Sermons on Confessing Sin
February 4, Sunday Service of Worship
In this service, Pastor Duane preaches from Romans 3:9-18.
Responding Rightly to Jesus the Lord (Acts 2:36-40)
Peter urged the men of Israel who participated in the crucifixion of Jesus to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus. Responding rightly to Jesus as Lord and Christ means repenting and being baptized in his name for the forgiveness of sins, effectively orienting one’s life to God through…
Attracted to Sin (Genesis 19:23-38)
If we need to come to God for his righteous in order to escape judgment, then we ought to be wary of the hurdles that might seek to trip us up and prevent us from coming to God for salvation. And the fleeting passions and pleasures of this life have the power to do just that. Lot, his wife, and his two daughters had been sent out of Sodom to avoid the judgment, which here…
Righteous Reception of Messengers of God’s Judgment (Genesis 19:1-22)
The righteous willingly receive God’s messengers of judgment and respond wisely to the message they carry.
Good Friday 2019: Remembering the Benefits of God (Psalm 103:1-12)
The cross of Jesus brought near all the benefits of God to those who believe, including forgiveness of sins, restoration to God, redemption from sin and death, a crown of love and mercy, contentment and satisfaction in life, and renewed spiritual vigor.
The Passover Lamb (Luke 22:7-20)
NOTE: Sermon audio includes post-sermon communion Jesus celebrates the Passover with his disciples. As he does, he assumes the mantle of the Passover Lamb. The Son of God is the Passover Lamb, sacrificed for the sin of the world, whereby God perpetually passes over the sins of his people. This covenant of forgiven sins is unbreakable as it has been sealed and ratified by…
Entrance Is Through The Narrow Door (Luke 13:22-30)
As Jesus travels along, the people of Israel are having difficulty embracing the words of Jesus. Jesus has been preaching repentance and judgment with the indication that many out of Israel might not be saved. Someone in the crowds asks Jesus if it will really only be a few saved. Jesus responds…
Repent or Perish! (Luke 13:1-9)
In the opening passage from Luke 13, Jesus responds to some in the crowds who thought they were not sinners because others had suffered more. They reasoned that since God is just, those who suffer must be great sinners. However, Jesus reveals this line of reasoning to be false and rooted in self-righteousness. The reality is that each and everyone will perish without…
Hypocrisy Lies Close At Hand (Luke 12:1-12)
Jesus warns his disciples to beware the leaven of the Pharisees, because the temptation to hypocrisy is near. Rather than give in to the temptation to please the crowds, we ought live rightly before God and others, confessing our sins to God and to others that we might be healed.
