Sermon clips from Kincardine churches

44s
“But Jesus' delay wasn't because, my friends, he'd he'd love them any less. His delay because he was about to reveal something greater. Right? Mary and Martha wanted healing. Jesus was preparing resurrection. Right? They wanted Jesus to prevent death. He was preparing to reveal his glory, right, and his power over death. Right? They wanted Jesus before the tomb. He was about to reveal his glory at the tomb. And so the invitation for us today is, Come and see Jesus in the delay, right? His timing may confuse you and I, but here's the reality. His love has never changed.”
41s
“And this is the true heart of this passage. He doesn't say I don't I I I know about a resurrection. I can perform a resurrection. He says, I am the resurrection and the life. Resurrection is something that he just does it's not something he does. It's it's who he is. Right? Where Jesus is, my friends, life is present. Right where he speaks, death has to listen. Right where Jesus stands, grave is no longer final. And that, my friends, is where faith is built. Faith is not only built by what can Jesus can do for me, it's built on who he is.”
43s
“Then Jesus says in verse 44, take off the grave clothes and let him go. That is powerful. Here's the thing, my friends. Jesus gives Lazarus life, but he calls the community to help him walk in freedom. Right? He's alive, but he's still wearing that that has belonged to death. And so many of us here, we're sitting here and God has made us alive today. But here's the thing, we're still wrapped in old things. Right? Old habits, old bitterness, Old ways of thinking. But Jesus did not raise Lazarus to so that he can live bound. He raised him, my friend, so he could be free.”
35s
“Right? If he loves me, he will come before things get worse. But here's what John 11 teaches us. A delay from Jesus is not a denial of his love. Right? A delay from Jesus is not a denial of his love. And it's hard to believe when you're the one waiting. Because here's what I've learned from my own life. Delay is one of the greatest tests of faith. Right? It's easy to believe Jesus when the answer comes quickly, but it's harder to believe that Jesus loves me when, what, it feels like heaven is quiet.”
38s
“"We must, we must, my friends, release forgiveness from our heart, and from the overflowing of my account, I release my accuser, my oppressor, my offender. And maybe you're here today, and you're like, yeah, okay, cool, but I'm actually not really sure about this whole Jesus thing. Maybe you haven't actually made that step. Let's go back all the way to point zero, and first you have to receive forgiveness."”
33s
“"We start with repentance and next we have to inspect our heart. We have to actually inspect our heart to see if there's any unforgiveness or a bitter root or an offended heart within me. Because you can quickly pray that prayer and forgive us our debts as we forgive those who sin against us for I lead us not into temptation and deliver us. And you can pass by that moment and the Holy Spirit might be prompting you, you need to forgive this person, you need to forgive the situation."”
29s
“"We have to actually inspect our heart to see if there's any unforgiveness or a bitter root or an offended heart within me. Because you can quickly pray that prayer and forgive us our debts as we forgive those who sin against us for I lead us not into temptation and deliver us. And you can pass by that moment and the Holy Spirit might be prompting you, you need to forgive this person, you need to forgive the situation."”
22s
“"An offended heart leads to bitterness and bitterness leads to division. That when we are harboring bitterness in our heart, it actually leads to the division in our relationships. The division from the local assembly, not because that you have necessarily done anything, but you're choosing an offended heart that would lead to a root of bitterness."”
29s
“"Offense is a moment, but offended is a choice. So if something happens to you and you have an offense, that's a moment and that's isolated. None of us can subclude ourselves from that. That's going to happen. It's inevitable. But offended, you have determined and decided that I am now offended at this situation. That you've actually determined and decided to label yourself as offended."”
20s
“"Forgiveness is Christ-like suffering, which is the Christian's duty to bear. It's our actual reality, and the call of Jesus to find ourselves under the cross of Jesus Christ, the only way that I have been forgiven, to share in Christ's suffering."”
