Sermon clips from Barnett churches

42s
“repentance keeps the heart soft. David sinned, but he quickly confronted it. He repented, brought it to the Lord, preserved his relationship with God. Sin will happen in our life. It's not because I believe that we're all evil. It's because we're living in a sin world. We're living where the enemy is chasing after us. And the enemy wants to destroy us, and he wants to bring distance and harm to us. We will fall down. But when you fall down, get up.”
47s
“Our legacy is not what we're going to leave behind. It is what you're building today. There's only one more point I want to make, and it's generosity reveals the condition of the heart. In first Chronicles 29, which is part of your reading, it's not because I put it there, it was in there. First Chronicles 29, David gave sacrificially toward the temple and rejoiced that others did the same. Teach biblical stewardship without manipulation. I get it. I shouldn't have to offer you a little trinket in order for you to give to God.”
44s
“Pride can appear even in mature believers. Some of us walk around, which is a prideful way to walk around. We walk around believing that pride can't get us because we've been serving God far too long. We know all there is to know about him. So pride can't bother us when in reality, it has got us. Pride comes before a fall. David senses in second Samuel 24 and reveals that even seasoned believers can shift and drift into silence and self reliance.”
47s
“I think if you look at the end of David's life, the focus was not merely on his throne and his wealth and his victories. Those things happened. The focus was on his relationship with God and what legacy he left behind. What we are challenged with today as believers is quite simple. Live in such a way that when your story is finished, people see faithfulness of God more than they see your achievements of man. Live in such a way that they say, look at the faithfulness of God and how good he's been.”
32s
“"Pure religion extends charity. You help people in need. You hear that. You are attuned to it. You are listening to it. The Holy Spirit is pecking you and telling you. That might be a hitchhiker on the road. That might be a hurting soul in your church or in your community. That may be somebody who just needs love and encouragement."”
28s
“"God does not allow testing to come our way to break us, but he allows it to come to prove us, to prove us. When we are taught and trained and understand something, the only way you know if you got it is if you can stand the test or the trial that comes your way."”
60s
“"James begins this letter by outlining some general characteristics of what a Christian is like next he exhorts Christians to act justly in society... finally he exhorts the readers to be patient with each other and to be straightforward with their promises."”
21s
“"Faith will inevitably produce good works you know if somebody has faith because you can look at their works they're the tithers they're the givers they're the people who are out door to door knocking they are the people who are teaching young kids in the church they are the people driving the buses and the vans those are the people who have faith."”
60s
“"James asked us to follow him to church he asked us to understand Christians make great claims about their life and what they believe but they belay those by their actions... they act as if all of they they have all the right answers but they contradict the gospel with their lives."”
17s
“"If you are walking through a trial, God is perfecting you. He is perfecting you. That is a love kiss from God to say, I trust that you can go through this trial and I will go with you."”
