Sermon clips from Clay Township churches

67s
“I said, God, I know you're real. I know you raised Jesus from the dead. If you're still there, if you still love me, save me. And I remember the peace that I felt that night. And I knew things would never be the same again. I remember in that same exchange saying, God, if you're there, you hear me, show me a sign. And I remember, even though I hadn't seen a sign, I was still sitting there, and I felt that peace, and I knew I lived right then for the first time. Yeah. Before that, I had gone to school. I'd played baseball. I'd done all these things, but I had never really lived until I knew Jesus. Right then, I lived for the first time. And I prayed that, and I knew things wouldn't be the same.”
82s
“``That little girl probably understood more theology than we think. God has designed fathers to reveal something of the heavenly father. No earthly father is perfect. Joseph wasn't perfect. I am not perfect, and it has you to guess none of the fathers listening today are either. But today on Father's Day, I don't believe God is asking the impossible of us. He's not asking us to be super dads. He's asking us to be faithful like Joseph. Just, merciful, thoughtful, obedient, protective, hardworking, and willing to place our children in the care of their heavenly father. That is the kind of dad I wanna be. My prayer today is that when our children think about God, they will have seen enough of him in us that believing in him becomes easier. Amen.”
70s
“When Jesus calls us to follow, everything else in our lives gets reordered. Our loyalties, they get exposed. Attachments are tested. Our fears are revealed for others to see. Our assumptions about what is truly important in life, they can change. And what that all can feel like to us is a sword, something painful, something that wounds us. But it's not because Jesus wants to destroy us, but because Jesus comes to cut us free from everything that cannot give us life. To be sure, there are many out there who welcome a Jesus who fits neatly into their lives without rearranging anything. But Jesus does not come to be one more thing to do on our calendar or on our list of things. Jesus comes to claim us.”
61s
“we come close to the real end of the story, and I'd argue the most important aspect of this week's chapter, and that's when David confesses. Unlike Saul who tried to defend his wrongdoing, David just responds in two Hebrew words by saying, I have sinned against the Lord. I have sinned against the Lord. And in that confession, there's no blaming. There's no dodging. I can imagine even after nine months of that heavy guilt, he may have even been thankful for Nathan's rebuke. But Nathan, again speaking for the Lord, responds immediately. He says, the Lord has taken away your sin and tells Dave that he is not going to die. Remember, we we know that the wages of sin is death, and we read earlier in Leviticus that the punishment for adultery is death. But just like that, in an instant, the Lord forgives him.”
75s
“And the reason the gospel of Matthew is so focused on that is not because Jesus wants us to be focused on that. It's because Jesus wants us to trust those consequences to God. That dealing with the rejection and the betrayal and the deception and all those things that can happen, that will happen, that may happen in our lives, that is for God to deal with. What we are called to is to build connection, to invite the hospitality of others, to offer peace and love of God to them, and to step closer to those who say yes and to those who say no, to step back and let them experience whatever plays out from that, and do it again and again and again. To practice our faith with the risk of rejection lurking, we have to trust that regardless of another's reaction, that God will deal with them and that we will be okay with God.”
92s
“We also have to say yes to loving the people who God loves. And spoiler on that, that's everyone. We have to be committed to loving who God loves. Not because of what they what they do for us, not because of what they say, not because of what they believe is exactly the same as us, but instead, because they are created by God, and God loves them. We also have to develop a passion for meeting the needs of others and for listening to their stories. To be able to have a gift of listening and hearing and understanding the needs of others. We also, if we wanna begin a life of service, have to know what it means to pray for others earnestly out of the love of God. And then ultimately, the thing that can help us the most begin a life of service is studying the life of Jesus and following Jesus.”
54s
“Write this down. We choose obedience because God has chosen us not in order to be chosen by God. And there's a clear difference in that. Because on the other hand, what I've seen is so many Christians that go about their lives and they're doing a lot of things for God. And they're giving and they're serving and they're going to church they're doing all those things from a place of trying to earn God's approval not knowing that he's already given it to them in Jesus. That we don't choose him and we don't choose obedience because we're trying to earn somehow our way into relationship with him. We do that because he's already chosen us and there's a big difference in how you live that out in your life. Because God choosing us comes first and then our response in return is that we choose to choose him and we choose to live our lives for him.”
72s
“``You see, transformation is not about changing from something bad into something good. It's not like that. It doesn't require that there be something wrong with you to be transformed. No. Transformation is what the stories and life and death and resurrection of Jesus are all about. Transformation is what God wants for everyone beyond all else. Transformation is about being not only open to change, like, if it comes by, I might do it. That's not transformation. Transformation is being eager to seek out change, to being looking for something to or someone to change you, actively pursuing it. That is transformation. It requires dedication and discipline and commitment and a willingness. And it insists that you not deny it when it comes, that you not turn it away or run from it.”
32s
“But the good news, the gospel is that Jesus perfectly lived the life that we could not live. He lived a perfect life. He was a perfect example of every single one of us. He loved the father completely with all of his heart and soul and mind and strength, and then he loved others sacrificially all the way to the cross. Like, the cross, when you think about it, is what perfect love looks like. Like, that's what Jesus has done for us. And now Jesus invites us not merely to admire him, but to follow him, not merely to know the right answers, but to surrender every part of who we are and hope to be to him.”
32s
“And we understand see, grace really should be a eye opening of, look what he saved me from. Man, if he died for me, I'm gonna live for him. Doc, well, I'm saved, and I heard what saved always say. I'm not gonna live the way Ross wants to live. No. The bible says I gave up that right. He bought my life with a price. That's right. I gave them that right. It is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me. Hallelujah.”
