Sermons About Lust
Blinded by Lust
Judges 13-16 Our 'achilles heel' signifies the weakest or most vulnerable part of our lives, and if left unguarded, can become the means to our spiritual downfall. It is imperative that we know what our achilles heel is so that we can stave off Satan's attacks, which are very pointed and accurate. Although the term 'achilles heel' was taken from the mythical tale of Achilles, there is a story of a real man who lived during Old Testament times who had an achilles heel that led to his spiritual downfall. This man was Samson, and his achilles heel (moral weakness) was his lust for women. In these four chapters of Judges, we see that Samson made the choice of satisfying himself and his lusts, rather than satisfying God. Tonight, Pastor Ramey reads from Judges 13-16 to give us a look at Samson's life and his downfall, which is a picture of the nation of Israel - the nation that he was supposed to be leading. Both squandered a rich spiritual heritage, which eventually led to lives of spiritual decline as they were spread into foreign lands. The saga of Samson can be divided into four episodes: Samson's destiny (Ch. 13), his degeneration (Ch. 14), his downfall (Ch. 15), and his death (Ch. 16). The story of Samson is a story of a man who was called by God for a very special purpose , but who failed to reach his true potential because he never fully understood his true purpose. Samson illustrates much wasted effort pursuing self-serving goals that don't have any eternal value. Nevertheless, God used Samson to carry out His sovereign purpose. Are you doing all that God intended when He put you on this earth? Are you sowing things in your life that will one day lead to your downfall? Stop, before they lead to a shameful end!

Declaration of (in) Dependence Part 2
You can't ignore all the passages in the Bible that emphasize God's wrath and judgment. In fact, if you add them up, they actually total more than the passages about God's love. There are 600 alone in the OT. Here is a sampling from the NT: - John 3:36: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. - Romans 5:9: Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. - Romans 12:19: Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." - Ephesians 5:6: Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. - And those don't even get close to detailing for you the number of passages that mention God's wrath against sin. Obviously, ignoring the Biblical teaching on wrath is not an option, so this week at Sovereign King, let's ask this big picture question: Big Picture Question: If the Gospel is about forgiveness, what happens to God's wrath and how should we live in light of that truth?

Pride
se7en: Pride Reconnect – April 12, 2009 Text: John 20:19-31; Romans 10:8-11 Key Thought: Pride disconnects and destroys, but Jesus offers the antidote: a connection with God that brings health, life and joy. That evening, on the first day of the week, the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. As he spoke, he held out his hands for them to see, and he showed them his side. They were filled with joy when they saw their Lord! ... One of the disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.” Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. He said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!” “My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed. Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who haven’t seen me and believe anyway.” Jesus’ disciples saw him do many other miraculous signs besides the ones recorded in this book. But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing in him you will have life.
