Sermon clips from Algonac churches

48s
“That your children will reverence the word of God to the same extent you reverence the word of God. Now that should be sobering for many of us when we look at the way that we've prioritized our lives, when we look at the way that we treat God's word, often sentimental that it has some sentimental value, but certainly not as the final word or final authority for all of our decision making. Now there are certain rare examples where god does something special and a child is able to rise above the level of reverence that their mom and dad or grandparents have for the word of god. Maybe some of you have that testimony that your parents didn't reverence the word of god at all, but you do. And praise god for his grace, but that's not normal.”

#WorshipAndWitness
“Go forth worshiping the lord who made you and sustains you. Drink deeply of the living water that Christ gives. Set aside what is merely secondary and hold fast to what is eternal. May the rock of your salvation steady you. May the spirit guide you into true worship, and may you go to shore to share the good news that Jesus is indeed the savior of the world. Amen? Amen. Amen. Amen. And amen. Amen. Go in peace, my brothers and sisters, and have a blessed week.”
26s
#GodInTheQuiet
“I wonder how many people sometimes, when reading or hearing this story for the first time, expect god to reveal himself to you in some great momentous way that I wanna see god just shake my world. I wanna hear god to see what he can do, and we miss the quietness when god speaks to his word and through our hearts.”
45s
“Well, this is Moses' EF Hutton moment. He is saying to Israel, perk up your ears whenever you hear God's word. And so it is with our children. We should drive home to them that whenever you hear God's word, listen to it. May the word of God in a generation of talking heads in pundits, in a generation where everybody has an opinion and they are not afraid to share it on social media platforms, on YouTube, throughout the world, on cable news, wherever you turn. Everybody has an opinion, and the Internet helps us to think we know just enough to be dangerous. But there is only one who knows the end from the beginning.”
33s
“Moses will emphasize something that we, by and large, have lost in our generation, this fear of the lord. But what he wants him to understand and what I want you to understand is that the fear of the lord brings the favor of god. The fear of the lord brings the favor of god. Can you say that with me? The fear of the lord brings the favor of god. Verse number one, now this is the commandment, the statutes, and the rules that the lord, your god, commanded me to teach you that you may do them in the land to which you are going over to possess it”
40s
“And how do you know if you're fluent in the language? Well, experts will tell you, you know that you're fluent in that language when you begin to think in that language, dream in that language. What god wants is for us to know his word so much that we would think in that language that when people ask you, what is your opinion on this, on, the way that we relate to possessions or the way that we parent or the way that we approach marriage or the way that we approach work, that the first thing that would come to your mind is, what does the word of God say about that? That when people ask you your opinion that you think in terms of chapter and verse before you think about anything else.”
25s
#LivingWaterWithin
“I don't have to go to Dollar General. I don't have to go to Kroger's. I don't have go any place else. I got the living water in me. So any thirst that I might have is quenched because I know the Messiah. The one who's given me the living water that keeps me going.”
31s
#EyesOnJesus
“Don't be bogged down by despair, it says, and let us run with perseverance. The race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus Christ. You wanna focus? Focus on Jesus Christ because he is the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. For the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame because it was the worst death possible. And he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
25s
#QuietFaith
“God is not gonna force your hand. If you're following god, he won't turn your trust into theatrics. He's not gonna do that. When somebody ask you to do something, my brother and sister, faith is really not flashy. Truth isn't loud. And sometime real faith looks like staying when you wanna run.”
23s
#NoDebtToTheDevil
“It's temptation that is using faith as a lever to get you to do something that you're not supposed to. It's really treating god like a cosmic stunt coordinator. You gotta do all these things to match up to make the devil quiet. No. You don't owe the devil anything.”
