“Paraphrase of temptation and sin: 'every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust... Sin, when lust has been conceived, it brings forth sin, and when it is finished, it brings forth death.'”
A sermon warning believers about Lucifer's deceptive tactics — his ability to masquerade as an angel of light and use fleshly conduits (media, relationships, desires) to blind people ('eyes wide shut'). The preacher explains biblical examples (Paul's warnings, Ephesians 6, Genesis 3), exposes practical conduits of deception, and exhorts the congregation to prayer, Scripture, vigilance, and repentance.
“Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lusts. When lusts have conceived, it brings forth sin; and when sin is finished, it brings forth death.”
A first sermon in a series called "The Luciferian Affect" using Ezekiel 28 as a dualistic portrait (king of Tyre and Lucifer) to explain Satan's character, tactics, and how believers are affected — concluding with practical warnings and a call to trust Scripture, repent, and remain vigilant.
“sin in our life really is only there when we are drawn out of our own lusts... And sin, when it's fully conceived, brings death.”
Executive Pastor Banks preaches that believers are God’s masterpiece—saved by grace and created for good works—calling listeners to receive God’s purpose, resist the enemy’s deceptions, and respond in faith through obedience, worship, prayer, baptism, and service.
“But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire, when it's conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it's fully grown, gives forth death.”
Sam Gibson preaches that Christians are truly freed from sin through Jesus and offers pastoral, practical guidance for walking in that freedom. He defines sin as missing the mark and primarily as misplaced relational allegiance, contrasts guilt/innocence and honor/shame frameworks, describes sin’s effects (separates, stains, sensitizes, steals, spreads), and gives three concrete practices for sanctification: live in accountable community, break the cycle early (confess desires and temptations), and practice frequent, specific, confident confession grounded in the finished work of Christ.
