The Price of a Little Sin

This sermon delivers a sobering yet pastoral call to examine the hidden cost of unrepentant sin, using biblical examples from Achan, King Saul, Gehazi, Jonah, and the Pharisees to illustrate how even small transgressions can disrupt divine blessing, damage community, and sever spiritual power. Centered on 1 Corinthians 5 and the metaphor of leaven, the message emphasizes that while God's grace is abundant, He takes sin seriously—especially when it undermines holiness, hinders mission, and robs believers of the fullness of His presence. The preacher urges the congregation to respond with humility, repentance, and intentional pursuit of God, warning that unresolved sin can affect not only individuals but families, churches, and even national witness. Ultimately, the sermon invites a personal reckoning, offering hope through Christ's atonement and the invitation to draw near in faith, where restoration and renewed blessing are possible.
