Tom Claibourne's sermon preached on August 29th, 2021 at Bethlehem Church of Christ in Winchester, Ohio.

Outline:

I. Some walls are NECESSARY and GOOD.

     They are necessary because of SIN.

     A. PHYSICAL protection. (Ps. 122:6-7)

     B. MORAL protection. (Jer. 1:17-18)

II. Some walls need to be TORN DOWN. (Eph. 2:13-18)

     Keys: TRUTH, JUSTICE & LOVE.

     A. Walls of HATRED. (Matt. 5:43-48)

     B. Walls of EXCLUSION. (Gen. 3:20; 9:18-19; 10:32; Acts 17:26)

     C. Walls of ISOLATION. (I Thess. 2:8; II Cor. 6:11-13)

     D. The wall of SIN. (Eph. 2:11-13; Gal. 3:26-28; Ps. 66:18-19)

           (Jesus' part and our part in that process)

III. No walls are TOO BIG for God. (Jer. 32:17, 26-27: 51:58: Josh. 6; Eph. 2:12-14)

I want to TRUST and FOLLOW Jesus when facing the walls of life.
