Sermon clips from Howell churches

40s
“You see, how we view things, I said it earlier, determines how we do things. So what we believe about the church determines how we behave in the church and with the church, with one another. A simple elevation and and perspective change in the Corinthians can correct so much of the problems they were having here with the division. He says, listen, the church is to be a place of worship, a place of purity, of unity, of growth, and above all, friends, the the church is to be a place for God's glory.”
42s
“I'm gonna age myself, but do you remember uncle Sam with his finger pointed and saying, I want you. Well, what that was was it was encouraging the citizens of The United States to serve, to get involved. To serve and to get involved. For what? For the cause of the greater good. What God desires that we get involved. He's pointing his finger at us in a nice way that we would get involved, that we would serve. He's saying, you. You.”
36s
“The expectation of God's word is transformation, not just information. So it's very important that what enters us begins to change us. And Paul addresses that here. Now notice he says three things that are problematic in their midst. These are the telltale signs of immaturity in a believer. The first, he says, is envy. And that's the word in the Greek, it's zealos. It's where we get our word zeal.”
31s
“He is the one doing the work by his spirit. Now, this is both encouraging to me and terrifying. It's encouraging to me because I'm reminded that the weight of the ministry does not rest on my shoulders. Now, I and the elders of the church here, the pastors, we certainly have a burden that we carry and we do that with great joy, but the ultimate load is carried by the shoulders of Christ. It's his work.”
28s
“``Let each one take heed. Take heed how you build. Take heed how you do what you do for the Lord. It should be done well. But it also should be done for his glory. You see, the foundation is Christ here. He says, there's no other foundation than the one that was laid. It's it's Jesus Christ and him crucified. Nothing else. We build on the person and work of Christ. We don't build on our personalities here.”
39s
“And here's what's important about that. We're living stones. Man, sometimes I I I'm I'm too hard. But for too long, the church in The United States has been trying to build God's spiritual house without the spirit. Being stones on life support, mostly building in our own power. In this context, this as you come is speaking of a daily habitual abiding Christ. He empowers us to be living stones.”
37s
“``But as it is, God arranged the members of the body, each one each one of them as he has chose. I'm gonna read that again. But God, as it is, God arranged the members of the body, each one of them as he chose. Wow. Are you hearing this? Did you hear what he just said? God has placed each one of us here, specifically in Emmanuel Bible Church for a specific role and task. God did it.”
38s
“So here here's what Paul is reminding us in this passage. And I'm gonna I'm gonna Paul reminds us here that each member needs the body and that the body needs each member. I'm gonna repeat that because it's so important. The word of God is telling us this morning that each member needs the body to flourish, to grow, to mature. And the body needs each part to flourish, to grow, to mature.”
33s
“"If we spend time to be still and know God, to know that he's our refuge, and strength, our ever present help in trouble. If we learn the discipline of quieting ourselves in his presence, then we'll find the resources to face every difficulty. Whether it be a white whale in the sea or the many trials and tribulations we all face."”
30s
“"One of the things that God wants us to do is to learn to rest in him, to trust him. He is able to bring us through whatever trouble we may be going through. He is an ever-present help in trouble. You know, our hearts long for that which can be depended on. At the deepest part of who we are, we want stability. We look for it. We desire it."”

Why Howell churches are unique

Anchored by a large population of commuting families and longtime residents, churches in Howell often prioritize flexible schedules, strong kids’ discipleship, and weeknight connection points. From Ramtown to Candlewood, many congregations build neighborhood-based relationships that make a spread-out township feel close-knit. You’ll frequently see strong kids programs for young families, weekday commuter-friendly gatherings, and a deep small group culture.
Set between wooded preserves and the Manasquan Reservoir, Howell churches commonly lean into the outdoors and seasonal rhythms—hosting community picnics, trail cleanups, and creation-care initiatives. After past coastal storms, many also keep volunteer networks ready for practical aid and recovery. It’s not unusual to find outdoor events and nature retreats, organized hurricane relief and disaster teams, and ongoing community service and food pantries.
Reflecting a diverse and multigenerational population—along with nearby cultural influences from the Jersey Shore and neighboring towns—congregations often blend timeless traditions with modern approaches. This can mean classic services alongside contemporary gatherings and language-accessible ministries that meet local needs. Offerings like bilingual Spanish services, modern worship with contemporary band, and traditional liturgy with choir are all part of the spiritual landscape.
