Goodbye to Sin!
by Jerry Vines
"Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suf-fered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; what in the world does he mean by that? That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Ge~ i es, when we- wal ked i-n lasci.viiousnes - lusts, excess of wine, revellings, bariquetings, and abominable idolatries: W;herein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. For this cause was the...
The Beginning of Sin
by Jim Henry
There was a little cartoon of a coupT'Q leaving church one Sunday. They had made their way around the preac er. Sometimes folks do that. But in this particular church, the preachier was out in the front and the couple was going around him. The man's wife was about a half-step in front of him. He was going out with his head bowed, dejected. She was kind of towering over him. After they got out of earshot of the preacher, she turns to the man in the cartoon and said, "Harold, don't you understand? Don't look so dejected! That sermon was for everybody there, not just you!" Well, when you look at...
Sin Is the Issue
by David Cawston
Mark 2:1-12 1And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. 2 Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. 3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. 4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, 'Son, your sins are forgiven you.' 6 And some...
Struggling with Sin?
by Dr. Ed Young
In our study of the book of Romans, this morning we look at an exceedingly difficult chapter, one that has caused great controversy among Christian theologians through the years. I invite you to open your Bibles if you would to Romans, Chapter Number 7, and we'll look at these words together. Romans 7. Let's bow for prayer. "Father, this morning we do indeed walk in deep water. We trust that in the process Thy Spirit will show us how to swim, and those places where we can touch the bottom of it. We come with many needs - some expecting nothing... some with, yea, great expectations. You deal with us, 0, Lord, we ask, where we live, where we are. Give us sensitivity...
The Sin That Nobody Confesses as Sin (11 of 11)
by Ken Trivette
1. D.L. Moody speaking on covetousness said, "Whoever heard it confessed as sin? I have heard many confessions, in public and private, during the past 40 years, but never have I heard a man confess that he was guilty of this sin." Another minister said, "Among all the prayers in prayer meeting and deep confessions of sin in times of searching, I have never once heard the sin of covetousness acknowledged." One preacher preaching on covetousness entitled his sermon, The Sin We Never Admit. 2. The tenth and final commandment declares, "Thou shalt not covet." It seems that no one will admit that they have been guilty of...
The Sin of Silence
by James Merritt
Introduction 1. ‘‘You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can And will be used against you in a court of law. You have the Right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will Be provided for you. Do you understand these rights?’’ 2. If you’ve ever seen a TV show, or a movie, or if you’ve Unfortunately been arrested, you are familiar with what is known As the Miranda warning. Now where does this warning come from? Well, many believe it’s not from the constitution or common law, But it was simply a product of the supreme court’s fertile Imagination. But be that as it may, it is the law and it’s a law That says you have...
Turn from Sin and Turn to the Savior
by Robert Walker
J. Edwin Orr, a professor of Church history has described the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit during the Welsh Revivals of the nineteenth century. As people sought to be filled with the Spirit, they did all they could to confess their wrongdoing and to make restitution. But it unexpectedly created serious problems for the shipyards along the coast of Wales. Over the years workers had stolen all kinds of things, from wheelbarrows to hammers. However, as people sought to be right with God they started to return what they had taken, with the result that soon the shipyards of Wales were overwhelmed with returned property. There were...
Christ Made Sin
by Charles H. Spurgeon
For he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21). I daresay I have preached from this text several times in your hearing. If my life be spared, I hope to preach from it twice as many more. The doctrine it teaches, like salt upon the table, must never be left out; or like bread, which is the staff of life, it is proper at every meal. See here the foundation-truth of Christianity, the rock on which our hopes are built. It is the only hope of a sinner, and the only true joy of the Christian-the great transaction, the great substitution, the great lifting of sin from...
The Sin Issue (5 of 7)
by Jerry Branch
1 John 1:6-10 (ESV) 6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. We're continuing to work through the letter, 1 John, and last week, you'll recall, that we saw in verse 5 that God...
