SERMON BY: Dr. John Waterloo
SERMON TITLE: The Fatal Flaw
SERMON THEME: The Deadly Danger of Works Religion—Beware Trusting in Things, Position, and Dogma
SERMON SERIES: The Gospel by Mark
SERMON VERSES: Mark 10:17-31; Philippians 3:8
Fatal Flaw 1: All sin is NOT the same - There are different consequences for different sins, in Life, and with God!
Fatal Flaw 2: Cain Religion - insisting that we can serve God OUR way!
* Make sure we possess Christ, and not just profess Christ. Our lifestyle should line up with the teachings of Jesus and His Word. Beware of unbelief
* Beware of the fatal flaws we CAN experience in our own lives. Not every sin is alike; some come with grave and deadly consequences.
* Beware of the lures of this life! The god of this world will tempt us to choose the lusts of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life… instead of repentance and faith. We must be willing to give up everything, for Jesus’ blood-bought salvation. As did Moses, we must esteem the riches of Christ greater than the riches offered by this fallen, dying World.
* When we embrace Jesus in repentance and absolute faith, He will eternally seal us, and bless us now and forever.
Mark 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. 28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, 30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. 31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
