Sermons About Sin
The Flood - yeah right!!
Can you really believe the whole world flooded? Surely Science has it all sewn up? Isn't it just some kind of metaphor? Or is it more plausible than that? And if so what is God saying to us today through it?

Sin
Sin Sin is what went wrong with The Story of Everything. Sin is what is wrong with the world, including us. But God is at work to save the world He made from sin, which is at heart a wrecked relationship with Him that leads to all the other wrecks in our lives and in our world.

Acceptance
Acceptance. Whether you’re a teenager in Jr. High or moving into a new neighborhood, you want acceptance. Do you ever feel distant from God? Does the shame and guilt of sin ever make you feel this distance? As if God doesn’t accept you any longer? What do we do as Christians when we sin? In the apostle John’s first letter, he told his hearers that they could know and experience God’s love and acceptance as those who were in the “fellowship” of the Father and Son and with one another. We can know and experience the love and acceptance of God in our lives.

Devotion at the Crossroads: Idols or the Lord
Idolatry is still a problem today and it is still as unreasonable a sin as it was in Jeremiah's day.

The Aftershock in Our Lives
It is easier to see and feel the impact of sin collectively when we see the news, but many times it is easy to admit our own brokenness. Many times we are willing to admit that the world is messed up but unwilling to admit our own lives are messed up. So we begin a masquerade to cover the brokenness and hide our pain. We do different things to impress different people and sometimes even in an attempt to impress God. We are afraid to admit our own brokenness because it would mean we are needy. We are ashamed to admit our own brokenness because it makes us feel dirty; but the reality is that only when we admit our brokenness can we find healing and can God through Jesus Christ put our lives back together again.

Christian's Witness to the World, Pt. 1 (Matthew 5:13)
We as Christians are in the world “but not of the world.” We are redeemed from sin, new creations in Christ, justified, adopted children of God, citizens of a different kingdom, but, have you ever thought of this: “Why am I still here?” Almost everything that defines you as a Christian you can do better in heaven (worship, love, wont’ sin!). Christians are in the world for one primary purpose: to be witnesses to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The church is God’s witness to a decaying and dark world. Jesus will picture this relationship with the world is illustrated with two metaphors: salt and light. These metaphors speak of her dual roles as preserver and proclaimer. We are going to take the first of these this morning and look at the Church’s role of preservation in a decaying world.
