In Mark 10 Jesus teaches about Divorce.

God delights in truth in the hidden depths of our heart. 3 paradoxes about lying: *One lie always leads to another *The liar lies to noone more than himself *Covering up sin always leads to exposure, Exposing sin leads to it being blotted out.

The sermon examines Jeremiah chapter three to illustrate God's relentless pursuit of His people despite their persistent backsliding and spiritual adultery. The preacher contrasts the righteous reign of King Josiah with the unrepentant hearts of the people, emphasizing that national leadership does not guarantee personal righteousness. Key themes include the definition of true repentance as a change in behavior rather than mere emotion, the severity of sin, and the profound depth of God's mercy which invites return without immediate condemnation. The message concludes by highlighting the Trinitarian conversation in verse nineteen, where the Father and Son collaborate to bring Israel into a covenant relationship through Christ's sacrificial work.

One of the besetting sins of our generation is adultery. Believers are urged to avoid it at all costs.

The sword of the Lord! Oholah and Oholibah (Israel and Judah): Who was worse? Spiritual adultery that eventually spread to all the tribes.

Because Jesus empowers us to stop, we are commanded to do whatever it takes to stop committing adultery of the heart. 1. Adultery is not merely a sin of the body, but of the heart. (v.27-28) 2. Adultery of the heart is more dangerous than losing a body part. (v.29-30) 3. Adultery of the heart affects our own life/marriage and other marriages (v.31-32). Heb. 13:4, Rom. 5:20 Follow up discussion questions: 1. What is the will of God for each of us and our spouse? 1 Thess. 4:3-8 2. Are we enslaved? To what? How? Rom. 6:16-22. 3. Since we should not commit adultery, what should we do? Col. 3:9-10

The sermon interprets Revelation 18 as a declaration of the inevitable collapse of Babylon, symbolizing any world system organized in rebellion against God. Drawing parallels between ancient Babel and modern culture, it identifies Babylon's core sin as prideful self-exaltation and spiritual adultery with the beast. The central message urges believers to separate themselves from this corrupt system by refusing compromise and pursuing personal holiness. It contrasts the heavy burden of Babylon's sins with the grace of Christ, who forgives the transgressions of His people. Ultimately, the preacher calls for urgent repentance and faith in Jesus Christ to escape impending divine judgment.

The sermon examines the spiritual danger of double-mindedness, defined as a divided heart that seeks to serve both God and the world. Drawing primarily from James 1 and 4, the text identifies this condition as an impure heart that hinders prayer and creates hostility toward God. The preacher contrasts insincere believers, who tolerate sin and lack genuine desire for holiness, with those single-mindedly pursuing the knowledge of God's will. Key indicators of insincerity include boredom in worship, rationalization of sin, and inconsistency between public faith and private life. The remedy offered is to humble oneself, mourn over spiritual adultery, and purify the heart to restore a sincere, undivided devotion to Christ.
