Sermon clips from East Columbus churches

49s
“But time really isn't measured in minutes and hours. It's measured in what really matters. And if I could give a gift to dads today, it would be the gift of reexamining where your time goes and asking the question, does this time that I'm spending on this thing really matter that much? Yeah. Maybe it helps me get ahead in business. Maybe it helps me provide for my family a little bit better. But ten thousand years from now, will what I'm spending my time on today really, really matter? And when you start to ask that question, the way that you and I use our time starts to really look different.”
41s
“``Likewise, to us, Jesus tells us, congratulations, you have accepted faith. Congratulations, you have received the sacraments. Congratulations, you are filled with the Holy Spirit. Now, get outside the doors and go make disciples. And don't be afraid because I have provided everything you need. Don't be afraid because I will be with you. Don't be afraid because even when bad things happen to you, I am their present with you and I will bring you comfort.”
64s
“Do I really wanna go through someone being sick or I have to carry them on my back or I have to do this for them or they can't see or they can't hear? They got something and yet there's a problem with them and you still wanna adopt them? But see, Jesus looked at all of us. The spirit of adoption, the father looked at all of us and said, I still want them. I still want you. Amen. Look at your life and the things that you've done and yet Jesus says, I still want you. The father says to you, I still wanna adopt you and all your issues and when you were addicted to porn or when you were out there in the streets and you were in the club and you were lying and you were cheating or you were having multiple relationships or you were sneaking behind the back of your family or you climbed out that window or yet you went out on the street. You did all of these things. You in school lying. You in school selling drugs. You did all of these things, whatever it was. He said, but I still chose you.”
79s
“So Christian, when you fall and stumble and you inevitably will, When your faith is weak and wavering as it sometimes will certainly When you fear that the pressure is too great and you're going to collapse or you're going to be crushed, remember what God has done for you in Christ. If God, through the finished and accepted work of Jesus, has become to you the God of peace, There will never be a day in your life when you have to wonder whether or not it is right between you and your God. You rest knowing that you are at peace with God.”
48s
“Isn't that wild? The God of the universe who could write his message of hope in the sky, rearrange constellations to spell out the gospel, instead decides to use broken people like you and me to proclaim the ministry of reconciliation to a lost world. That every place you go, you are an ambassador called to proclaim the message of reconciliation. That every place you go, God has appointed you to be there, to join in the work that Jesus himself came for, of saving sinners.”
55s
“No one on earth, no one who's ever lived on earth was more aware of the end of their days than Jesus was. In fact, Jesus even told his disciples, I know my time is gonna end. He would tell them, I'm on my way to Jerusalem where they will hand me over, they will execute me, they will crucify me, and I will die. And because he was aware of the end of his days, he was highly focused on what he did with his time while he was here on earth. I think Jesus is the living personification of what you and I are supposed to do with time. You see, if God has a plan for this priceless gift that he's given us, then it's our responsibility to make sure we're using it according to his plan.”
56s
“``The Bible could not be more clear on this subject. God has given you a gift. He's given all of us a gift, and he is going to take that gift back one day. There is an end date for everybody listening to my voice right now. And when he takes that gift back, he's gonna expect you to have used it correctly, which means when I stand before him, and this terrifies me a little bit, it should terrify you too, he's gonna ask me, Jeff, what did you do with all that time I gave you? Where did you invest that time that I gave you? The difference between spending time and being a steward of time is recognizing this isn't mine. I don't get to make decisions about it. It belongs to God. And because it belongs to God, he gets to decide what I do with it and not don't do and don't do with it.”
42s
“Look. God has given us this priceless gift that none of us can earn back, none of us can buy more of. And what we do is we do some chopping and some cutting with it. But if we're honest, we also turn a screw or two with it. And when you turn the screws with it, you really are kind of abusing this priceless, precious gift that God has given us. The first challenge when it comes to time is, if it's a gift from God, and he has a plan and a purpose for this gift, then use the gift the way that he's intended it to be used.”
39s
“Here, these disciples, they've gone out. They have done some amazing things but they've also been met with great resistance. They've also been met with a little bit of persecution. They have been met with people telling them to go ahead and just move on. And at this moment, Jesus tells them, don't worry about that, but focus back on the mission at hand. What's the mission? To heal, to preach, to care, to declare, to lift up.”
38s
“The time will come when all of my infantry lieutenants will have that moment where they're told, congratulations, you've graduated. Congratulations, you're in excellent shape. Now congratulations, get on the bus to Ranger School. Likewise, to us, Jesus tells us, congratulations, you have accepted faith. Congratulations, you have received the sacraments. Congratulations, you are filled with the Holy Spirit. Now, get outside the doors and go make disciples.”
