Sermons on Sin (Page 2)
Brokenness (Matthew 7:24-27)
It is very tempting to immediately seek a surface remedy for our sins without truly digging deep into our souls; however, we so often do not dig down deep enough to build our lives on the Rock that is Christ. Because of this our faith wavers and easily falls. Pride is our issue Pride precedes every fall into sin. Pride is refusing to see ourselves for what we truly are. Pride places the blame for our sin upon other people…
The Search for Pleasure (Proverbs 16:25)
We were created to find joy in God. However, because of our sinful nature and willful rebellion against God, our heart’s desires are broken. We seek pleasure everywhere but God Our internal cravings are broken. We believe that we are craving porn, drunkenness, etc., but what our souls really need is God Himself. These desires seem right, but they can never fulfill us. In our depraved state we will constantly seek after things that bring fleeting pleasure, yet will not…
The Disease of the Soul (Psalm 16:11)
Over the next few weeks we are going to be taking a break from John to take a closer look at the human condition. We want to see why we were created, how the Fall affected us, and why we desire certain sins. Throughout the whole study we want to see how Jesus forgives us, heals us, and delivers us. It is my prayer that this study will help you see victory over habitual sins, find peace in Christ, and…
Why Do Bad Things Happen? (John 9:1-3)
Jesus and His disciples now come across a man who was born blind. The disciples ask Jesus why this happened. “Why do bad things happen?” is a huge question that all human beings wrestle with. The disciples believed that all bad things were a direct punishment for sin. In their understanding, either God was punishing this man for some sin he committed before he was born, or God was punishing the man’s parents for their sin by giving them a…
Freedom from Sin (John 8:31-36)
After hearing Jesus teach, many people now profess faith in Jesus Christ. They are convinced that He is the Messiah. Jesus now addresses those who profess Him as Christ. We must continue in Jesus’ word Not all those who say they believe in Jesus are saved. Only those whose faith produces a lifestyle of obedience are true disciples. We will continue in obedience to Jesus’ words if we are truly born again. If we do not follow Jesus’ teachings, we…
The Right Use of the Law (John 7:19-25)
The people are questioning where Jesus’ teachings come from because He teaches differently than what they have heard. Jesus shows them that He is not teaching for His own selfish reasons, but He is seeking God’s glory. He then uses their hatred of Him for healing on the Sabbath day to expose that they are breakers of Moses Law and stand condemned. Moses gave the Law Just as Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with the Law of God, so…
Breaking Generational Sins
Children will follow in the Father’s sins Children will inherit the sin nature of their father. They will become like him and follow him in his sins. The sins of the father will be passed down for multiple generations. In the church, home, and society we are reaping the rotten fruit of generational sin. Broken homes, drunkenness, sexual immorality and the like are spiraling out of control. Why? Because of the fathers’ sins. The sins of the fathers are being…
A Savior from Self
Jesus has just finished feeding the five thousand. Jesus is not the Savior they are looking for After seeing the miracles the people believe that Jesus is the Messiah, which He is. The Messiah has come to overthrow their oppressors, heal them, set them free, and give them a new life. They take this to mean that Jesus will overthrow the Romans, take away physical diseases, make them the new earthly rulers, and change their circumstances. Jesus did not come…
There is Something Worse (John 5:1-16)
Jesus here encounters a man who is unable to walk. He found him setting beside a place of miraculous healing, but the man was still unable to walk. The man is incapable of moving himself for healing No matter how much the lame man desires to walk or how powerful the healing in the pool may be, the man is simply unable to move himself to be healed. This illustrates how we are completely incapable of attaining our salvation. We…
Sin’s Effects
The choice to sin was in reality a choice by Adam and Eve to know and experience both good and evil. Up until this point all they had ever known was good; now they begin to know evil. The moment they ate the fruit, they died spiritually. From here we can see the effects of sin. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves…
Sin
Now the serpent was more subtil 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? Genesis 3:1 Sin begins with the temptation to not believe God. All sin is born out of unbelief. 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…
Seek Him for Yourself (John 4:39-42)
The Samaritan woman now goes into the village to tell people of her encounter with Jesus. Many people believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony The Samaritan woman tells people about her encounter with Jesus. Her testimony is that Jesus exposed all of her sin. This teaches us two things about believers openly confessing their sins when they share the Gospel. One, people need to have their sin exposed, and many times the best way to do that is…
