Sermon clips from Friendswood churches

36s
“There was no law in the books of Moses through Deuteronomy that addressed paying taxes to a foreign entity that subjugated God's covenant people. That was just not in there. You know why? Because the law was intended to govern people under God's rule, under the theocracy. And so there was no provision for any king coming in and you having to pay taxes. And so the very fact that these guys were presenting this as some kind of violation of God's law shows that they were adding something that scripture didn't say. Scripture did not address this at all.”
34s
“He can take your daughters to become perfumers, cooks, and bakers. He can take your best fields, vineyards, and he's you see all this permission the king has that God is giving him. He can take your vineyards and your olive orchards and give them to his servants. He can take a tenth of your grain in your vineyards and give them to his officials and his servants. He can take your male servants, your female servants. He can take your best cattle. He can take your best donkeys. He can use them for his own work. He can take a tenth of your flocks, and then you yourselves will become his servants. If that's what you want, that's what he's going to get.”
29s
“And I remember trying to work through that. And so it would be different if this person had decided, okay, I'm not gonna pay my taxes, but I'm also not gonna use the roads. I'm not gonna use I'm not gonna use the military. I'm gonna go some I'm gonna go find an island somewhere to where I completely run everything because you're using the roads, you're using the sewer systems, you're using the water, you're using the military. I mean, right? So render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and render the things to God that are God's.”
32s
“And this is such an interesting passage here. What Jesus is saying is our main point this morning. Render back to governing authorities what God has granted them, and render back to God what he has granted you. That word that is here, give then, give, is really give back. It's diddema is give. Apoditema is give back, and that's actually the the literal translation of that. So really what he's saying there is give back then to Caesar's what is Caesar's.”
31s
“"Considering the fact that a measure of suffering is guaranteed and necessary to obey God, we have to pursue a biblically faithful response to suffering. We have to pursue a biblical. What is the proper response? No, nobody looks for it. We can't go on out and look for suffering. But there's something that's going on in the heart of Paul. It's going on in the heart of the other apostles that emboldens them to speak for him and to live for him in a way in spite of the rejection and in spite of the conflict that he has."”
28s
“"Suffering is necessary because it grows others' faith. You know, it grows your faith, but it also grows others' faith, right? Paul also writing in Philippians was talking about him being put in prison and there were these itinerant preachers and these preachers in Philippi who were taking advantage of the fact that Paul was in prison. Now they knew Paul had gotten, everybody was sort of giving Paul kudos for being worthy enough to be put in prison among the Christian people."”
40s
“"Suffering is necessary because it grows your faith. Romans chapter 5 verses 3 through 5 says this talking about suffering he goes not only that but we also boast in our what affliction suffering afflictions you can use that as similar terms because we know that affliction produces endurance endurance produces proven character and proven character produces hope this hope will not disappoint us because god's love has been poured out in our hearts through the holy spirit who was given to us and so it's necessary."”
35s
“"The world is never going to accept the gospel. The world is never going to accept Jesus. It is always going to be in opposition to that. You guys remember that Jesus said this himself. Jesus promised him. If you were of this world. The world would love you as its own. However. Because you're not of this world. But I've chosen you out of it. The world what? Hates you. Are you comfortable with that? Is there a part of you that has to be liked?"”
30s
“"We have to recognize this. Is that a measure of suffering is guaranteed. And it's necessary to obey God's call for your life. And we have to get comfortable with that. There is a certain amount. There is a measure of suffering that is guaranteed. I love. Let's look at what it says about being guaranteed. Paul later writes. He says in fact all who want to live godly life in Christ Jesus will be what? It's guaranteed."”
25s
“"And so you can see that the disciples knew that they were not going to stop Paul. Paul was going to speak about Jesus. And I can just imagine his zeal and also too a sense of regret for what he had taught before. And he's probably going to all of those other Pharisees and his other friends and compadres. Trying to get them alone and say look I was wrong I saw him. So he did that. Probably man by man. He probably did it in the synagogues."”
