Why We Preach

We preach because "Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)

The Dangers of Comparison

Scripture: Luke 18:9-14


I want you to take a moment and think about what sin you’re really glad you don’t do or haven’t done.

Now, I’m going to guess at least a few of you are glad you’ve never killed someone. Because surely that is the worst possible thing you could do. We do that, don’t we? To try and justify our actions? “Well, at least I didn’t kill anybody…how bad could what I did have been?”

Well – guess what? Moses was a murderer. Samson was a murderer. David was a murderer. Paul was a murderer…

Hmmm… oops?
