Sermon Title: Bad Company Corrupts

Sermon Passage: Gen 19:1-38

Sermon Big Idea: 

Sodom, while attractive because of its outward beauty and sinful attractions, was deeply corrupt and destructive. In this story, we see God’s power to judge and to save. It serves as a strong warning to those who disregard God’s mercy, and is a powerful encouragement to those who have put their faith in God.

Sermon Points:

  1. Bad company corrupted Lot’s reverence for God (Gen 19:1-11).

  2. Bad company corrupted Lot’s sense of spiritual urgency (Gen 19:12-25).

  3. Bad company had corrupted Lot’s entire family (Gen 19:26-38).
