Sermons tagged #Hide

The Lord Jesus taught the crowd how to see false teachers, and God's judgment. They crave being somebody and being honored. (v.38-39 and 40b) They use religion to hide their greed, and their taking advantage of others. (v.40a) They will receive God's judgment, which we all deserve. (v.40c) What was one of the last topics on which Jesus taught? How are positions to be used? Luke 12:48, Mark 10:44-45 How can we distinguish? Mt. 7:13, 1 Thess. 2:5-6 Why does God judge false teachers severely? Jms 3:1 Mark 9:42-50

To experience greater victory over the flesh, Christians need to learn to "hate even the garment spotted by the flesh."

We all are prone to hide from God or at least we think we are. Psalm 139 gives us both incentive not to and knowledge why trying to makes no sense. Why should we stop hiding from God? 1) God knows the real you. 2) God sees your sin. 3) God loves to show mercy.

This is the condemnation - this is why most of the human race will perish in the lake of fire forever: that light is come into the world, and men rejected it. Men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. Men love darkness and HATE the light, so they flee from it. That is why it is so hard to get them to come to church, or to listen to a sermon. Every man will give account to God, not only for what he knew and rejected, but what he could have known and avoided on purpose.

New Heart, New Spirit_24 Ezekiel 28:1-26The King of Tyre and the CHERUBIM.No matter how exalted our position is in life, each of us will one day stand before God and give an account for what we have done. Those of us who trust Christ, obey God's holy commandments, and live a righteous life will receive the richest rewards imaginable. But those who reject Christ, disobey God, and live evil lives will face His terrifying judgment.God pronounced His coming judgment on the ruler (prince) of Tyre. In the former two chapters, God pronounced judgment on the great but corrupted city of Tyre.Now He speaks directly to the ruler of Tyre, pronouncing that a very special judgment is reserved for him. Opinions differ as to whether this ruler was Ittobaal II or Ittobaal III. The ruler of Tyre faced the judgment of God because of his sinful pride, self-sufficiency, and claim to be a god. He boasted of his superior intelligence and wisdom, exalting himself above others. Ezekiel pronounced God's coming judgment upon the city of Sidon. Sidon and Tyre were considered sister cities. Throughout Scripture, the two are always mentioned together. Every act of sin, ranging all the way from an immoral thought to murder, is the result of the depravity of our human nature, the temptation of the devil, or both. Satan seeks to control both nations and people. He does this by enticing people to sin, to cut the heart of God by disobeying His holy commandments. God warns us to guard against the temptations of the devil and to resist all evil.

Run, Cover Up, Work. There are better options for our relationship with God. Be challenged and encouraged in this eye opening message from Jeremiah.

The Confidence of Trust The Countenance of Trust The Confession of Trust

The wrath of God is revealed from heaven when it comes to certain kinds of people, particularly those who hold the truth in unrighteousness. These are those who hear and understand the truth and not only refuse to obey it themselves, but try to hide it from others. These people are the devil's right hand and deserve the lowest place in hell, and there are more of this kind of people than most people realize.

Proving the faithfulness of our God How is the Lord's faithfulness manifested? The unsearchable ways of God - v 3, 4, 6 The unfolding Will of God - v 2, 8 The unfailing Word - v 5, 6, 10, 16, Isaiah ch 48 v 17

We look at three ways man want to hide his sin from. If you say.....

The Temptation to Test God. Deut. 6:16-25;Matt. 4:5-7 The second temptation of Christ was to prove His deity by the spectacular. The devil tempted Christ to prove that He was the Son of God by doing two more acts.Christ was tempted to test God. He was tempted to do the spectacular. He was to jump off the towering pinnacle of the temple and let God send His angels to catch Him in mid-air and lift Him gently to the ground. Since He was God's only Son, God would certainly bear Him up so the devil reasoned.Christ was tempted to attract attention by the spectacular. The worshippers at the temple, seeing such a spectacular event, would accept and proclaim Him to be the Son of God.God is not to be tested. His will, His power, His protection, His promises are not to be presumed upon or taken advantage of or misused. God is not to be tested or tried; God is to be trusted. His will and His Word are to be trusted and obeyed just as they are laid down; all things are to be done exactly as He says.God is to be trusted, not the spectacular. God wants men to believe Him because they love Him as their Father, not because of events and happenings, whether they be spectacular or commonplace.Believers are often tempted the same as Christ.They are tempted to test God, to lay hold of some Biblical promise and take it out of context, to misuse and misapply it. The motive is sometimes good, for the believer wishes to do great things for God.We must always remember that God does give us great promises. But we must stay close to God (meditation and prayer) and stay in His Word in order to rightly understand His promises. This alone will keep us from misusing and misapplying His promises.

The doctrine of 'progressive sanctification' teaches us to mortify the flesh while we are here on this earth. What does 'mortification' look like?

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
