Sermon clips from Garland churches

36s
“``So, the Pharisees in Jesus day are classic example of this. They thought if they filled their life with the bible that that would produce spiritual giants among them. Well, the bible is there to point us to Christ. Mastering the bible is not the point of the spiritual life. The point of the spiritual life is to be mastered by Jesus Christ. In fact, Jesus had this to say to the pharisees, you have your heads in the bible constantly because you think you'll find eternal life there, but you miss the forest for the trees. These scriptures are all about me And here I am standing right before you and you aren't willing to receive from me the life you say you want.”
83s
“As clay, sometimes we want to be a teapot but the potter said, I want you to be a flower vase. We keep asking the potter, hey, I want to be the teapot while the potter want us to be something else. the more we keep resisting the work of the father's hand, the more he has to rework the clay. And so, here's the truth that we, as Christian, we should understand and we should acknowledge that as the potter, God has all the right to touch you where and when and how he sees fit. US clay don't have any say in it.”
47s
#ValidationThroughTrials
“And I'm putting this in front of you. I'm putting these questions in front of you because you need to know, somebody needs to hear this, that validation and verification of God's hand on your life will probably not show up in the form of applause and approval. Did you just hear what I said? If you're looking for some validation that God's hand is on your life, it's likely not going to show up in everybody cheering you on. It may just show up in attacks and assaults that you weren't looking for.”
26s
“The Lord disciplines those he loves. Have you, do you see that as, when you're going through discipline from God, do you see that as an act of love, that God cares for you enough, that he's going to let you experience some pain, to protect you in the long run, to shape you into something that is so much better than what you have vision for?”
38s
“Where does this desire to imitate come from? Why is it that we can't be happy with ourself? Now, there's no question. It seems like we're chasing after something that we've lost and that's really the key to understanding this. The bible says we are looking for something we lost because at one time we had a true identity, a true image of being created in the image of God. But sin came along and distorted it. So what sin did, it caused us to turn our eyes away from the source of our self image and made us look to all the wrong people and places for meaning and worth. Because you were created in the image of God, you were made to look like him.”
35s
“Now, these are some pretty impressive religious activities in these verses. Speaking in tongues, prophetic powers, understanding all mysteries, having all knowledge, mountain moving faith, giving away your possessions, sacrificing your life for others. Yet, all of them are devoid of any real power if they're not done in love. They're nothing but a bunch of religious noise, a clanging gong, a clanging symbol. Love is the great authenticator. It proves that we've been with God. So what if God's church, his people really believe that leading with love was the only way to bring other people into his kingdom?”
35s
“They were doing right things, but doing right things wasn't translating over into a transformed life. So, all that to say, unhealthy spirituality only focuses on one aspect of who we are as people. In the bible, the scripture never does that. It's all three. The totality of our personhood experiences are not more important than truth. What you know about the bible is not more important than how you live. And simply doing right things, doing the things Christ taught without heart and mind transformation just leads to a dead religion. We're whole people. We need a whole answer.”
78s
“And so as we come into the confession time, let us come to the Lord and acknowledge that Lord, sometime we as clay, we speak too much. We demand too much. We blame the potter for our circumstances. Remember, God has all the right to touch the clay anytime he wants to, where he wants to, and how he see fit. So there are several things that I want us to pray for. Actually, are five things as we come to the Lord in the confession time. Where have I resisted the hand of God? Where have I blamed God or my circumstances instead of yielding to him? Remember, God has the right to touch you how, where, and when he see fit.”
79s
“Now this is a humbling picture. We don't know what is wrong with the clay. Maybe there's a rock in the clay. Maybe the clay was not moist enough. Maybe it wasn't soft enough into in the potter's hand. But here's what we see. The good news is that the potter just kept on reworking it as the clay was keep on resisting the potter's hand. And here's the thing. Sometime as clay, we refuse the work of the potter's hand in our lives. Sometimes we blame the potter for the brokenness in our life. Sometimes, the clay, there's a there's a rock in it and we say, Lord, the potter, there's something wrong with your hand. And we blame the potter's hand.”
30s
“In a moment, we have we will have a time of prayer and intercession where we pray for one another. And that is where we bring this broken, spoiled, marred clay and we ask the potter to rework it. And he will rework it. Our failure should not be final. And we know that God is still working in and through our lives and in and through our church.”
