Hitting the Mark

Sermonette by Bill Onisick

One definition of sin is 'missing the mark,' as hamartia denotes. Unless our righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees, we have failed to reach our goal.


Sin And Overcoming (Part 1): If Anyone Sins!

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

We are obligated to uphold a higher standard of morality, responsible for the letter and spirit of the law, as well as the prompts of our consciences.


Elements of Judgment (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)

None of God's law has been 'done away', though there is not always a literal application. Not every law of God has the same weight of importance.


Forms vs. Spirituality (Part 1)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Love, justice, mercy, and fidelity (the weightier matters of the law) God desires more than meticulous, mechanical religiosity.


Conscience (Part 3)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Lawful behavior with a wrong attitude, motivated by pride, displaying lack of sensitivity to others or lack of wisdom, also constitutes sin.
