Not forgiving others is a voluntary form of suffering and refusing to forgive, over time, does damage to our souls

We can choose to hold onto an offense, or we can choose to forgive

There are four components to forgiveness: forgiving others, asking for forgiveness, forgiving ourselves, forgiving a false idea of who God is

We were created by a God who is in pursuit of His creation

Segment 1

• Sanctification isn’t “just stop it” — it’s put off and put on (Eph 4:22-24).

• True change means replacing sin with Spirit-driven habits.

• If you’re dry, bitter, or hurting — don’t wait to feel it; start doing what grows desire.

Segment 2 – The Math of Holiness

• Dr. Greg Gifford explains the biblical equation: Put off + Put on = Growth.

• Sanctification isn’t just subtraction alone; holiness must also be put on.

• Lasting change happens when obedience fills the space sin used to occupy.

Segment 3 – The Trojan Horse in Your Church

• “Contextualization” can smuggle worldliness into worship.

• The church loses it’s unique purpose as salt and light when it trades truth for relatability.

• Baby-talk preaching creates baby-faith Christians.

Segment 4

• Paul’s “all things” meant removing cultural barriers, not rewriting the gospel.

• Contextualization becomes compromise when it reshapes truth to fit culture.

• Faithful preaching feeds sheep, not the world.

When reading about artifacts and documents from Bible times, watch for the similarities and differences. You might recognize names, places, or events from the Bible. Some of the myths, like flood or creation myths, may even sound familiar because the true account is recorded in the Bible.

But note the differences. The Bible doesn’t portray events as if they’re myths. It uses historical narrative. Unlike other ancient sources, the Bible presents one true God, the Creator. And in the Bible, God is the source of power, but in other documents, the gods are controlled by magic.

The Bible is different because its author is God.

Sermon Overview

Scripture Passage: 1 Timothy 6:20

Christians believe in special creation, the fact that God created man in His own image, as evident in the Book of Genesis.

However, there is another school of thought that contradicts this belief: the theory of Evolution. It is the theory that we are simply creatures of accident; that men have evolved from a speck of protoplasm and green algae, first as a worm, then as a fish, an amphibian, a reptile, a bird, a mammal, and then finally we evolved into man.

The equation of evolution goes as follows: Nothing + Time + Chance = Everything. It’s a fairytale for adults, a philosophy that poses as a scientific fact.

There are three reasons to reject evolution:

Logic. Evolutionists have no explanation for the origin of life or fixity of species. They cannot explain how certain properties exist that have nothing to do with the survival of the fittest. Where does music come from? Love? The evolutionist has no answer.

Morality. If there is no God, if man is an accident, there can be no Ten Commandments, therefore no fixed standard of right and wrong. Adrian Rogers explains the danger of discrediting morality for the sake of evolution: “When we teach our children that they’ve come from animals, they will begin to live and act like animals.”

Theology. If evolution is true, there was no Garden of Eden, there was no original sin, no depravity. And then man, as Adrian Rogers says, “doesn’t need a birth from above; he just needs a boost from below.”

There’s something wicked behind this whole idea of evolution. Aldous Huxley, acclaimed evolutionist, states his own bias against creationism: “I had motives for not wanting the world to have a meaning…” This translates to: “I chose evolution to shut the mouths of those who believe in special creation.”

But you are not an accident. You are a special creation, made in the image of God. And you are precious to Him. May we become the people we were created to be.

Apply it to your life

Evolution is not a fact. It is a manmade philosophy to justify rebellion against the Creator of the Universe. Reject this ideology today, and chose instead to thank God that you have been beautifully and wonderfully made in His image.
