Sermon clips from Albemarle churches

43s
“You get all that food. Right? And they have the flimsiest paper plates you've ever seen. So I just described your family. I know. You start pounding all that food on there, and you can't carry it with one hand. Right? He's saying James is saying this, please take heed that some of you are in a place where God is heaping blessings on your life, and the blessings are good. That turkey, especially if it's deep fried, is good. it is on a flimsy foundation, and it cannot be held.”
75s
“Grace does not excuse compromise, but grace gives power to come out of it. Grace will give you the power to overcome it. Compromise in scripture usually begins small. You listen to the wrong voice, justifying partial obedience, yielding to pressure, but it often leads to a larger consequence at the same time, God's grace is seen in restoration like Peter. He's just showing you failure don't have to be the end. Just because you miss it don't mean that's the end. He'll restore you. You don't have to be perfect, but you must be committed. Lord, I'm all in. Whatever you tell me to do, I I I I I'm gonna do it. Wherever you want me to go, whatever you want me to say.”
62s
#TriumphByGrace
“By his grace, we are able to triumph over every evil and to live no longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again. Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your name.”
32s
#LampOfHope
“The apostle Peter tells us in our second reading that not only is the story of the transfiguration of Jesus true, but this story is like a lamp shining in a dark place, he says. And so Peter says it's worth paying attention to until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. The day will dawn on the last day when Jesus returns in glory to judge the living and the dead.”
39s
#SorrowForTheLost
“Paul is writing again, Romans nine one, I am speaking the truth in Christ. I am not lying. My conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. So don't miss the play on words of being cut off from Christ, but also being accursed, anathema, anathema opposed to the covenants being cut off.”
61s
#GodsMoneyNotMine
“This is not our money. It's God's money. And I want this for you so badly because I want you to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus. More than more than this church wants a dime out of your account. I want you to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus. Trusting God, this is an emotional thing, and it's high stakes. See, this series, Broke and Blessed, is not about it's not about getting your money. It's about God getting your heart. And if it was just about getting your money, quite honestly, we would just have some kind of manipulative thing for you to just give to a goal or something in the middle of it. And I we can't do that. We the holy spirit has to talk to you about This is not a manipulation. This is not a a a strong arming of anything. Jesus said it where where where your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be. And if we're gonna say Jesus is lord of all, then we have to settle the money issue.”
40s
#NotJustFood
“But in our text this morning, it tells us that the manna ceased. There was no warning, no explanation. It just stopped. And I believe that line of text desire deserves a little more attention than we usually get it because we tend to read this a little too quickly. You see, when most of us read this passage, we often bring our assumptions with us. We assume this is just about food. But manna was not just about food. It was daily evidence that god was carrying them. Amen.”
31s
#SavedAndCalled
“Instead, it's completely the opposite. It's because God loves you and saves you, God calls you into relationship with himself and with one another, and that the 10 commandments are about how we have that relationship with God and a relationship with one another in community. But but I needed a Spanish assistant. So I've been doing Duolingo in Spanish for a few weeks. I am really progressing greatly in Duolingo. I've learned a lot.”
26s
#WhoWillExperienceChristsLove
“So once again, I want you to write down this question because this is the important one for the week. Who will experience Christ's love because of you? Who will experience Christ's love because of you? Not some theory, not some abstraction somewhere, but actually in real human action.”
44s
“The point here is that money makes a terrible savior. Now let me just say this real quick, and we'll move on. Not a trick question. Is life easier when you have enough money? Yes. So James is not saying, if you really love Jesus, you'll never be concerned about money. He's not saying that at all, and I'm not saying that. Some of you are sitting here today, and you are really concerned about money. And he takes that seriously. He's not shaming you because you're thinking about your balance. Right? What he's saying is, what are you attached to? Where is your security?”
