Sermon clips from Islip churches

90s
“Por los que no saben el señor me ha bendecido grandemente en estos últimos años de liderar los jóvenes en una manera que el señor solamente sabe qué es lo que él hace. Y en este momento de liderazgo yo he comprendido un poquito más a mi líder. Yo han comprendido que hay veces yo quiero decir algo. Hay veces mi carne quiere reaccionar en algo. Pero el padre celestial tenía otra opción. El padre celestial tenía otra palabra por dar. El señor tiene otro mensaje por dar. Y yo comprender ahorita qué es someterme al señor y yo comprender ahorita qué es caminar de mano a mano con Cristo me hace respetar un poquito más al líder que al puesto enfrenté. A saber que este varón sigue sometiéndose a lo que el señor quiere. No importa la vergüenza, no importa lo que le digan, no importa el bochorno. Él sigue al pie de la letra lo que el señor lo manda a hacer.”
86s
“If you see the bible, you will realize that this tragedy of Satan is not to present to you a direct lie. He's more he's more clever than that. If you go to Genesis chapter two for example, you will see the conversation between the serpent and Eve. And you will see that he he never says, you need to disobey God. He's a fool. No. No. They have a bible conversation. He comes and he says, what is what God says about that? I think that God says, you need to do this. Of course, if you go back and you read what god says, he's completely wrong. But the point is he he's trying to twist god's words. He he but but but the change he will do is a subtle change. It's not a big change. It's just just small part of what god says, but it's enough to ruin your life.”
87s
“And I'm not saying this is sometimes our homes, you know, we our parents, you know, they can only they can only help us as best they know how. And that might be their best. But there's a whole lot more that God wants to do. Right? And so we gotta be forgiving. But if in your house, god is optional, they'll treat god as optional. I want you to know and understand clearly today that your house, your home, silently communicates what you value, what's important to you every day. Did you hear that? The fourth thing I wanna share with you, and we touched this briefly in some other segments, but we need to understand that the world is already discipling our kids.”
43s
“``Got troubles? Pray Psalm 86. Tell Jesus how you feel. Ask him to help you and keep asking all day long if that's what it takes because he is listening and will answer. And as you're praying, remember what he's done in the past, in the bible, in history, and in your own life and ask him and yourself if there's anything you need to learn from this mess and then thank him. Thank him for what he's done in the past, what he's doing now, and what he's gonna do to get you out or at least through your mess because he will.”
38s
#ExpectResistanceAtStart
“they get so discouraged on the front end, they never even start. I wonder how many people God laid something big on their heart and discouragement and opposition before the first step. Wiped it out. The enemy is gonna try to take it out at the very beginning. So at the very beginning, expect resistance. I just met with a couple this week that they're like, Hey, for the first time in our life, like we're gonna trust God with our money and we want to make a donation to the church and lo and behold, twenty four hours later, their alternator goes out.”
43s
“And when you begin to see God being with you, it will begin to change you. It changes how you think. It changes how you pray. It changes how you will walk through that season. And I tell you, I just like to pray for people. Thank you, Jesus. And that if you name the name of Jesus it doesn't matter what your calling is. It doesn't matter. So many things that we kinda place emphasis upon. But if you're a child of God, you love God, and you know you are called according to God's great purpose, which is to be like Christ, that no matter what you're facing, he's working all things for that good.”
42s
“The world's wisdom says you've gotta look good and you've gotta have your your profile picture perfect at the right angle, the right sunlight. You know, you've gotta put this best image of yourself out especially on social media platforms today. And while there is truth in the bible that talks about being healthy and taking care of your body because God has given it to you, Placing your faith in your image is going to bring you further away from god because god doesn't value the image as much. He doesn't value what you look like on the outside. What god values is your heart. He values the inside, the wisdom of who you are before him.”
29s
#ChristLivesInMe
“But another vital sign that is, is the fact that Christ now lives through me. So in other words, another vital sign that I have resurrection life is that it is not my I I am not my own. I have been bought with a price. My actions reflect my faith in Jesus Christ. In other words, not my will be done, but thine be done. It's not my ways. It's not my thoughts, the prophet wrote. It is the ways and the thoughts of God.”
76s
“``But how is this a good news for us? The bible says this is a good news for us because he he God sent him into this world to live a perfect life, but not just to show you how it looks like a perfect lives. The bible says that he lived a perfect life without sinning. He went to the cross for what you did with the wicked man and the forbidden woman. The bible says that in that cross, he took upon him what we did. The bible says that if now we can come, we can be seeking the presence of God, and we can receive the wisdom from God, it's because Jesus Christ paid for you and for me. My brother, my sister, he is the son. The next time you read you you you read this proverb, you need to understand, I'm definitely not that person. I'm definitely not that son, but Jesus is.”
80s
