Sermons on Character Studies
The Thieves – Salvation is Free
If God’s perfect Son had remained distant and not drawn near to us, there would be no means of forgiveness for our sins. The story of the thieves gives us hope by demonstrating their experience of God’s love and mercy.
The Condemned Sinner – Barabbas
The story of Barabbas and the angry mob demonstrates how quick we are to follow the crowd and discard God. But in Jesus’ cross, we are free from the punishment and condemnation we deserve.
The Worldly Skeptic – Pilate
If we seek man’s approval, we will never find God. The desire to please people will keep us from God’s grace offered in Jesus.
Finite Leaders. Infinite God.
Many leaders experience the temptation to consider themselves as indispensable to those they lead, but as Moses’ demonstrates, effective and long-lasting leadership demands wisdom and community.
The Best Is Yet To Come
The story of Moses’ extraordinary life and death offers an opportunity to see God’s hand throughout his life in incredible ways, but it also offers us hope in something far greater than this unique servant of God.
Expect Opposition
A few sound words of commitment to God do not prove a heart commitment to God. Balaam’s life and actions demonstrate that if we set our heart on sinful pursuits, we cannot avoid enticing others to sin.
The Nature and Danger of Rebellion
The most dangerous place to take a stand is in the soil of rebellion.
The Tragedy of Unbelief
God never makes a promise that He fails to fulfill. But without a strong faith, we will miss God’s reward.
