Sermon clips from Green Lake churches

43s
“See, the question for us isn't just how am I responding, but what kind of a culture are we creating here together? You know, do we make space for young people to be involved in meaningful ways? Do we talk about them more than we talk with them? Do we make ministry decisions with them in mind or are they simply an afterthought? See, can have the best programs in the world, but if our culture doesn't communicate, you belong here, you matter to God and to us, then we're missing the mark. Because the problem isn't that young people are disinterested. The problem is often that we have not made enough room for them. Curiosity isn't the problem, access is.”
40s
“See, they're longing to be welcomed, longing to be known, longing to be understood and longing for people to care. Because many times it's easier to relate to people who look like us, talk like us, think like us, maybe are closer to our age, understand our life experience, our preferences, maybe there's a shared level of comfort that we have in certain things. We might even see the young people in our midst and say, they'll be valuable once we mold them into our certain way of being, molding them into our preferences, molding them into what's comfortable for us. But the kingdom of God doesn't run on comfort, it runs on compassion.”
37s
“First, what if the church, the very place meant to welcome them is getting in the way? Second, what if our preferences, our traditions, our fear of change are blocking their path to Christ? And what if we saw the young people around us not just as a ministry group or a problem to solve, know, people to put off in another building or another space as important as that is for them to have age appropriate spaces, but what if we saw them as fellow image bearers that Jesus is longing to embrace?”
35s
“Children weren't protected. They weren't heard. They weren't celebrated. They were marginalized until they could contribute to the family or society. And yet, Jesus says, the kingdom of God belongs to them. Flipping that on its head. Now this, it's not just a nice sentiment, it's actually a rebuke of a nefarious system. One that says, you aren't truly valuable until you start to produce something that we consider valuable or productive. One that says your value is based on how you measure up in the real world.”
28s
“"We can't be tolerant of evil, but the destruction of evil is not our task. We must stop being evil ourselves and we must stop evil from destroying. But how can we stop evil without becoming evil in the process? How do we trim the bush without killing it? It's one of the questions that we wrestle with as we head into the week and there's no tidy answer. But let's start with the question. Life is long and we're on this journey together."”
34s
“"As we look at what the kingdom of heaven is like, we see and understand only in part and need Jesus as the full revelation. We get to come to the table today in communion, and we're offered in communion a reminder of us needing Jesus in the full revelation. We can come with humility, recognizing that he's the sower of the good seed, that we're in a time of waiting, and that we want to be active and see the kingdom of heaven revealed as we wait for Jesus to be the ultimate judge."”
28s
“"The sowing of the seed and the seed tending that we do takes place in this time of waiting. So the kingdom of heaven waits. In the parable, the sower says not to pull up the weeds immediately because if so, the weed could be damaged at the same time. So just as the farmer, even now, doesn't plant a field and then immediately harvest it that same day, the same is true here, that the seeds and the weeds have a chance to grow."”
32s
“"The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sows. Jesus gives an interpretation to his disciples about who the players are in the metaphor of this parable. So Matthew 13, 37 to 39. The one who sowed the good seed is the son of man. The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels."”
21s
“"Parables are this concrete depiction of a cosmic truth. As Jesus tells parables, he uses familiar imagery to the time, not necessarily always familiar to us still, but he uses this familiar imagery to create metaphors that spark curiosity and deeper reflection."”
12s
“"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that by the power of the Holy Spirit, you may abound in hope. May it be so. Have a really great week. See you next time."”
