Sermon clips from Garland churches

42s
“Entire sectors of our economy are run by the worship of mammon. The god of mammon is behind so much of evil and injustice, things like war racism, ecological devastation, and so much more. The division in households over finances, that's not godly. The anger that arises when adult children fight over inheritance left to them by their parents. That's not godly. Greed begins to grip us and becomes like a fortress and a stronghold of bondage that we don't even realize we're trapped in. How deep is that darkness if we're confused thinking it's the light?”
42s
“As we come to a close, I want you just to think for a moment about the most generous person that you know. Just kind of think for a second in the Rolodex of your relationships. Who's the most generous person that you know? They may not be wealthy, but you know them to be really generous. Draw them to mind for a second. Now, here's the question. Are they a joyful person? My guess is, yes, they are. Here's what, honestly, I have never met an unhappy generous person.”
50s
“But make no mistake or it will cost you, like, literally, to put Jesus' teachings into practice. But we can resist the way of greed in the world by intentional acts of financial generosity. is the way. That's it. That's the way. Because you can't serve God and mammon at the same time. And the only way to kick mammon to the curb is through financial generosity. And you will get back far more than you give away because there is no more joy than in giving than in than in receiving. There's so much more joy in giving.”
29s
“Jesus is kind of naming this deep impulse in the human heart to just store up treasures and hold on to it. Because in our mind, it's the safest thing in the world to do with it. It's fascinating though that Jesus does not rebuke this impulse. For for Jesus, the problem isn't that we want to store up treasure. It's that we store it up in the wrong places. Amen.”
33s
“"When we lash out. We are operating in the world's false substitute for lament. You can say it another way. Lashing out is the worldly way of lamenting. When we lash out. We are lashing out often to indict. To condemn. To separate. To divide. But when we lament. We are confessing our pain. Our disappointment. And often times what we find ourselves doing in an attempt. Because we haven't really learned how to lament properly."”
43s
“"Time does not heal all wounds friends. Jesus heals all wounds in time. And this is the invitation that we have from God. And some would say pastor isn't lamenting just prayer. I don't think prayer helps me in those moments of heartache and pain. I get it. Lisa Harper said it really great the other day. She said prayers may go unanswered. But no they are not unheard. We often falsely perceive God's silence for his absence. Just because God is silent doesn't mean he is absent friends. God is present. God cares. And God hears you."”
29s
“"Where we are not honest with God about our pain and heartache. We actually are revealing how little we trust God's capacity. To bring healing to us. So as long as you're manning up and doing it your own way. And we're just going to move on and get through. You're just trying to be your own healer. But you don't have the capacity to really heal. Yourself. And we're actually acknowledging and rejecting God himself. Who can heal. All wounds."”
22s
“"We have to be aware that there is a measure of what we use. A measure of what we do in our lives. And our interaction with one another. It matters. Our own hurt and our own pain. It matters. It matters because when we allow Jesus to heal it. Then healed people can help heal people. But wounded people still wound people."”
30s
“"When you see an injustice, how you respond to that injustice. What's your action that you take? Are you publicly taking to the forum of social media to slander and to call out? And because there's an injustice that has been done and it needs to be made known and we've got to get it right. And we become keyboard thumb warriors for a God. Trying to live out sometimes the gifts and the callings that God never actually placed on our lives."”
26s
“"We have to learn how to actually do relationship together. That when pain and hurt comes, we actually run to each other, not away from each other, hurling accusations as we do. And sometimes you experience those kinds of things in your own relationships and they hurt. And if we don't deal with them, well, we'll find ourselves living broken and unhealed in areas that God longs to bring us healing and wholeness."”
