Sermons on Sin (Page 3)

Which Way?

We have come to the end of another school year, and we have come to the end of our study in the Book of Colossians. For the next few months, we will be working through the Psalms on Sunday mornings. As we study the praise songs of God’s people, we are going to be reminded of why they are so relevant, instructive, and comforting even today. The Psalms remind us that…

The Hope of the Resurrection

This is the time of year when we celebrate the focal point of all human history. That might sound like an overstatement, but I assure that it isn’t. The events of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ stand as the most significant to ever occur. Mankind lives in slavery to sin and death, and we are powerless to free ourselves. This week, we celebrate the…

Putting Our Sin to Death

There is good news and bad news this week. The good news is that the passage that we are studying is fairly easy to understand. The language is clear, the words are recognizable, and the flow of thought is very consistent. The bad news is that there is no mistaking what this passage says about sin, and about our involvement in that sin. This week, we look at “Putting Sin…

Putting Our Theology into Practice

What does it mean to worship, and what are the ways that we are called to worship? Perhaps most of us hear the word and immediately think of the songs that we sing on a Sunday morning. And that certainly is one aspect of our worship. But really, to worship is to recognize the honor, merit, or value of something. When we worship, we recognize and respond to the greatness…

The Folly of Man-Made Religion: Part 2

We are moving through the heart of the book of Colossians. The foundation has been laid, and Paul has made it clear that in Jesus Christ believers have everything that they need. Now, as we move through chapter 2, he begins to address the dangerous false teaching that was creeping into the church in Colossae. What are some of the characteristics of that false teaching?…

The Son of Adam

(Click “Save” above to download the sermon and notes.) During this Advent season, there is a great deal of anticipation. Some of that anticipation is the excitement and joy that surrounds this season. We look forward to friends, family, gifts, food, and so many wonderful things. Some of that anticipation comes closer to apprehension. The season might bring…

Transformed from Death to Life

(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) In a week where we set aside time to be thankful, we want you to know that we are thankful for YOU! If you are a visitor, thank you for making time to worship with us. If you have any questions about who we are or what we do here, then we would love to connect with you. If you are a regular attendee or…

Transformed from Blindness to Sight

(Click “SAVE” above to download the sermon and notes.) The past week or so has been a difficult time for many of us. We have seen tragedy and terror strike close to home. We have seen fires and all of the uncertainty that comes with natural disaster. And yet, as we saw last week, we are called to be a people who are faithful rather than fearful. That kind of…

Transformed from Bondage to Freedom

Click “SAVE” to download the sermon and notes. Today we will see how Jesus never shied away from interacting with the hurt, sick, or troubled. Unlike other teachers of his day, he made it a point to share the love of God with the “unlovable” in order to display the transforming power he offers all people. The power to transform people out of their…

Satisfying the Wrath of God

(Click on “Save” above to download this week’s sermon notes.) Sunday we look at the hard reality that God takes sin very seriously. Sometimes our dry, boring, discouraging lives come because we haven’t dealt with issues that are destroying us. We’ll learn that the Valley of Trouble (Achor) can become the valley of hope when we turn to God and…
