Romans 1:29-32

In this sermon on Romans 1:29–32, Pastor Blaine walks through Paul's long list of sins that flow from rejecting God, exposing not just cultural depravity but also the hidden sins of our own hearts. He groups them into sins of the mind, heart, tongue, and actions—ranging from envy, deceit, gossip, and arrogance to murder, ruthlessness, and disobedience to parents—showing that all of us fall under this indictment. Blaine warns against both committing and approving of sin, reminding believers that even passive affirmation or silence can be sinful. He calls the church to confession, repentance, and a resolved fight against sin, not with excuses or victimhood, but with honesty before God, accountability with others, and dependence on the finished work of Christ. Communion, then, becomes a reminder that while we wage war against sin, Jesus has already borne its penalty at the cross, and His blood is stronger than all our corruption.
