    Qualifying Sin

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Sep 21, 2015
     | 3,199 views

    QUALIFYING SIN Blinded By Ignorance People do not seem to enjoy hearing sermons about sin; perhaps that is why we seldom take the time to really preach on the definition of sin. We leave people with an unclear perspective on sin in their lives. As a result, people consider sinning to be ...read more

This is what the disciples did in Luke’s Gospel, where Chapters 9-19 are in the form of a journey from Galilee to Jerusalem. In the first week Wayne introduced ...read more
