There are two mp3 sermons below that treat the things God hates; sermon content is very useful for the Christian who is striving to walk rightly before God.
The sermons are by Allen Huber of Grace Reformed Baptist church of Rockford Ill.
Pro 6:16 There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him:
Pro 6:17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Pro 6:18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil,
Pro 6:19 a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers. (ESV)
Mp3 sermon 1 highlights:
What these verses say about sin in general
A Christian’s goal should be to please God with his life; his new nature moves him in that direction
If we love God and our neighbor, then we will hate these things too
Haughty Eyes; pride, the first sin…: an explanation of the sin of pride
Godliness: when we display God’s character in our lives, imitating Him
Anger, how it can be a manifestation of pride
Pride, the most deceitful sin, how this is so; examples: 1 Peter 5: 5, 6; Proverbs 16:18; 18:12; 22:4; Luke 14:11
How and why God humbled the following biblical characters: Joseph; Pharaoh; Mordechai; Herod; Nebuchadnezzar; Naaman. God always humbles those to whom He gives grace [as is described in the beatitudes by the Lord Jesus Christ]
God’s work in Gideon’s army, Judges 7, that God may be glorified and not man: this theme is threaded throughout scripture
God’s providences humble his children before He uses them: very nice illustration of this truth; particularly, how one should receive afflictions from God
Mp3 sermon 2 highlights:
Things that people do to steal glory from God and exalt themselves
The lying tongue (epistle of James)
Remaining sin
How to use our tongues rightly (bridling our tongue)
