Sermon clips from Decatur Township churches

53s
“But to fear God is to acknowledge that we are a part of something much larger than this relatively small social group in which we live. In some sense, the fear of the Lord gives us greater perspective on the world, a more accurate understanding of God's creation, of which we are just one small part. And at times, it may give us the courage to resist conforming to the ways of this world because here in this place, we are being transformed by the renewing of our minds.”
55s
“This very Jesus, this very same God, left the thrones of heaven and was born as a human being. Now maybe this is just because I've got a five week old at home, but it stands out to me that this Jesus, the god of the universe, would have fussed and cried, would have pooped diapers, would have had to learn to walk. You wanna talk about a humbling oneself, the god over all limited his power into a human body to suffer, to die, to rise again for people who were his enemies, who constantly fought against him.”
72s
“And here's what you do. I love you, and I I know you think you could live right by God and do it, but you are also a creature of flesh and selfish desire, and I I am too. And what we would do is we would do whatever we wanna do for as long as we could up until we thought, uh-oh, dad's coming. Gotta get ready. Gotta clean up. Gotta make sure we're good. That's not how God wants us to operate. God wants us to trust him, love him, live for him now. Not later now. Why? Because he just hates the way that you live your life and hates you and thinks you're terrible. No. He actually, it's because he loves you. It's because he wants you to know him because he already knows everything about you. He wants you to know real joy, real peace. Our assignment is not to predict the end of time, and when Jesus comes back, it's to prepare for it.”
41s
“Their circumstances hadn't changed. Rome is still Rome. Pilate is still Pilate. Jerus Jerusalem is still dangerous. Jesus was still crucified, but now they understand in the light of the scriptures. Before the resurrection, the cross looked like defeat. Through the resurrection, they could finally see the cross of victory. Their hope was restored because Jesus showed them that God's plan was greater than their expectations and greater than our own expectations.”
59s
“Think of it this way. Maybe your present anxiety is revealing a place where you need to trust god. Or how about your exhaustion or burnout that is telling you you can't keep doing it the way you've done it. You can't keep being responsible for everyone and everything. Maybe your longing is pointing towards something that god is calling you to do, or compassion for someone is inviting you to get closer. You see, the mystic asked, God, what are you saying beneath all of this? In in our Lecto Divina of the scripture, we are asking god, what are you saying beneath these words?”
48s
“And Moses is the only person who has lived in this forty years in that wilderness where God is going to bring his people. He's well familiar with the geography of that place where God is going to bring them, to take them to the promised land. Isn't God amazing? Amen. Why did he choose and pick Moses? Because Moses was uniquely and strategically prepared in spite of the negatives in his life or hardships in his life. God had uniquely orchestrated strategically to use him for his great purpose.”
66s
“The surprise that has come from someone who did something for them beyond belief. To be framed by grace is for you and me to live a different way of life on God's kingdom come here to earth. It is to live in God's way of life, God's way of life of love and forgiveness, and it daily changes us. Remember, Martin Luther tells us we're always gonna be simultaneously saint and sinner, so we need to wake up every morning being asked to be daily changed where we can be changed from lost to found, from despaired or maybe even a little bit just grumpy to hope filled, where we can be changed from daily calculating and expecting to just saying, thank you. Thank you for the invitation to just go.”
26s
“Jesus never wants to remind Peter of his past. Remember that. Remember that. Remember that. You know who does that? The devil. What the devil wants to do is remind you of what you were. What Jesus wants to do is make you into what you are. He is not concerned with what garbage you carried into this room. He's concerned with how you look when you walk out of it. You see that in his actions. Here's what he says. When they finished breakfast,”
49s
“Hope is the the the knowledge and the understanding that we can persevere through anything because God is with us through faith. Hope is so much more than optimism. Optimism is temporary. Hope is eternal. Optimism says everything's gonna be fine tomorrow. Okay? Yeah. I'd like to hope that. I'd like to think that. But hope is not that everything will be fine tomorrow. Hope is when things aren't fine tomorrow, I'm still here. God's not done with me. There's still a plan and a purpose for my life that's yet to be fulfilled.”
73s
“But Shiphra and Pua, here they are, seemingly minor characters only mentioned in a couple of verses. But in order for their names to have been preserved, people must have remembered them. What they did must have mattered, and generations of people must have passed on their names as they told this story around campfires and then wrote it down in a book. And today, halfway around the world, thousands of years later, we remember again what Shiphra and Pua did. Here's what they did. They were maladjusted in the most positive way imaginable. They did not do what they were supposed to do. They didn't do what was expected. They didn't do what was safe. They were under orders from the king to kill the Hebrew boys, but they simply and quietly didn't do it.”
