The Danger of Little Things
Donald Cantrell
1 Corinthians 5: 1 - 7
1Co 5:6 KJV - Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1Co 5:7 KJV - Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
I - The Problem of Sin is Proposed (1 - 6a)
II - The Power of Sin is Pondered (6b)
III - The Purging of Sin is Prescribed (7a)
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points.
Theme: ''Sin is likened to leaven, if left alone it will grow''
Little Things Can Cause Big Problems
In the early to mid 1950's an airline company began to make the first state of the art passenger airliners. They came up with the idea of pressurizing the cabins, allowing their air craft to fly higher and faster than any other jet in the world.
They created the perfect jet airliner, or so they thought. But in 1954 two of their air liners literally disintegrated in mid air, killing 56 people. The designers of this jet over looked one very little detail, which caused these jets to disintegrate, square windows.
They failed to recognize that square windows caused numerous weak points, all throughout the plane, causing the plane to literally disintegrate in mid air. Today, every window on every airliner is oval or round.
Little Things Matter
Some years ago, the Hyatt Regency decided to build a state of the art Hotel in Kansas City. They designed a double decker walk way which was to be suspended from the ceiling. The original plans called for one single steel pole to hold the structure together, but someone decided it would be better to used two individual poles, one pole for each level, instead of the one long one.
That little change caused the structure to collapse, which resulted in the deaths of 114 people and injuring 216 others, costing the Hyatt Regency 140 million dollars in lawsuits.
