The 20 Sins of 26 | What "Normal" Sin Is Choking Your Faith?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Are we tolerating sins today that God’s Word explicitly warns us against?
In Part 1 of our "Ascend" series, Pastor Josh addresses 20 modern-day sins and cultural compromises that keep us from standing in God's holy presence. From doomscrolling, consumerism, and astrology to unforgiveness, gossip, and political idolatry.
Drawing from Psalm 24:3–4, 1 Corinthians 6, Galatians 5, and Acts 2, this message is an urgent wake-up call to stop asking "Am I a good person?" and start asking "Am I a holy person?" God is calling His Church to aggressive, daily repentance, turning away from cultural idols and turning back to Him with clean hands and a pure heart.
