Dive into a transformative journey with Dr. Mike Decker, Lead Pastor of Palm Harvest Church in Costa Mesa, California, in this compelling sermon series, The Seven Deadly Sins vs. Seven Life-Giving Virtues. Rooted in James 4 and drawing from centuries of Christian wisdom—from Evagrius Ponticus to Thomas Aquinas—this series explores how pride, envy, gluttony, anger, lust, laziness, and greed wreak havoc in our personal, relational, and spiritual lives. But there’s good news: through God’s grace, we can overcome these sins by embracing humility, gratitude, temperance, patience, chastity, diligence, and generosity. Each episode unpacks one sin and its corresponding virtue, offering practical, Bible-based insights to help you defeat destructive patterns and cultivate a flourishing life.
