The Example of Sodom

Jude says God set forth Sodom and Gomorrah “as an example” of His holy wrath against unrepentant sin. In this message, Pastor Marc walks through Scripture to show why that ancient judgment still warns our world—and the church—today. From pride and materialism to sexual perversion (Jude 1:7; Ezek. 16:49–50), Sodom’s sins “cried out” to heaven (Gen. 18:20). Archaeology even points to a sudden, fiery destruction in the region—yet the greater point is spiritual: God does not change (Mal. 3:6; Heb. 13:8).

Takeaways

God’s example stands to warn the ungodly and awaken compromised believers.

Intercessory prayer matters—God “remembered Abraham.”

Christ’s return will come amid ordinary life; now is the time to repent and live holy.
