Wrestling with Sin

In this sermon, Mark Trinkl explores the concept of sin and how it affects all people. He begins by defining sin as missing the mark of God's perfect standard, referencing Galatians 5:19-20 for examples of sinful behavior. Trinkl emphasizes three main points: the reality of sin, our relationship with sin, and the remedy for sin.

Trinkl explains that sin affects everyone and has been present since the beginning of humanity, citing Romans 3:23, "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard." He describes our relationship with sin as threefold: sin done by us, to us, and around us. Using the analogy of an iceberg, Trinkl illustrates the depths of sin in our lives, from blatant sins to deep-seated structures of being.

The sermon concludes with hope, presenting Jesus Christ as the remedy for sin. Trinkl references Romans 6:23, stating, "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." He encourages listeners to walk in the light of God, confess their sins, and experience the freedom and fullness found in Christ.
