Sermon clips from Belvidere churches

50s
“``Like contentment begins when we stop asking created things to do what only the creator God can do. Like your circumstances and your stuff will never satisfy your soul. So we should stop expecting them to. What we have to do is be wise and go, listen, we have resources. Listen, your house is a resource. Your wealth is a resource. Your car is a resource. They're all tools, but none of them have the ability to carry the weight of the satisfaction of your soul. They'll never do it.”
38s
“You hear the words of Jesus, your savior this morning? It's not, hey, you need to own more. Hey, try harder. Hey, go chase after more. Get more. Jesus says, no. No. No. Come to me. Come to Jesus and he will give you rest. When he says, take my yoke, that's a a wooden thing that's used to put two animals together so they walk in unison together. He goes, hey, come to me. I'll give you rest. Abide in me. Walk with me. Learn from me. And you know what I'll give you? Rest, joy, contentment, satisfaction.”
41s
“Like, listen, you can get the promotion, you can get the house, you can get the relationship, you can get the marriage, you can start the family, you can have the career, you can get the things, and yet there's this thing that happens where our soul whispers, there has to be more than this. Someone goes, don't ignore it. Don't deny that you feel that way. Because the reality is success or more success won't solve that. More money won't solve it. More comfort won't solve it. More experiences won't solve it. But only Jesus can satisfy your soul.”
38s
“Paul said my satisfaction isn't built on what I have or what I don't have. He's like my contentment and my satisfaction aren't based on how well I'm doing or how terrible I'm doing. He says his contentment is the settled confidence that Christ is enough regarding his circumstances. I think that changes everything. Because if Christ is enough and he is enough, then our circumstances and our stuff no longer control us.”
30s
“"See, the reason that I can forgive and the reason that you can forgive this morning is because Jesus' body was broken, and Jesus' blood was shed. And friends, the good news of the gospel is it is enough, that Jesus is enough, and that we can be people who know him and walk in fellowship with him, filled with the Spirit, who can walk in fellowship with one another, being kind and tender-hearted with one another."”
19s
“"Help us to allow that love, and that grace, and that mercy, and that forgiveness to flow through us downstream to people that hurt us, betray us, oppose us, and sin against us. Lord, help us to forgive like you first forgave us."”
44s
“"Forgiveness always brings about healing. So who do you need to forgive? I mean, just identify who's that person for you. What did they take from you? What do you think they owe you? What is keeping you from forgiving them as Jesus has already forgiven you? And what's your next step? Look to the cross. Allow Jesus to forgive them as he has forgiven you. Participate with Jesus and offer forgiveness."”
36s
“"Now, what's interesting is God commands us to forgive. And reconciliation should always be pursued. But reconciliation is not always possible. Because reconciliation takes two parties that agree to pursue reconciliation. It requires both people to confess and repent and to forgive. It requires both people being willing to take a risk, to reestablish the relationship and reestablish trust and say, can we make this thing work? If one party refuses, reconciliation is not possible."”
24s
“"Forgiveness simply is an act of obedience, empowered by your faith in Jesus, where you cancel the death that was created when somebody hurt you. But I would tell you this week, this God would start to set you free. You'd actually take this stuff seriously. And go, because Jesus has forgiven me, who am I to withhold forgiveness?"”
33s
“"Here's what I think Joseph is saying. I am forgiving you, not because you even asked for it. I'm forgiving you, not because you deserve it and not because you've earned it, but I'm forgiving you because I know who God is and because I know what God's doing in my life. See, what Joseph does is he connects the forgiveness he's offering to the God that he loves and he knows and he serves. Over and over again, God sent me, God sent me, but God, God has made me."”
