Empty Promises: Part 2 by Dr. Rod Mattoon

About this sermon

In PART TWO of this message, we continue to examine the empty promises of this world. We take a look at the promise of popularity and stylishness. Satan told Eve, “You shall be as gods.” We examine seven reasons WHY people crave fame, popularity, or acceptance. We also talk about the fact that fame is fleeting and we list eight reasons WHY fame is fleeting. Why does this happen? We continue and look two other empty promises: The promise of power and superiority and the promise of pleasure and satisfaction. We address two famous people whose lives ended in tragedy. The promises of this world left them empty and eventually dead. This message was preached on Wednesday night, September 10, 2025, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
