🧭 Sermon Outline

1️⃣ REBRANDING SIN DOESN’T CHANGE ITS STENCH

• Scripture: Romans 1:24-25 – “They exchanged the truth of God for the lie…”

• Illustration: Putting perfume on a pig doesn’t make it a prize-winning poodle.

• Point: Society’s labels change, but God's Word stays the same. Sin is still sin — even if it comes with a hashtag and a pride flag.

  
  

2️⃣ "TOLERANCE" IS THE NEW IDOL — AND IT DEMANDS SACRIFICE

• Scripture: Daniel 3:16-18 – “We will not bow…”

• Illustration: Nebuchadnezzar built a golden image; today’s culture builds golden ideologies.

• Point: The world doesn’t want coexistence — it wants compliance. But God’s people don’t bow to idols, even if they’re trending.

  
  

3️⃣ THE LAST DAYS WON’T LOOK LIKE A MOVIE — THEY’LL LOOK LIKE RIGHT NOW

• Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:1-5 – “In the last days perilous times will come…”

• Illustration: Like frogs in the pot — the temperature rises while folks smile, post selfies, and ignore the boil.

• Point: If you’re waiting for some big sign, friend — you're already standing in it.

  
  

4️⃣ GOD’S MERCY HAS AN EXPIRATION DATE

• Scripture: Genesis 6:3 – “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever…”

• Illustration: Noah’s hammer was a warning — until the first drop of rain fell.

• Point: Mercy is real — but so is judgment. And one day, God will close the door Himself.

  
  

💥 Closing Charge:

"Church, don’t cheer for what God condemns. Don’t go quiet when the world goes loud. And don’t ever mistake rebellion for progress.”

🙏 Altar Call:

“Are you walking with the world or standing with the Word? The flood of false truth is rising — come stand on the Rock before it’s too late.”
