For the last couple of weeks we have been looking at what God really hates about sin. And we found that it is slavery to it that God really hates. It’s what it does to us and not the naughtiness of any act God hates.
And we found that this is why God said of Jacob and…
This is the first time God tells Satan, in front of Adam and Eve, that he will deal with sin. It is in the same chapter as the fall of man. As God is pronouncing the effects of sin upon their lives and the world in which they live, He also provides man a promise and Satan a…
Matthew 14:31-33 (NIV) 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you…

The Bible says death is our enemy. And while that is most certainly true, what I want to do in this message is to look at the role death has played in bringing the ultimate blessing of eternal life to all men.
And something that will help with this…
Seems like an odd statement for Jesus to make doesn’t it? I mean who has ever lived that has not sinned? Doesn’t Paul say in Rom.3:23 that “all have sinned”?
