Adultery, Christian family and the Church

adultery

“If a man commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death…” Leviticus 20:10-14

Introduction

In today’s sermon I want to address the sin of adultery and why Christians must refrain from it. First let me explain what is adultery?

This is a sin against the marriage of a fellow citizen – it destroys the home. The Law distinguished between adultery (which had a death penalty) and sexual contact with a young woman (which carried a monetary fine and usually marriage if the father was willing). So it distinguished fornication and adultery. Both were sins, but the significance of each was different. In the ancient world this sin is often referred to as “the great sin.” (source: www.bible.org)

Sermon on divine healing – Healing is rightfully yours

Healing Image by: SXC.HU

Introduction

In today’s sermon I want to address 3 common misconceptions about divine healing.

1. Sin keeps you away from being healed
2. Divine healing is limited only to biblical times
3. Only Jesus Christ could heal sicknesses

Theme: Healing and salvation rightfully belongs to you

Let us see how the Bible answers the first misconception

1. Through salvation we earn our healing as well, Isaiah 53:5a

A. He was wounded because of our rebellious deeds, crushed because of our sins; (deals with the sin problem)
i. Praise the Lord, O my soul! Do not forget all his kind deeds! He is the one who forgives all your sins, (Psalms 103:2-3a)
ii. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning and live for righteousness. (1 Peter 2:24)
iii. Son your sins are forgiven… (Mark 2:5-11) Click here to read the rest of, Sermon on divine healing – Healing is rightfully yours

Spiritual Gifts

Introduction

1. The Bible uses the human body as a model to describe the structure of the church.

2. Jesus Christ is the head and we are the body.

3. The body is made of different parts but, serves a one purpose. The welfare of the person.

4. The church is formed of different people with different gifts bestowed by the Holy Spirit, but works for a common goal: The edification of the church.
5. Let me share with you a couple of important truths in the area of spiritual gifts (Assuming you already have a basic knowledge of the Holy Spirit and His ministries).

Salvation: The work(s) of God

Text: John 9:1-41

Introduction

The phrase, ‘work(s) of God’ appears approximately nine times in the book of John. The Greek term ‘ergon’ used in place of ‘work(s)’ gives the meaning effort. When you interpret these clues in the context of the gospel (John penned it to prove the messianicship of Jesus Christ), it is clear that John intended to communicate that God is making continuous efforts to set human race free from sin and bondage or to provide salvation. What can we learn about salvation from this passage? Click here to read the rest of, Salvation: The work(s) of God
