The Judgment of Sodom: Genesis 19

The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is one of the most glaring accounts of sin and divine judgment in Scripture. This verse-by-verse exposition of Genesis 19 examines a city given over to wickedness and a compromised man who lingered in it. God’s holy wrath against sin cannot be softened; neither can His relentless mercy. Lot was pulled from the fire not by his own merit, but because God remembered His covenant. We address the danger of cultural assimilation, the stark warning of Lot's wife, and the reality that physical rescue does not guarantee a transformed heart. Ultimately, the sulfur and fire of Genesis 19 point us directly to the cross of Christ.Scriptures referenced in this message: Genesis 19:1–38; Genesis 18:20; Genesis 8:1; 2 Peter 2:7–8; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 2:4–5; Luke 17:29–32; Romans 3:23.
