Transgression on SermonAudio

The sermon explores the theological concept of substitutionary atonement by contrasting the release of the criminal Barabbas with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It argues that believers were once captive to sin and Satan, much like Barabbas was a prisoner awaiting death, but Christ voluntarily took their place to satisfy God's justice. The message emphasizes that Jesus, who knew no sin, bore the...

Micah 1:5-13 (KJV) For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem? 6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundati...

In this overview of Amos, part of his Sunday evening series through the Minor Prophets, Charles Sebold introduces the herdsman and dresser of sycamore figs from Tekoa as "the fruit inspector": a poor migrant laborer from Judah whom the LORD took and sent north to Bethel around 760 to 750 BC, just before Assyria swept the northern kingdom away. Picking up Joel's line, "The LORD roars from Zion," Am...

The story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 42 is a picture of the sinner's encounter with Christ. Joseph's initial rough treatment and accusations serve to break down the brothers' self-righteousness and force them to confront their hidden guilt, just as the word of God and the Holy Spirit convict an unconverted person of their sin. Jesus taught that true salvation requires a good and honest...

As we discuss that IS and is NOT the "word of faith", we discuss obtaining the righteousness of Christ and how that cannot be accomplished by subterranean or interstellar space travel (and how the modern tech and "transhumanist" movements are attempting to do just that!). What does it mean to "call on the name of the Lord"? Also Reference: 2 Corinthians 5:21, James 2:10, Isaiah 28:16, Proverbs 4:2...

This sermon examines Chapter 6 of the Westminster Confession of Faith, focusing on the doctrine of the fall of man and the nature of original sin. It explores how Adam and Eve's disobedience resulted in the loss of original righteousness and communion with God, leading to a state of total depravity that affects all humanity. The teaching emphasizes that the guilt of Adam's sin is imputed to his de...

Leviticus Chapter 16 15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: 16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgres...

The sermon explores the theological principle that God is the sovereign agent behind both the blessings and the hardships in a believer's life, emphasizing that afflictions are often just responses to unrepentant sin. Drawing from 2 Chronicles, Proverbs, and Daniel, the message argues that acknowledging God's hand in one's suffering is the necessary precursor to receiving His forgiveness and resto...

Genuine faith in God produces authentic delight in God alone!

This sermon examines the theological weight of individual transgressions by analyzing James 2, arguing that there is no such thing as a 'little sin' because breaking one point of the law renders a person guilty of the whole. The message highlights the hypocrisy of showing partiality to the wealthy while despising the poor, identifying this behavior as a form of blasphemy that violates the royal la...

Grab your Bible and join us from the Chatham Transition Ministry weekly study. Today we learned the effects of Adam's sin. Adam spiritually died. His act of sin was imputed to all his posterity. Every human being has also inherited a sinful nature, which expresses itself constantly under the reigning power of sin. Our first parents fell from original righteousness and communion with God; the guilt...

Apostle John, after pointing to the necessity of hope of seeing Christ motivate a life of active purity (3). Like Thomas Watson asserted. Who that "Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet," John reminds the believers, that though society might redefine what sin is, Christians should have a clear biblical definition of sin (4). In using biblical vocabularies define sin: as transgression agains...

Today's Sunday School examines the theological nuances of the Fall as described in Chapter 6 of the Confession of Faith, focusing on the distinct roles of Satan, humanity, and God. It argues that Adam's transgression was a willful act committed without compulsion or excuse, rooted in a prior internal violation of the law of nature rather than merely the external breach of a positive command. By dr...

Psalm 32 declares the blessedness of the one whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is covered, as David contrasts the crushing misery of concealed guilt with the relief, instruction, and steadfast love that come when sin is confessed and the LORD is trusted.

The little horn introduced in Daniel 7:8, is different from that one. This one emerges from one of the four horns. He succeeds the four divisions of Alexander's kingdom. This little horn is not the Antichrist of the end times although the two of them have similar activities and hatred of Israel. This one conquers Egypt, Persia, and then invades which is, Israel here spoken of as the "pleasant land...

The sermon examines Genesis 20 to explore the nature of repeated sin, identifying fear of man and self-justification as primary drivers for believers who struggle with habitual transgressions. While Abraham's deception is highlighted, the text emphasizes Abimelech's innocence, defined by an integrity of heart and clean hands, which contrasts with the deceitfulness of the human heart. The narrative...

This sermon explores the profound nature of God's mercy as depicted in Psalm 103, emphasizing that His compassion is abundant, intrinsic to His character, and superior to human sin. The message highlights that God's forgiveness is complete, removing the guilt and shame of transgressions as far as the east is from the west, thereby freeing believers from the burden of past failures. It further asse...

This sermon expounds on Isaiah 53 as the foundational gospel text for the Lord's Supper, presenting the Suffering Servant as the divine deliverer who came in humility to secure eternal salvation.

God is NEVER limited in what can be accomplished when we give HIM the glory!

This sermon examines James 2:5-9 to address the sin of partiality within the church, arguing that favoring the wealthy while disregarding the poor violates God's impartial character. The text highlights that God chooses the poor to be rich in faith, contrasting divine grace with the worldly tendency of the rich to oppress and blaspheme. By defining the 'royal law' as the command to love one's neig...

For four sessions we argued the case that the Christ is Jesus; in this final session we stop arguing and simply look, because there is a difference between examining a diamond's certificate and turning the diamond in the light. The chapter we turn is Isaiah 53, written seven centuries before Bethlehem, and we walk it slowly, stanza by stanza: the Servant God introduces, the Servant despised, the S...
