Facing Our Biggest Problem: Sin

Sep 6, 2026    Bro. Mike Bentley

What is the single greatest problem facing humanity? We might point to poverty, war, disease, or injustice -- and those are real and serious struggles. But this message challenges us to look deeper, at a problem that underlies all others: sin. Drawing from Romans 6, we are confronted with a truth that is both sobering and liberating. Sin is not just something we do; it is something that enslaves us. The Apostle Paul's words to the Romans are just as urgent for us today. We are not simply forgiven people who happen to still sin -- we are people who have died to sin and been raised to new life. That changes everything about how we should think about our choices and our identity. The message calls us to stop treating sin as normal or expected among those who follow Christ, and to start seeing it for what it truly is: a chain that Christ came to break. If we have been set free, why would we return to what once held us captive?
