Sermon clips from Bridgton churches

23s
“"We need to run after that filter, first being the kingdom. As we respond to things, as we receive things, we receive them a kingdom way. And then we just take day by day. When things get rough, just take it today. Yeah, but this is going to happen. Yeah, I know. And when it happens, we'll take care of that. And when that happens, we'll take care of that. Take it day by day."”
28s
“"We need to know what's really meaningful. It's not our stuff. We need to know that we are more valuable than the birds, more valuable because we bear the image of God. We need to understand that our worrying and our fretting doesn't actually create anything. We don't have that ability. That's God's space. But we are valuable and we are important. There is a hierarchy to things."”

“"As followers of Jesus, if there are things in our life that don't look much different than the culture around us we are maybe in a place where we're not really enjoying the ways of Jesus fully following Jesus. I mean I got the opportunity to be a part of stuff like this being in churches for almost 20 years now I've just heard stories story after story of followers of Jesus who have lost position in the world if you will you use that language because they put the way of Jesus above the way of the world."”
31s
“"We need to understand that we, humans, have deep, intrinsic value. We are not, well a part of nature and a part of it. There is something about us that is set apart. If we go back to the creation. The creation story. We see God, this interesting part that happens right at the beginning. Where God says, let us make humans in our image."”
22s
“"For many of us, the bulk of us, there are things about worry that are not necessarily external. They're really internal things. Yeah, but this thing's going on over here. Yeah. But how you respond and how you think about it and how you come up with things is an internal process that we need to learn how to control and surrender to. Surrender over to the way of Jesus."”
17s
“"As followers of Jesus, there's times and moments where we just have to accept, God, I'm like a little flower, pushing up through the ground. Everything seems like it's falling apart, and I'm stressing, but the things that are sustaining me, the things that are giving me life, are really from your hand."”
25s
“"We need to know that we are more valuable than the birds, more valuable because we bear the image of God. We need to understand that our worrying and our fretting doesn't actually create anything. We don't have that ability. That's God's space. But we are valuable and we are important. There is a hierarchy to things."”
21s
“"The more important things are our relationships. The more important things are our faith. The more important things for followers of Jesus are seeing the kingdom of God advance in our life and around us. The good things of God are being expressed in us and around us and impacting the world in a positive way."”
20s
“"Hopefully over time, we change, right? We become more and more Christ-like, more and more open to the mood of the spirit. And hopefully over time, we're not looking in the rear view, but we're looking at our life in present moment and reacting the way we want to react in the moment. Not looking back and we're like, oh, I blew that one."”
22s
“"We want to encourage a faith that is all-consuming, that changes who we are, makes us different people as we grow. We talk about this concept about looking in the rearview mirror, about how we act and how we show up. And we look at things in the past and go, man, I wish I showed up differently there."”
