Sermon clips from Abilene churches

44s
“And meanwhile, people outside the church are looking at Christians thinking if Jesus changes people, then why do they act like everybody else? If if an unbeliever is fighting in their own house and they see that the church is fighting. They hear about God and they how God can can bring healing and unity and they have like problems with their kids and problem in their marriage. And they wanna try this Jesus thing. And so they start scrolling through social media or YouTube or they wanna go to a church, but then they see that the church is fighting as much as their own house. Why would they go to God's house when they have enough problems in their own house?”

“got it. You you got it. See, the answer, it it's pretty simple. Is the father is greater than Jesus by position, not by nature. The president of The USA, president Biden is greater than all of you by a matter of position. Is he better by nature? See, to say better is to indicate, you know, a moral difference. You know, that he is made of something better than us. And yet he's a human. We're a human. So, you know, that's that's that's what's interesting is, you know, the father is greater by position, but not better in nature. It's one of those little subtle differences.”
55s
“How about you help them break free from the bondage? Humble yourself. Understand they're attacking you, but they're really being attacked themselves. And God is thinking that you're a big enough person to be able to not just absorb it, but to do something about it. Oh, this is why God calls us to be different. In the world, it's easy. And talk to me like that? Cool. But what if God has assigned you and anointed you and called you to be an agent of change for that person's life? Hurt people hurt people, but what if the opposite is true? Healed people can heal people. Because they're hurting you because they're hurting, but you've been deeply healed by Jesus. You can spot out their hurt and you have enough Jesus in you for them too.”
53s
“And I will say this, and if God has been that patient with us, I think we should probably learn to be patient with other people as well as we all try to figure out this thing called life. From me to the newest person who walked in with the yellow connect bag, we all have stuff we're trying to figure out. Everybody is trying to figure out their relationship with God. Everybody is on this hunt, this journey. Everybody's struggling with something, bound by something, hurt by something, overcoming something, believing for something, have faith for some things and doubt some things. And we're broken and we see each other and we get so angry at times, but I wanna tell you when we lose focus of the mission, we start dividing. But when we put Jesus back at the center, we start uniting and realize that if Jesus died for you, you're good enough for me. And if Jesus died for me, I should be good enough for you.”
48s
“That's when the immune system loses the ability to recognize what belongs to the body and what is actually the enemy. Think about this. The very thing designed to protect the body becomes the thing destroying it. The immune system gets confused. It misidentifies healthy cells as threats, and instead of fighting the infection, it starts fighting itself. Think about this. There's an infection coming fighting its body. It doesn't even attack teams with that. It starts fighting itself, and the enemy loves division because divided bodies become weak bodies. Hear me out. Even medically, autoimmune disease weakens the body's ability to fight real enemies because all the energy is spent fighting itself.”
45s
“but here, you have a man lying to the Holy Spirit. Can you lie to that light socket back there? Does it care? Does it matter? Yet this this matters. Ananias lied to the Holy Spirit. You can only lie to a person. You can't lie to a force. So is this is kind of an important subject because, you know, some people slip and say, you know, the Holy Spirit it. Don't do that. But the holy spirit can also be grieved, but they rebelled and grieved his holy spirit. So he turned himself against them as an enemy, and he fought against them in Isaiah sixty three ten.”
38s
“So it's kinda like, you know, he's holding you, and then God the father's hands comes around and holds you. Does that make you feel secure? That you have two sets of hands keeping you secure? Kind of important. Romans eight thirty four, who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. So not only does Jesus keep us secure, he makes intercession for you. He is your lawyer before God. So he's gonna keep defending you, and he keeps you secure.”
36s
“So Paul is making a point in Galatians and Corinthians that you can make a god out of anything you want. There's as many gods as you could possibly dream of. You can make money your god. You can make power your god. You can make sex your god. You can make a god out of anything, but there's only one god by nature. So that's that's the god we worship. He's he's not. There's any power. Actual power. Yeah. They're not real. Yeah. They're just so called gods. There's only one god by nature. So he is god whether you believe in him or not.”

#PraiseInChains
“``This is like what we would see over in Acts chapter 16 where Paul and Silas were beaten with rods many times, and then they were thrown into the inner cell. So this is the one that was the worst of the worst. They were put in bonds, and then the jailer was surprised because what were they doing? They were in there singing. It's not ordinary behavior either, is it? Or or it's like Stephen when he was being stoned to death and as they were killing him, he prays, Lord, don't lay this sin to their charge and he's busy praying for the other people instead of being concerned with his life coming to an end.”
44s
#FaithPleasesGod
“Where the Bible says that faith, it's impossible to please God without faith. And then he gives two things. You know, some people are hard to please. You may be married to that person. Marriage advice, do not look at your spouse right now. Notice how I averted my eyes from mine. Or it may be your boss. Your boss is hard to please. But you know, God is not. In Hebrews 11 verse number 6, he he tells us plainly the two things that are in that verse. Without faith, it's impossible to please God. So there's the problem. We can't please God apart from faith.”
