Sermons on Sin
Aftter the Flood
Genesis 9:1-29 After the flood, God renews His covenant with humanity through Noah, restoring order and purpose to creation. Humanity is commanded to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, echoing the original mandate given to Adam. Yet, the relationship between humans and animals changes—fear replaces harmony, and for the first time, meat is permitted for food, though the sanctity of blood must be respected as a symbol of life. Blood becomes central throughout Scripture, representing atonement, covenant, cleansing, and…
Noah’s Ark
Gen 7:1-8:22 God saw that the world had grown corrupt and violent, yet one man, Noah, stood out as righteous. God called him to build an enormous ark and to gather animals — seven pairs of every clean kind and two of the unclean — to preserve life through the coming judgment. While Noah built the ark over many years, people around him laughed and dismissed his warnings. Even as the massive structure neared completion and the animals began to…
Murder
Genesis 4-5 After leaving Eden, Adam and Eve have two sons: Cain, a farmer, and Abel, a shepherd. Both bring offerings to God—Cain from his crops, Abel from the firstborn of his flock. God accepts Abel’s offering but not Cain’s, though the text does not explain why. Cain becomes angry and jealous, ignoring God’s warning that sin is “crouching at the door.” In his jealousy, Cain kills Abel, committing the first murder. When God questions Cain, he denies responsibility, replying,…
The Fall
Genesis 3 We begin with Adam and Eve living in the Garden of Eden with only one command: not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The serpent tempts Eve, questioning God’s word and suggesting God is withholding something good. Eve adds to the command by saying they must not even touch the tree, then sees the fruit as good, eats it, and gives it to Adam, who also eats. Their eyes are opened, and…
Trusting God Through Every Trial
Acts 28:1-16 Paul and his companions were shipwrecked on the island of Malta around 58 AD, but all survived. Despite cold and rain, the locals showed kindness by building a fire. As Paul helped, a viper bit him. The locals assumed he was a criminal being punished by fate, but when he remained unharmed, they changed their minds and called him a god. This shift highlights how quickly people judge based on appearances. The lesson drawn is to avoid snap…
Trial before Felix
Acts 24:1-27 Paul is transferred to Governor Felix in Caesarea due to a plot against his life in Jerusalem. Five days later, his accusers arrive. Accusation by Tertullus (the Jewish prosecutor): Flattering Felix falsely, claiming peace and prosperity under his rule. Accuses Paul of being: A “plague” (spreading the gospel). An instigator of unrest among Jews. A ringleader of the “sect of the Nazarenes” (early Christians). Claims Paul tried to profane the temple—an unproven and false charge. Paul’s Defense: Calmly…
Paul’s Ministry in Ephesus
Paul arrives in Ephesus during his third missionary journey. Instead of starting new churches, he strengthens existing ones, particularly in Ephesus, where he ministers longer than anywhere else. He meets a group of disciples who had only received John’s baptism and hadn’t heard of the Holy Spirit. Paul explains the full gospel, baptizes them in Jesus’ name, and they receive the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues and prophesying. This brings up the debated issue of the Baptism of the Holy…
Paul’s First Missionary Journey
While they were spending time with God and fasting, God specifically called for Saul and Barnabas to do a special work for Him Acts 1:8 : “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” They set out on their journey to the Ends of the Earth by sailing to Cyprus.John Mark accompanied them.…
Lying to the Holy Spirit
Acts 5:1-17 In the context of great power being on the apostles and great grace on the church, people were selling property and bringing the proceeds to the apostles. It was a wonderful time But the devil hates the church, and was working against it both through external persecution and internal discord. Ananias and Sophira sold their land, but secretly kept part of the proceeds, and brought it to the apostles as if it was the whole amount. Ananias dropped…
The Second Sermon
Acts 3:11-26 The lame man, having been healed through faith in the name of Jesus Christ was free at last. Are we crippled in our life trough fear, remorse, sin, anger?We too can be freed through Jesus. The people in the crowd were staring at Peter and John in amazement at this miraculous healing. Peter explained that Jesus, whom they had crucified, had healed the lame mam The crowd knew about Jesus, but didn’t know Him personally. Peter took this…
