Sermon clips from Centerville churches

55s
“You have been blessed with the word of God. God's truth from God himself, and this is the central truth of that word. Yes, you've got an eternal problem. It's called sin. But I have an eternal solution. It's called righteousness, and it comes by faith in Jesus Christ. And you know what? You're sitting here as people who have that faith and therefore have that righteousness. God declares you not guilty by faith in Jesus Christ. What a beautiful teaching that is. Christianity stands on it. You are not guilty by faith in Jesus Christ. What a truth.”
59s
“And he would say, go back to school. Just go back to school for a second. You know what it's like to be not picked, don't you? You know what it's like. And yet, maybe for some of you, you know what it's like. You're standing there praying somebody picks you, and they actually do. And you know what it's like. You didn't deserve it. You're not the greatest on the team, but they said you. I want you. That's what Jesus did for us. He knows your name. He's not saying, you know, Dave in the back. No. No. Dave's right there. Come on. You're on my team. You're on my team. And James says, remember that. Remember where you used to sit. Remember what it was like. Remember what Christ did for you. That's how you get mercy in your life. That's how you extend mercy in your life.”
44s
“Obviously, I am not urging you to try and obey the law in order to make yourself right with Christ. Obviously, I'm not telling you this morning to go out and find the righteousness of your own. It doesn't exist. Obviously, I'm not telling you simply to hope in eternal life. Although I've heard that far too often from Christians, I hope I get to heaven. Christ wants you to be certain. Absolutely certain. Because it depends nothing on you, everything on him, and he's done everything. There's nothing left for him to do in order for you to spend eternal life with him. And that means there's also nothing left for you to make yourself right with God.”
32s
“And you live in that confidence every day. I realize your life may be full of uncertainties. There are plenty of doubts. We don't know absolutely what's gonna happen the rest of the day, let alone tomorrow. But you know this, Christ is your savior from sin. You have forgiveness. You are righteous before God, and eternal life in heaven is yours. Go in that confidence. Christianity is absolutely true.”
60s
“And so what Jesus is doing, I think, and what James is doing evoking all this is is pushing the envelope to say, when we think about the poor, we don't have to imagine ourselves being poor like we've never experienced that before. You were poor. You were poor spiritually. You had nothing. You could offer God nothing. You were left for dead and look what Jesus did for you. Remember the royal law. Remember what Jesus said. And I think this is why James is probably losing his mind when he's writing this to them. Because it's like they forgot the gospel. They were so quick to forget who they were before all this. They were forgetful. That's probably the greatest sin ever is just to forget what God has done, but they were they were so quickly to forget the gospel. And so James actually, sneakily, he slides the gospel in and we didn't even see it.”
62s
“And for those of you who are struggling to feel loved and encouraged or accepted by church or any church, I just want you to hear this this morning. That the ground at the foot of the cross is always a level playing field. Churches play favorites, and I'm sorry about that. We are broken people, but the foot of the cross, it is a level playing field. All can come, all have a seat at the table with Christ. And if you've been invited, and if you've been extended mercy, James says, you know better, how can you do this? How can you let people go on the floor, on the fringe? How can you let people feel that way? That is so dishonoring to them, that's so humiliating to them. Come on, open your eyes, see who's out there.”
40s
“``Guys, I'm telling you, there's nothing there's no better story than somebody who has glory that is willing to give up their glory, to give their glory to someone who doesn't have their glory. That is the story of stories. And this is what Jesus did for us. He says, you have to remember, you have to remember the gospel that Jesus is our glory. But what did he do with his glory? Gave it away. Gave it away. Jesus, who was God's ring, who was his robe, who was his sandals, said, here, I'll give it away so that you could become rich.”
