Sermon clips from Beaufort churches

45s
“Help me get my thought life in order. Our thought lives are in a mess nowadays. Because of social media. Because of the entertainment world. We live in a world that's full of visual aid. They call it visual aid, and it ain't aiding us at all. We're overstimulated, and our thought lives need to get straightened out by the Holy Spirit. My goodness. David didn't have all the stuff that we have today, and he recognized, Lord, try me. Know my thoughts. Help me to get this straightened out up here.”
38s
“Not until my grandfather had come and sat at the head of the table and then blessed the food. And once this had happened, then the meal could commence. We all went after our favorites and had a lovely time eating together until the end when all the dishes were not passed towards him, but the other end of the table to be cleared away and the seven layered caramel cake was brought forth for him to slice and distribute. But this all happened because he was seated in the right seat for all of us to delight in being together.”
49s
#BlessedSpaces
“In Orthodox tradition, we see we see we we we have this deep idea of consecrating spaces, consecrating, aspects of our life to God, particularly. So when we are, we have a home, we have a car, oftentimes, we'll bless the we'll have the car blessed by the priest. You know, while the home blessed by the priest. Is it for those who've had your home blessed, is it magic? No. Does it fix all the problems in the home? No. But what does it do? It it consecrates a space in which we can live and and also to worship and pray. We're inviting the Lord to work in those spaces particularly.”
51s
#OnlyGodIsSovereign
“They thought the man inside the tomb was dead, but it is the soldiers that appear dead, and Jesus is alive. The plot and plans of the humans who thought they were in control failed. The ones who thought they were more powerful than God himself did not thwart God's purposes and plans. Those leaders could not keep Jesus dead. It is through Jesus' resurrection, humanity learns that no human has sovereignty over the world nor ever will. Only God does.”
64s
#SalvationIsSecure
“God is faithful in salvation by consistently keeping his promise to redeem humanity through Jesus Christ regardless of human failure. So regardless of our failure, he is still going to keep us. His faithfulness ensures that salvation is a secure gift of grace, providing justification, enabling sanctification by the holy spirit, and guaranteeing final glorification for believers. So first, we're given that gift of salvation, then comes the justification, sanctification, and eventually, when we finally get to that great getting up morning, the glorification.”
36s
#RisenInLove
“Tell everyone, Jesus says, that God has beaten death. Tell everyone that the church of Jesus Christ will not be directed by fear or hatred, but instead by self giving and self sacrificing love. Tell everyone that Jesus is on the move, that his spirit cannot be contained or locked in. Behold, we go. We go with fear and great joy.”
33s
#YouAreWelcomeHere
“if you're new or you're visiting us, please don't feel compelled to give. We're so grateful that you're here and you're visiting us today. Just you being here is a gift, so we're so thankful for that. And I'd love to pray for the church. You know, we could I could give you lots of verses. We will be reading about, that the tomb is empty today. But I thought this was good, and this is from Romans six verses three through eight. And, this is Paul's writing to the Romans.”
39s
“That was the secret to his strength. The secret, the key to David's strength and might was his humility. Because in other words, he recognized if I've ever every victory was because God gave it to me. Right. Yep. Being able to handle a bear and a lion, that's not normal, folks. To get that kind of might, you're gonna need to get it from God. To handle Goliath, you're gonna need to get especially if all you're gonna use is a slingshot. You better get your strength, and might, and confidence from God, and David had it.”
40s
“God, which direction you want me to go? Now, here's what I wanna do, but more importantly, what do you want me to do? It takes real guts to pray like that. God, this is what I would like, but more importantly, what would you like? Here's what I want. But Lord, more importantly, what do you want? What is your will? Whatever that is, I promise you, it's gonna be better than whatever it is you want. And, it's gonna lead you in a direction that's a thousand times better than anything that you could come up with on your own.”
40s
“If you'll do that, you'll win private victory that'll prevent you from the embarrassment and the grief of an open defeat. Amen. You will reap what you sow. The Psalmist understood this. David understood it very well. He tried to hide his adultery. But, how how good did that go for him? It was just a matter of time before everyone knew all about it. You can try to hide it, and think that you're getting away with it, but I'm here to remind you, you're not getting away with nothing.”
