Descent into Darkness

A three-part expository sermon series on how to combat the spiritual drag of idolatry, temptation, and trial.

by: Bill White

Sermon 1: Life "Under the Sun": May Your Darkness Become Unbearable
Subject: The hopelessness of alternatives to God
Big Idea: Ecclesiastes takes us through different alternatives to God—pleasure, wealth, achievement—and shows them for the meaningless darkness that they truly are.
Text: Ecclesiastes 1–12

Sermon 2: The Downward Spiral: Cain and Abel at the Guggenheim
Subject: Escaping temptation
Big Idea: For Cain (and for us) there is an exit on every level of temptation, and we need to see the exit and take it.
Text: Genesis 4:1–10

Sermon 3: Embracing the Grinder: Letting the Wilderness Shape You
Subject: Letting trials shape our character
Big Idea: We think of trials as situations that we want to be rid of as quickly as possible, but God often uses them as seasons to refine our character.
Text: Exodus 17:1–7
