Sermon clips from Boise Bench churches

41s
“What is this saying? That in every part of nature, destruction happens. God spoke all things into existence, and we got the big bang. There was explosions, planets hitting planets, meteors hitting planets, things exploding in outer space. Forest fires, horrific forest fires burn. But from that, from the ashes of the forest fires, you get new life, new vegetation, freshness. Tsunamis come through and destroy things, but from that, life begins afterwards.”

#PursueTheMessiah
“Because Mary Magdalene wasn't interested in nice, correct ideas about Jesus. Mary Magdalene wasn't going to stop searching for Jesus even when Peter and the beloved disciple went home. Mary Magdalene wasn't overawed by angels. She wanted Jesus. Jesus, the person. Jesus who taught her the gospel, the good news. She wanted Jesus the Messiah. She wanted to find Jesus who loved her abundantly so she could show him love in return. Jesus was worth everything to Mary Magdalene.”
36s
#TruePeaceAtTheCross
“The cross is where there can be true peace. Not the absence of conflict kind of peace. That's not real peace. That's just sort of, okay, I put my guns down and, let's see what happens. But real peace where there's no animosity. There's nothing between you and God. And there's a conflict that God had to settle. Verse 21. And you who were once alienated and hostile in mind doing evil things, that this conflict is between us and God. This conflict needed to be resolved.”
43s
#ResurrectionInYou
“Here's what Paul's saying, and and this is the thing I want to actually hear this morning. The resurrection is not something that happened to Jesus. It happened to you in him. The resurrection was the god of the universe dragging all of creation from death into life by the power of his life overcoming death. The life of the resurrection is given to you. When Jesus went into the grave, your old self, the one that was defined by that pattern, that shame, that addiction, that fear, that identity that had its boot on your neck for years, that self went into the grave with him.”
37s
#ResistingGod
“He is resistant to God. Have you ever been resistant to God? I mean, you know God. Many of us know God. We've walked with God for a long time. Jonah's like, yep, but I was I was resistant. He's disengaged from his calling. God says, go do this thing. He goes, I'm going the other direction. He's spiritually off track. He he has a title for of being a prophet and yet, he's doing it all wrong. But salvation belongs to the Lord.”
31s
#BeliefToBetrayal
“It goes from many believed in him, it says, to those same people, it would appear, throwing stones at him and trying to kill him. As far as I can tell, there's seven or eight back and forths between verse 30 and verse 59. Back and forth meaning, Jesus said this, then those who said they believed in him said, wait, what are you talking about? Then Jesus said, well, I'm saying this. And then they said, wait, you mean this?”
35s
#ChurchNotSocialism
“We have been trained to label that as socialism. In the early church, it wasn't called socialism, it was called the church. They had enough for everyone. They make sure that when they had something that another needed, they offered it. When someone did not have something that they needed, there was someone in the community who did have that thing, and they were together.”
46s
#DailyGospelSharing
“Can you imagine with me what this place would look like if all of us as a church did our part Monday through Saturday, telling people about what God has done. Celebrating with others about what God has done. Sharing the good news of the gospel. And then showing up arm in arm linked to brothers and sisters in Christ and celebrate together God's faithfulness. The roof would blow off this place. The building would not stand. We're to celebrate.”
44s
#HolySpiritPowered
“The power of the holy spirit is what makes a church alive. And, you know, I can say that confidently that all of the other things that we do by the grace of God to to to be conformed and moved and allow the holy spirit to animate our efforts are fine, but none of them matter unless they are empowered by the holy spirit. Sermon series, three songs, and a message, greeting people with a with a friendly hello. All of these things are fine, but unless they are part of the power of the holy spirit making us alive in Christ, then they don't matter.”
27s
#DivinePowerNotWillpower
“So what does the scripture tell us that we need in order to destroy strongholds? More willpower? Discipline? Okay. What does it say? It means we need divine power. Right? That's what we need to destroy strongholds. Most of the time, we turn to and we're gonna talk about this. We turn to willpower. We turn to more discipline. We're gonna be more focused. Those are the things we go to. We look for a practical solution, but it's a spiritual matter.”
