Seven Deadly Sins: Week 8 > Pride

Admin — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 15:27:52 +0000

God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble, because God is opposed to anyone receiving worship instead of him. Pride is a kind of self-worship, where we put ourselves on the throne of our own hearts and, like the devil, we declare, “I will make myself like the Most High God.” In this final installment in the Seven Deadly Sins series, Pastor Derek explains that humility is the remedy for the sin of pride.

The seven deadly sins are decidedly deadly because living with these sins is not life the way it ought to be. Envy keeps us from life as it ought to be because it “rots the bones.” Envy causes us to wish our lives away and it infects our relationships with the disease of death.

Wrath is the first of the deadly sins that deserves an asterisk, because there is a good anger and a bad anger. God himself gets angry and demonstrates his wrath. He is justified in his wrath, but how do we know we are justified in our wrath? In this message, Pastor Derek describes the key issues–motive, duration, and action–that determine whether anger is sinful or not.

It would seem that over-activity would lead to more sins than the passivity we see in sloth. However, the sullen indifference of sloth may be the most seductive sin in the list of seven deadly sins. In this message, Pastor Derek discusses how sloth turns faith into doubt, hope into despair, and love into cynicism.

While the world believes, He who dies with the most toys wins, the truth is He who dies with the most toys sins. Greed has little to do with amount of money in your pocket. It is a disease that lives in your heart. Pastor Derek explains from two important Bible passages why greed is indeed a deadly sin.

Seven Deadly Sins: Week 1 > What is so deadly about sin?

Admin — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 18:37:03 +0000

Living life on our own terms free from God’s control and input is not freedom. It is slavery, because the payment for sin is always death of some kind. In this introductory message, Pastor Derek talks about the nature of sin and it’s deadly effects.Â The seven deadly sins are themselves deadly because they are the root of so many other sins.
