We are studying part of Paul's first missionary journey, as found in Acts 13. Many tried to stop the work of the gospel, but God's word kept being preached. The Gospel always triumphs as God does His work. Man is accountable for his response to the Gospel call.

The sermon examines Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5 to reveal God's severe perspective on sin, emphasizing that it extends beyond physical acts to include lustful intentions and sins of omission. By analyzing the progression from eye to heart to hand, the message illustrates how sin originates within and seeks to dominate every aspect of a believer's life. The preacher argues that understanding the true depravity of the human heart is essential for recognizing the need for Christ's cleansing power. Believers are urged to adopt a radical approach to holiness by confessing sin and actively removing any influences that lead to wrongdoing. Ultimately, victory over sin is achieved not through self-effort but through walking in the Spirit and fixing one's eyes on Jesus.