Sin and Promise (3)
by Zach Terry
INTRODUCTION: If you could go and visit any decade of your life which would it be? How many say the 80's? 90's? any 60's? That's the crowd you have to watch out for...Here's the point - in each of us there is a longing for a time long since gone. I don't mean the 80's I mean LONG since gone. 1. You sense it every time you go to a funeral. It's not supposed to be like this. 2.You sense it when you work and find your labor difficult and you know deep down, it's not supposed to be like this. 3.You sense it when you try to make marriage work and you find it terribly difficult at times.4.You sense it when you feel distant from God...
Is Hardship a Sign of Our Sin? (4)
by Patrick Edwards
The apostle John records in his gospel the following event: As [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, ''Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?'' Jesus answered, ''It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.'' Having said these things, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud and said...
The Evolution Of A Sin
by Adrian Rogers
Genesis chapter three and we're going to look today at these next six verses. "Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die, for God doth know that in the day that ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened...
The Sin of Achan
by Ron Dunn
Would you open your Bibles tonight to the Old Testament, the book of Joshua, chapter 7? The book of Joshua is comparable to the New Testament book of Ephesians in that both books have to do with our inheritance in the Lord. Ephesians has to do with describing the inheritance that is ours through the Lord Jesus Christ; Joshua has to do with the people coming into their inheritance. You remember that they have wandered in the wilderness for 40 years. I heard someone say the other day that they were just a step away from victory. Well, the Israelites were just a step away from victory, but they wandered for...
Overcoming Sin
by Robert Walker
Tradition tells us that Abraham Lincoln went to a slave auction, and he noticed a rather attractive black woman who was about to be auctioned off. So he began bidding. The bidding went back and forth until finally he had purchased her. They brought her over to him, and he instructed them to take the shackles off her wrists and ankles. Then he said to her, ''You are free to go.'' She looked at him and said, ''You mean that I don't have to go home with you?'' He said, ''No, you don't.'' She said, ''You mean that I don't have to do what you tell me to do, or say what you tell me to say?'' ''That's right.'' ''You mean I don't have to be your slave, I don't have...
Sin and Death
by George H. Morrison
There is perhaps no statement in all the writings of Paul that has done more to discredit his authority than this one. That death, whenever it touches man, is the wages of sin; that had there been no sin man would not have died is one of the sweeping statements of the apostle that is rejected by many as ridiculous. That there are certain sins which hand a man on to death is of course a fact which nobody denies. There is not a doctor here but has seen people dying and knew that they were dying because of their vicious lives. But Paul is not talking here of vicious lives. He includes the child and the saint and the purest and most...
The Unpardonable Sin
by Rex Yancey
Jesus performed a double miracle on the Sabbath day. He went to a church that was filled with lost members, hypocritical preachers, and cold and unconcerned sinners. These people accused Jesus of working miracles in the power of Satan. These words brought from the lips of Jesus the message of the unpardonable sin. What is the worst sin you can think of this morning? I have a preacher friend who experienced the nightmare of every good husband and father. His wife was kidnapped by two men while he was visiting the hospital. She was held for several days and raped. All the while, she was witnessing to them...
The Unpardonable Sin
by Dr. J. Vernon McGee
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. (John 16:7, 8) Our entire system of jurisprudence is undergoing a revolution of great proportions. The legal apparatus of our nation is being remodeled and revised. There is emerging an entirely different approach to the arrest and conviction of alleged criminals. The former purpose of the law was to punish the guilty and to protect the innocent. The new concept of justice is weighed...
The Forgivable but Still Worse than Other Sin, or, What's the Big Deal? (29 of 44)
by Patrick Edwards
For some weeks now we've been looking at the foundation, the purpose, and the heart of the local church. Paul has shown us throughout 1 Timothy simply why we exist, what we are supposed to look like, and what we are supposed to do. Two weeks ago we tackled particularly the question of leadership and administration over the church, looking at the qualifications and requirements that Paul sets over the church. One qualification we didn't spend much time on was the qualification that an elder or deacon must be the husband of one wife. The church hasn't been alone in wrestling with what this phrase means and does not...
