Sermons About Greed
Lust
Text: I Thessalonians 4:1-5; Romans 8:1-2 Key Thought: Lust disconnects and destroys, but Jesus offers the antidote: a connection with God that brings health, life and joy. Finally dear brothers and sisters, we urge you in the name of the Lord Jesus to live in a way that pleases God, as we have taught you. You are doing this already, and we encourage you to do so more and more. For you remember what we taught you in the name of the Lord Jesus. God wants you to be holy, so you should keep clear of all sexual sin. Then each of you will control your body and live in holiness and honour – not in lustful passion as the pagans do, in their ignorance of God and his ways. (I Thessalonians 4:1-5, NLT)

Greed: The Killer of Authentic Worship
The reason I am preaching this passage is because we are so inclined to desire material wealth in our society that we soon can find ourselves shunning the Lord and His will for what we have twisted into a knew god. The god Mammon is a brutal and cruel taskmaster who will destroy all joy and happiness in what the true God has provided for us if we do not pay particular attention to these verses.

Wrath
Wrath disconnects and destroys, but Jesus offers the antidote: a connection with God that brings health, life and joy. "Understand this, my dear friends: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the just kind of life God desires. So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls." (James 1:19-21, NLT)

Gluttony
Sin disconnects and destroys, but Jesus offers the antidote: a connection with God that brings health, life and joy. "Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to its lustful desires. Do not let any part of your body become a tool of wickedness, to be used for sinning. Instead, give yourselves completely to God since you have been given new life. And use your whole body as a tool to do what is right for the glory of God." (Romans 6:12-13, NLT)

Song of the Risen Holy One
The Psalmist is preaching the gospel to himself- recounting what it means to take refuge in the Lord, and the earthly & eternal benefits he receives. All of this is guaranteed by the resurrection of Jesus for our salvation.

Defending the Ungrateful Nine. Warning to the Ungrateful. Gratitude tends to wear off. Gratitude tends to want more. Gratitude too easily focuses on the gift rather than the giver. Gratitude can be hard work.
