Confronting The Sins We Tolerate
Respectable sins: Gossip (54 mins)
Joel Johnson preaches on a rarely considered but vitally important topic of gossip. Borrowing from various OT passages from the life of David, he defines what is gossip, why do people gossip, the collateral effect of gossip and how it can be prevented. Finally, Joel very helpfully mentions what is not gossip. This is a critical and often over-looked topic but it’s importance cannot be ignored.

Respectable sins: Doubt and Unbelief (40 mins)
In this sermon, Joel distinguishes the difference between doubt and unbelief. He refers to the life of Abraham in Genesis and how we can learn valuable lessons regarding doubt and faith. He presents doubt as a temptation that we are all subject to, which can result in strengthened faith, or sin – depending on our response. Listen to this sermon to find out more.
Respectable sins: Anger (43 mins)
In this sermon, Joel teaches the biblical view of anger. Many think that anger is a only a bad thing, that Christians should never get angry, and that ‘I’m just an angry person’ is acceptable; there are lots of misconceptions surrounding anger. Instead, we discover that anger can be sinful or righteous. Have a listen to this sermon to learn what the Bible says about anger.
Respectable sins: Lack of self-control (45 mins)
Brother Josh speaks about a struggle that affects many of us: a lack of self-control. He shares from God’s Word how we can understand this challenge and grow in self-discipline through the power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Galatians 5, he reminds us that self-control is not just a personal effort but a fruit of the Spirit. This message encourages us to rely less on willpower and more on our walk with Christ.
Respectable sins: Judgementalism (52 mins)
