TODAY'S MESSAGE SERMON: ARE YOU CELEBRATING EVILS? – STOP IT. Many people no longer fear evil—they applaud it. What once made people ashamed now gets likes, laughter, applause, and promotion. Sin is now entertainment. Wickedness is now celebrated. Deception is called smartness. Immorality is called freedom. Pride is called confidence. But hear this truth: What you celebrate, you empower. What you tolerate, you invite. What you applaud can one day destroy you. God is asking today: Are you celebrating evils? Stop it! Key Bible Verses Isaiah 5:20 > “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil...” This means danger comes when society loses moral direction and starts praising wrong things. Romans 1:32 > “...They not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” God warns not only against doing evil, but approving evil. Psalm 1:1 > “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly...” Blessing begins when you separate from corrupt influence. 4 Signs You May Be Celebrating Evil 1. When Sin Becomes Entertainment If lies, sexual immorality, mockery, drunkenness, violence, and wickedness entertain you, your conscience is weakening. Many laugh at what heaven weeps over. 2. When Wrong People Become Your Heroes Be careful who you admire. If you celebrate people only for money, fame, or bold rebellion against God, you may be learning darkness. 3. When You Defend What God Condemns Some people say, “Everybody does it.” No. Majority does not make evil right. 4. When You Join Mockery Against the Righteous When people insult holiness, prayer, purity, church, or godly living—and you join them—you are siding with darkness. Biblical Case Study: Herod’s Evil Celebration In Mark 6, Herod celebrated with dancing and pride. In the middle of celebration, he ordered the death of John the Baptist. A party became a platform for wickedness. Not every celebration is blessed. Some celebrations are gateways to destruction. Practical Action Steps 1. Audit what you watch, laugh at, repost, and support. 2. Unfollow voices normalizing evil. 3. Replace toxic content with godly content. 4. Celebrate righteousness, kindness, truth, purity. 5. Ask God to restore your conscience. Deep Spiritual Insight Satan rarely begins with action. He begins with acceptance. First you laugh at sin. Then you tolerate sin. Then you practice sin. Then sin rules you. Stop it early. Questions for Reflection 1. What do I celebrate that displeases God? 2. Have I normalized what once convicted me? 3. Who is influencing my values? 4. Am I helping darkness grow? Powerful Prayer Points 1. Father, cleanse my heart from hidden love for evil. 2. Lord, restore my spiritual sensitivity. 3. Every evil influence around me, break now. 4. Give me courage to stand for righteousness. 5. Let my life celebrate truth and holiness. Closing Call to Action Do not clap for what can curse your future. Do not celebrate what Jesus died to save you from. Today, choose light over darkness, truth over deception, holiness over corruption. If it is evil—stop celebrating it. If you have not given your life to Jesus kindly do so by joining a Bible believing Church.
