Sermon clips from Bailey churches

49s
“But God confronts David's sin. And and here's the reality of these sins that we try to hide, and it's this, ready or not, it will be exposed. As good as we think we are hiding our sin, there will come a time when God confronts it and exposes it. Ephesians chapter five verse 11 through 13 says it this way. It says, take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness, and instead expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret, but their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them.”
48s
“``Why was God asking where Adam was? He's God. He's ever present. He's all knowing, and yet he asked the question, where are you, Adam? Why did he ask that question? I think it was an invitation for Adam to respond. And that invitation, I think, echoes to us throughout the ages. If we're hiding in sin, where are you? Are you gonna continue in darkness? Are you gonna allow God's light to illuminate the dark corners of your heart? Where are you?”
58s
“We keep our distance in an effort to keep him from shining a light on those areas that we are not proud of. The sin in our lives starts to put a wedge in our communication and our relationship with God. And maybe you've been there. I know I was there. Your prayer becomes stale, hollow, shallow, because to go too deep would expose us, so we keep it surface level. Worship becomes the hollow singing of lyrics because we're just going through the motions at that point. Our relationship all becomes a carefully crafted act to look and at the end of the day to feel like we are good with God.”
57s
“And as we do, I want you to remember this question and I want you to ask this question, where are you? Where are you? Are you hiding from God? Is there something that you need to have the light of his his word, the light, that is God shine on that and expose that sin? Because let me tell you, sin that is hidden is hard to get free from. Sin that's exposed, while painful, can be healed from. And it's within this context of of your church family, finding someone trusted to walk with you through that. It's tough. It takes a lot of guts, but the alternative is way worse.”
34s
#BreakingBreadHope
“Something as simple as the breaking of bread helps us see Jesus for who he truly is, the Messiah and the savior who was broken for our salvation for the forgiveness of our sins and who rose three days later to give us victory over death. In other words, he's saying the two things that humanity fears the most, their own sin and brokenness that they can't heal and restore in in life and death and Jesus in one full swoop addresses both. And he says, once those are dealt with, what else do you got to fight? There's hope.”
33s
#CommunionReveals
“I'm willing to take upon myself the the sins of all humanity and to go to the grave in in order that three days later I'd be raised so that not only would you have hope of the forgiveness of sins, that you would have hope that death could not would not be the final note that's played in history. You see, just as Jesus revealed himself in the breaking of bread to these two disciples on the road to Emmaus, he does so every week with us in communion.”
27s
“"Be hospitable and welcoming. You see, one of the things that may mark the life of the early church was they welcomed anybody. In fact, one of the things that got Jesus into trouble was his willingness to sit down with the people of the church and have dinner with drunkards, prostitutes, and tax collectors. With the people on the fringes of the community, he sat down with them."”
24s
“"Be loving toward each other. In fact, he says, above all, this love is the premier characteristic of the Christian. Jesus says, they will know that you are my people by your love, by the love that you have for each other. He said, for the Christian, it's marked by their ability to love. And then he says, because it covers a multitude of sins."”
38s
“"Be alert so you can pray. In fact, the idea here is it helps you see opportunities for prayer in the midst of daily life. You ever found yourself listening to the radio on the way to work, or as you're driving, all of a sudden you hear about a story that's happening in the world, or maybe an ambulance goes by, and all of a sudden your heart, I think the more that we're softened in our heart toward God and become praying people, we start to become attuned to needs in the world around us."”
24s
“"The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. And above all, love each other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms."”
