Sermon clips from Central Islip churches

90s
“Por los que no saben el señor me ha bendecido grandemente en estos últimos años de liderar los jóvenes en una manera que el señor solamente sabe qué es lo que él hace. Y en este momento de liderazgo yo he comprendido un poquito más a mi líder. Yo han comprendido que hay veces yo quiero decir algo. Hay veces mi carne quiere reaccionar en algo. Pero el padre celestial tenía otra opción. El padre celestial tenía otra palabra por dar. El señor tiene otro mensaje por dar. Y yo comprender ahorita qué es someterme al señor y yo comprender ahorita qué es caminar de mano a mano con Cristo me hace respetar un poquito más al líder que al puesto enfrenté. A saber que este varón sigue sometiéndose a lo que el señor quiere. No importa la vergüenza, no importa lo que le digan, no importa el bochorno. Él sigue al pie de la letra lo que el señor lo manda a hacer.”

“If you see the bible, you will realize that this tragedy of Satan is not to present to you a direct lie. He's more he's more clever than that. If you go to Genesis chapter two for example, you will see the conversation between the serpent and Eve. And you will see that he he never says, you need to disobey God. He's a fool. No. No. They have a bible conversation. He comes and he says, what is what God says about that? I think that God says, you need to do this. Of course, if you go back and you read what god says, he's completely wrong. But the point is he he's trying to twist god's words. He he but but but the change he will do is a subtle change. It's not a big change. It's just just small part of what god says, but it's enough to ruin your life.”
87s
“And I'm not saying this is sometimes our homes, you know, we our parents, you know, they can only they can only help us as best they know how. And that might be their best. But there's a whole lot more that God wants to do. Right? And so we gotta be forgiving. But if in your house, god is optional, they'll treat god as optional. I want you to know and understand clearly today that your house, your home, silently communicates what you value, what's important to you every day. Did you hear that? The fourth thing I wanna share with you, and we touched this briefly in some other segments, but we need to understand that the world is already discipling our kids.”
43s
“``Got troubles? Pray Psalm 86. Tell Jesus how you feel. Ask him to help you and keep asking all day long if that's what it takes because he is listening and will answer. And as you're praying, remember what he's done in the past, in the bible, in history, and in your own life and ask him and yourself if there's anything you need to learn from this mess and then thank him. Thank him for what he's done in the past, what he's doing now, and what he's gonna do to get you out or at least through your mess because he will.”
76s
“``But how is this a good news for us? The bible says this is a good news for us because he he God sent him into this world to live a perfect life, but not just to show you how it looks like a perfect lives. The bible says that he lived a perfect life without sinning. He went to the cross for what you did with the wicked man and the forbidden woman. The bible says that in that cross, he took upon him what we did. The bible says that if now we can come, we can be seeking the presence of God, and we can receive the wisdom from God, it's because Jesus Christ paid for you and for me. My brother, my sister, he is the son. The next time you read you you you read this proverb, you need to understand, I'm definitely not that person. I'm definitely not that son, but Jesus is.”

“Solomon says, you need to see we seek wisdom. You need to look after wisdom. But what is wisdom? A lot of people in our days thinks that wisdom the right tips for practical life. So I need the five tips to improve my marriage, and I need the three steps to be successful in in that situation. And I need the all the 10 steps or whatever. But that is not what the Bible says. Wisdom is not tips for practical life. Wisdom is not a philosophy. Wisdom is not a book you can read. It's not a college you can attend. It's a person. Wisdom is a relationship. It's it's something sorry that you receive in a relationship. Wisdom is a relationship with God.”
53s
“My brother, my sister, there is only one son who walk with God perfectly. There is only one son that honor God since the beginning until the end. There is only one son that never pay attention to the wicked There is only one son that never never into the kind of conversation with the forbidden woman. And it's not you, and it's not me. It's Jesus Christ, our Lord.”
48s
“``Para concluir el mensaje hoy. Sean obediente, mi hermanos. Y líderes, sométanse en esa cruz cada día un poquito más. Duele mucho y arde, como dicen. Sométase a la cruz, sométase al caminar del señor y vean los frutos que van a dar por seguir la biblia. ¿Quiere que yo les ahorre un poquito de dinero de sus estudios teológicos? Sigan este libro. Aplíquelo y síguelo y le prometo, yo doy mi palabra, le prometo que van a producir fruto que el señor nos ha dado en este libro. Amén.”
