🙏Why Jesus Said "Remember Lot’s Wife" (A Warning for Today)

In the middle of teaching about judgment and the coming Kingdom, Jesus gave us this three-word warning (Luke 17:32). But why? Why did a woman who wasn't even mentioned by name in the Old Testament become a focal point for our Savior’s teaching? In today’s sermon, we dive deep into the story of Lot, his family, and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. We explore the tragic moment Lot’s wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of salt—a monument of God’s displeasure that stood for thousands of years as a witness to the dangers of a divided heart. In this message, we discuss: ✨ The Danger of Lingering: Why Lot lost his spiritual influence and why his wife couldn't let go of "the stuff." ✨ A Call to Fathers: The vital importance of leading your family toward Christ and protecting their spiritual health. ✨ Eternal vs. Temporary: Are you laying up treasures in Heaven, or are you owned by your belongings? ✨ The Paradox of Life: How clinging to your old life causes you to lose it, but surrendering to Christ preserves it. As C.T. Studd once wrote: "Only one life, 'twill soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last." Don’t let the world pull your eyes away from the prize. It’s time to stop looking back at Sodom and start looking forward to the Kingdom..
