Sermon clips from Corvallis churches

58s
“Paul's talking about the fall of humanity through Adam. Right? Adam, one mistake, one disobedience, and the whole world death reigns and sin reigns and then all of humanity and it's true. You look at it today. Right? Sin reigns. But the free gift of the lord isn't like the trespass because the one man brought in a whole bunch of trespasses. You and I and the whole world, big mess. Right? And after the big mess, the big fallout, it's not like the one that goes because all the sin, Jesus, one act changes everything. Right? We mess it all up at one act now through Christ can make, Paul says, all made righteous, made right with God.”
76s
“``The problem isn't that we have stopped loving in this life. The problem is that our love attaches to the wrong supports in this life. Brothers and sisters, you will live for whatever you believe gives you life in your heart. That's the truth right there. People organize their lives around what they believe will give them life. Security, comfort, reputation, pleasure, success, family, politics, or the self. A person who believes security is most important will most likely chase money as that foundation. A person who believes, approval gives life, they cannot tolerate criticism in this life. A person who thinks comfort is the thing of life, they will avoid sacrifice at all cost. A person who thinks that control gives life, well, anytime there's anxiety or an anxious thing, they to their plans, they will, of course, have anxiety there. So I ask you, what is the thing that you think you cannot live without in your life? What is that thing that holds your heart?”
75s
“It's the power. Everybody say power. Power. It is the power of God. The gospel, the good news of Christ is the power of God at work. Saving everyone who believes. The word of God saves everyone who believes. It rescues everyone who believes. It takes from death to life everyone who believes, From darkness to light, from broken to mended, from sick to healed, from bound up to free. I'm no longer a slave to sin because God paid the price, and it is the power of God at work saving everyone who believes. So as as believers in Christ, what that means to me is that every day, I wanna remember what Christ did. That's why people always say, man, just always preach the cross. You can always preach the cross. You can don't let people forget about what Jesus did on the cross because the cross reminds us of salvation.”
67s
“The fear of the storm is turning into an opportunity for God to show up. And just like we read in verse 41 when the disciples said, who is that even the wind and the sea obey him? That you would be stirred up this morning to the spirit of god to say, I don't see Jesus that way anymore. Because the disciples made a pivot. They pivoted from the storm of fear, they pivoted to Jesus in fear and they said, who is this guy? We just know him as a teacher and a healer for others. But now now he just saved us. Who is he? And they discovered something new about their master. Maybe that's where you are today, hungry, desiring to discover something new about how Jesus and who Jesus is and what he's doing in and through your life.”
66s
“Now, obvious implication I think, God's people are far more disappointing than we'd expect is this, hey, don't ever put your trust in man because man will disappoint you. As soon as we put our trust in people, we'll find that people fail us. But there's a powerful truth embedded in the book of Genesis about our God. I said, what does this teach us about man? What does this teach us about God? Here's what Genesis teaches us about God. Your failures cannot derail the purposes of God. This is what you're gonna see over the next couple weeks. Your failures cannot derail the purposes of God. Yet, God can do something in the mess. God can do something through the mess. He's been doing it for a long time. Despite the failures of man, God is working. He's working in your life. He's working in my life. He's accomplishing his purposes and that is something to celebrate church. That is something to be excited about, that God can work in the mess to accomplish his purposes.”
66s
“I'm sending you out two by two because it's a little scary to be sent out alone, and you're going to take no bag. You're gonna take no gold. You're gonna rely on the hospitality that is provided. You're gonna take only the clothes on your back. You're not gonna bring an extra tunic. You're not gonna bring extra pair of sandals, and you are going to go into whatever household that receives you, live into that hospitality, live with them, and if they don't receive you, you shake the dust off of your sandals and you try again. You are not there to stand in the center of a square and trying to get as many people as possible. You are there to meet people, but you are to stay with the same group of people for the entire time. To be there fully.”
65s
“But this is a command here. He said, urge the men to be this. So how do you do that? Bit by bit, surrender your life to the spirit's control. Little by little, day by day, moment by moment, decision by decision, action by action, one little step at a time, surrender your life to the control of the holy spirit. Because when you come to faith in Christ, you get all of the holy spirit. It's like you just got a little dropper full. You get all of him. The challenge is he doesn't always have all of you. We hold parts back little by little, step by step, moment by moment.”
63s
“And I am convinced that this aggressiveness that is within us, it's even recorded in words of scripture as people who worshiped God saw God as the one who would deliver that kind of aggression. I am convinced that those are simply our human expressions recorded recognized and archived for us, I am convinced that the God that we worship is better than us. Are you? That at a minimal, we can say that god is better than us and that the way that god would deal with conflicts and issues in this world are going to be better than our human methods of conflict.”
41s
“I don't know whether he is a member of Hamas or a sympathizer. Somehow none of that matters to me. What I do know is that Mohammed is or was a human being who loved great music. A prerequisite for savagery against other humans is to define them as unhuman, untermenschen, subhuman. It costs a lot of effort and money to render an entire population fit for nothing but displacement or worse, but somehow it gets done.”
37s
“So we all stand guilty under the words of the law. But now, God chooses to intervene in his grace. So the law couldn't save us, but now what we see is that has shared the righteousness of God with us in a way that is apart from the law. And then next, in kind of a nod to his Jewish readers, he throws in this phrase, you know, the law and the prophets. That was a shorthand way of referring to the entire Hebrew scriptures, what we know as the Old Testament. He's saying, you know, the law and the prophets, they've been pointing to what God was gonna do all along. This righteousness has now been given to us, not because of what we did, but through faith in Christ Jesus.”
