jesus Christ to earth. Each one of us sins and the whole ...read more

Secret Sin

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 21, 2020

Your sin is not a secret; the eye of God has seen it; you have sinned before his face. God's eye pierces through the darkness; the brick walls which surrounded you were as transparent as glass to the eye of the Almighty God.

SECRET SIN One of Satan's biggest lies is that there are some sins that God does not either care about or know about (David Scudder). Not only does God know about our secret sins, but sooner or later, one way or the other, ...read more

For The Remission Of Sins Series

Contributed by Ron Freeman, Evangelist on Nov 6, 2020

To clarify that the preposition “for” in the phrase” for the remission of sins" does not mean "because." The Greek word "eis" means “for, into, unto, or toward” in all reputable Greek-English New Testament Interlinear. To deny this truth is to reject the Scripture.

INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. For the Remission of Sins Introductory Remarks. 1. In this lesson today, we will be discussing the theme: “For the Remission of Sins." This is the ninth lesson in the sermon series entitled: "Re-digging in Old Wells." There will be many others bearing this ...read more

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Aug 25, 2025

We all know what happens to one who is betrayed. But what happens to the betrayer? What ramifications does the betrayer await? In this message, I will reveal hidden truths about just how serious God takes betrayal and his judgment against those who have betrayed you.

What ramifications can one expect when they betray someone? We all know the pain and heartache a person who HAS BEEN betrayed experiences, but what does that act do the betrayer themselves?

The Black Of Sin Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 6, 2025

I couldn't find a scripture that equated sin or iniquity with the color black (a color of bead used in the popular "witness bracelet"). But the Bible does talk about sin as a "deep darkness" and that description has powerful implications for Christians.

It was a dark, dark night. A man was making his way home from working late, and as he often did, he walked home through a cemetery because it was a quicker route. However, because it was so dark, he didn’t notice a new grave had been dug in his path, and he tumbled into a 7 foot deep hole in the ...read more

The Unpardonable Sin

Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 13, 2025

There has been a lot of controversy over this subject. What does the bible say about the unpardonable sin?

Jesus had been performing miracles. He had cast out the evil spirits from a man. The Pharisees had been saying he was an imposter, refuting his ministry. They attributed the work of the Holy Spirit as the work of Satan verse 24, his answer verse 31. There is a sin that God will not forgive, it is ...read more
