Sermons About Condition
Extreme Righteousness
In instructing his readers not to be "overly righteous", the Teacher is calling all of us to steer clear of "extreme righteousness", that attitude in which we ultimately trust that our own goodness will make us worthy before God.

Sober Up!
When the Teacher tells his listeners that a funeral is better than a party, he is calling them to be 'sobered up' by the reality of death and suffering, from a drunkeness fueled by distraction and diversion.

He's Coming: Are You Ready?
"He's Coming: Are You Ready?" Malachi 3:1-5 Part 9 Our readiness for His coming involves: 1. A thought that should challenge us. His coming should challenge: · The unbeliever to experience salvation. · The believer to pursue sanctification. This challenge involves: · A diligent examination. · A daily expectation. This expectation includes: * Wanting. * Waiting. * Watching. 2. A testing that should concern us. This testing involves: * A confrontation by the Lord. * Our condition before the Lord. Our condition will determine whether the day of His coming will result in a: * Grievous condemnation. * Glorious celebration.

Are You Ready? -Overview of Malachi-
Overview of Malachi Malachi 1:1 God’s last Old Testament message to His earthly people Israel is directed to the remnant that returned from the Babylonian captivity. This remnant had totally failed during the decades after the return in their testimony for God. It is true that the Jews did no longer serve the idols as they did before the exile, but their moral condition was marked by indifference, despising of God and unbelief. Into this situation God declares His unchanging love for the people and points out their sins and their departure from His commandments (Mal. 1 – 2). But God also announces to the Jews that severe judgments will come upon them before he sends his next prophet to usher in the coming of Jesus Christ. (Mal. 3 – 4). Over the next couple months we will examine this ancient message and learn principles and commands that remain true today. The book of Malachi is truly an “Ancient Truth for Modern Times”
