Sermon clips from Elk Grove Township churches

64s
“Let us not hold back to create a space for forgiveness and reconciliation and healing. And I know for sure there is a person in your family, coworker, or someone you know somehow who is waiting for you to show up and says, Here I am. I'm gonna listen how you feel. I'm gonna pray for you. And if I can help you, I'm gonna help you. Gracious God, we thank you for your steadfast love. It shows up every day, every morning. You call us to create spaces where we can work together towards forgiveness and reconciliation in this world and bring healing. Help us to shine your light for others and love one another as you love us. May our actions speak louder than our words. In your holy name, we pray.”
52s
“And here's what I want us to see. I want us to see a progression. And I'm just gonna go ahead and give you the point so that you see where we're going. In Daniel chapter one, Nebuchadnezzar is impressed with God's servants. In chapter two, Nebuchadnezzar is impressed with God. In chapter three, we see Nebuchadnezzar standing up for God. And in chapter four, we see Nebuchadnezzar acknowledging or accepting God. And that process took about thirty years. But I want to say this evening, it is possible to live in a pagan culture and to be a testimony for Christ without compromise. These young men are testimony to that.”

#GoToTheMargins
“But it's not just Jesus's job to do that work. At this point, the 11 disciples still scared. Most of the time, they're meeting in a locked room up above, in a locked room scared to death that the Roman government is going to come and do what they did to Jesus and put them up on some crosses. They're hiding out of fear of the work that was set before them. And Jesus had to do a little bit of reminding. Jesus had taught all the way through his time on Earth. Hey, this is gonna be your job soon. Are you ready to do it? Are you ready to go to the very margins and talk to the people that no one else wants to talk to? Are you willing to do the healing work that needs to be done, not just physically for a person but for the life of a community or the world around us. Are you ready to do the work?”
71s
“``Ain't that cool? The disciples got to be the answer to their own prayer. Jesus says, I want you to pray that you would send out laborers into your harvest. And then the very next verse, he says, you know, line up guys, all 12 of you. Gives them their names and he says, it's time for you to go. How do you see people? Do you struggle with prejudice? When you see somebody, do you wonder what their immigration status is? You wonder how rich they are? When you see that nice car drive by and you say, man, I wish I had something like that. I wonder how much he paid for that.”

#GodMovesFirst
“They did not know that while they were walking through the dark, something had already happened that that would change everything. The stone was already moved before they arrived. The resurrection was already accomplished before anyone was there to see it. The dawn was already coming while they were still in the dark, and god did not wait for witnesses before acting. God always moves first. God always moves in the night. God always moves and left the evidence for grieving women to find in the early morning.”
51s
“We all owe to love. We are to put on the armor of light in the Lord Jesus Christ, and we are two or three. Whenever we gather in Jesus' name, Jesus will show up. That's the promise we have. And Jesus says, let's do it. Let's love people. Let us not hold back to create a space for forgiveness and reconciliation and healing. And I know for sure there is a person in your family, coworker, or someone you know somehow who is waiting for you to show up and says, Here I am. I'm gonna listen how you feel. I'm gonna pray for you. And if I can help you, I'm gonna help you.”
46s
“We often avoid conflict and doesn't address it. We would rather look at our phones and swipe to the next screen, than go to another person and says, let's talk. I'm going to listen. Share your pain. Forgiveness and reconciliations are a process, and they do not happen instantly. It is sometimes helpful to have a moderator who can make sure we truly listen and understand where the other person is coming from. It is a shared process that is focused on the outcome to be reconciled and to bring people together, the offended and the offender.”
59s
“And as just a side note, those of you that know your Bible quite well, you would know that it was in that fiery furnace that God himself came down and walked with them. I believe it was a a Christophany, an appearance of Jesus Christ. And that happened as they stood up for what was right. Now, folks, God didn't have to save them, but he did. And sometimes we have to take a stand not knowing what the consequences are going to be, and we yield our bodies or we yield our careers or we yield our testimony or our reputation, I should say, to God. And let him accomplish what he wants to accomplish through us.”
31s
“Nor these Hebrew children walked to the fire and that's when Jesus showed up next to them. They had never seen that if they had never been thrown in the fire. And they had never been thrown in the fire if they had compromised. And so, let us be wise. Let us be pleasing to you. Dear father, let us be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Let us be a good testimony for you.”
80s
#RootedAndSent
“Now, it would be really convenient if everyone that had a problem or anything that needed to happen, if they could just come in the building and sit in the pew for a couple of weeks, you know, give a few offerings, and and then we'd be able to help them. That's not how this works. We are called as Christians, as followers of Christ to go out into the world. That roots us together. Much like that aspen tree, there are probably 47,000 different churches out there. There's probably also 47,000 different denominations. If you wanna hear my philosophy on different denominations, find me later. But again, when we start to spread out, we get to be able to do more work. We get to help more people, and we get to change lives all at the same time. That faith, that passion, that hope is what binds us together as fellow Christians. It's in our very DNA. It is what is in our roots.”
