Sermon clips from Hunt Valley churches

21s
“And God doesn't always just bail us out. That's not his habit, you know, when we get into a difficult financial spot. But for me and Deb, it was an opportunity to remember that the Lord loves us. And, and I took that money and, no, was just gonna say something funny, but I didn't do that. So forgive me, Lord, on that. So anyway, I,”
22s
“with the Lord. He does miracles to point us to him. He doesn't do miracles to simply entertain us or to draw a crowd. The miracles were to reveal his divinity and to reveal his character. And then lastly, I think about just how he involved the disciples, and he tips his hat at how he's gonna allow the disciples, and he allows you and I to be involved with miracles.”
17s
“And so I thought about that, and Debbie and I remarked about that years later about it was just a reminder. It was just one of those things that God did, and we're not sure how it happened. And maybe you have a story like that, you know, where you just can kinda look at your life and you just think of a moment where God did something that was incredible.”
16s
“and we didn't know what to do. We didn't have any money. I was just getting started in ministry. Debbie was going back to school. We didn't have 2 nickels to rub together, as my mom used to say. And, and so I had a phone call from a friend of mine by the name of Brian. He said, you know, Gary, I want you just to stop over the house. And,”
38s
“"And I think that's interesting. Their first instinct was political. And we live in an age where politics is the alternate religion. I would call what we're living in something bordering on totalitarian. Everything has become political. It's constant. And we're surrounded by technology that just propagandizes us constantly. And politics is important. If you love your neighbor, you live in a society where you can still vote and have some kind of voice and influence, then you ought to care to some degree about politics. But the opposite problem is idolizing it and thinking that's the main thing or the ultimate thing. It's really not."”
29s
“"And I mention it because Jesus said, His followers should be able to discern the times in which they're living. They should be able to recognize which way the wind is blowing. And I'm saying we have more in common with these ancient Christians than we might think we do, because we're not living in the world we did within memory. We're moving into a much more difficult world. And like those early Christians, we need to realize Christ may be on the throne. He may be king. He may be reigning. But we don't get a pass."”
23s
“"I say that because a month ago I suggested the Book of Acts as like a family album. And we can look at these people. We can look at these people in their lives and not fully appreciate what they have done. When we look at them, we're looking at our own roots. We are the descendants and the heirs of everything they accomplished. The story they started continues through us."”
20s
“"And do you lastly realize this isn't magic, but that you're entering into covenant with God to raise your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, to pray for them, to pray with them, to keep them in the house of God and with God's people, and to do your utmost personally to lead them along the path of faith and knowledge of Christ, do you?"”
34s
“"And as they grew up, they came to understand more of what that call meant on their lives, who they really were. And in the New Testament, there's no change from that. The covenant sign changes to baptism, but it's also applied. It's applied to our children. And so we have two families presenting children this morning, the Fricks family and the Pollard family, and I'd like to ask them to come forward at this time and note that they have parents and grandparents on both sides, both of these families going back. And you see how this spiritual line continues down through the ages."”
12s
“"We live in hope and in patience and perseverance and faithfulness. And we give ourselves to you again as you've already given yourself to us in Jesus' name. Amen."”

Many Hunt Valley churches emphasize multiple service times for commuters, strong kids programs for young families, and ministries for young adults and professionals.
Hunt Valley’s blend of rolling horse country, nearby Oregon Ridge, and the NCR Trail shapes a community that loves the outdoors and local conservation.
