Uncovering the Real Smell of Sin (March 28)

Description: Jesus was intentional when He talked about sin, and He quite often mentioned sin with forgiveness. The parables give us a clear view of how Jesus perceives sin, and in digging into the original cultural context, we can find parallels to what they might look like in our society. When we sin, we aren’t just breaking the rules—we’re insulting and betraying our Father.

The Smell of Sin
Series Description: An old man saws through his right ankle. A smooth-skinned boy lies to his father's face. Fetid tombs, harsh slavery, fatal choking . . . these images come right from the words of Jesus! They are word pictures Jesus asks us to imagine. But why? Why did Jesus paint such vivid pictures when he talked about sin? And why did he make them so sobering--and downright gory at times? In The Smell of Sin, Don Everts seriously tackles these stark images, coming face to face with Jesus' clear, graphic theology of sin. It's a view of sin that might make you uncomfortable. But a collision with this hard truth may be just what you need.
