Sermon clips from Leeds churches

63s
#SacrificialLove
“They came from an animal. And how did God get the animal and the garments of skin? killed. No, no. sacrificed an animal. An animal died. An animal that had done nothing wrong. An animal that had absolutely nothing to do with everything or anything that had happened thus far. Nothing at all to do with it. That animal died. So that guilty sinners could be clothed and have their sin and shame covered.”
58s
#CoveredByGrace
“What's significant about that? Now, if you're familiar with the story, you know that the man and woman had already sewed fig leaves together in an attempt to cover their shame. The Bible says the Lord God made garments of skin and clothed them. And here's the deal. I wasn't there, but I don't think that the garments of skin, physically speaking, covered up any more or any better than the fig leaves did. I I don't think that the problem was they were missing some fig leaves somewhere. I think the garments of skin covered the exact same thing, but the question becomes this. Where did the garments of skin come from?”
60s
#GodIsCreator
“that question is kind of arrogant when you think about it and here's why bother. Man was created. Man was created perfectly. Man was created special. Man was created in the image of God, but man was not God. And that tree, that forbidden fruit was a constant reminder to man that says, I'm over you. I rule you. I am creator. You are creation. You are subservient to me. We're not equals in this thing. I am God, you are man, you listen to me. It was it was a reminder of the hierarchy of the pecking order.”
46s
#LucifersRebellion
“Lucifer looks around and says, that's where I should be. That's where I am going to be. I'm going to set myself up. I am going to ascend. I am going to be like, and here's what happened. A sizable portion. We're told elsewhere in scripture that a third of all angels heard Lucifer speak and said, I agree with that. I'm throwing in with that guy. I am henceforth and forevermore team Lucifer. Let's do this thing.”
64s
#UnmeritedGrace
“Grace is a, it's a messy business. It really is. Because grace always inevitably involves people getting something that they do not deserve. Lucifer and the third of angels, they deserved what they got. But if we say that, we have to concede that mankind made perfectly in the image of God who listened to Lucifer and sinned. We deserve it too. We do not deserve grace and yet grace is extended. Come today and receive what it is you do not deserve.”
70s
#DivineJustice
“Think about it. Just do me a favor. Forget everything else that you know about scripture. Forget every... Forget John three sixteen. Forget all of it based on everything that we have read and seen thus far. We've seen this story before, haven't we? What happens next? Well, the reservation is supposed to get made. A confirmation number is supposed to be given. I mean, wait a minute. If that was exactly the same story with the angels and that was fair, if God wasn't being too harsh with Lucifer and a third of all the angelic beings, If that was fair to them, isn't that fair to us too? Doesn't a reservation have to be made”
51s
#WhyAreWeSaved
“Look, you can ask the question. You can struggle with the question. You can you can you can have some serious issues with the question of, listen, why doesn't God just save everyone? And and I get it. And church, full disclosure, over the years, I've kinda, like, asked that, like, man, why don't you just save everyone? The ones who are saved don't deserve to be saved anymore than those who aren't. Like, why don't you... I get it. It's a valid question. Here's another valid question you've got to ask. You can ask why isn't any of everyone saved? But an equally valid and fair question is, why is anyone saved?”
60s
#GodsAmazingGrace
“It is through the grace of God and the grace of God alone. Extended to sinners like you and I when angels who became demons didn't get the same offer. No grace was offered to them. Only a reservation. Grace is offered to you today. Will you receive God's gift of grace that he never extended to the fallen angels? We have fallen too, but grace is extended. Will you receive the grace that God has given to you?”
68s
#BornAgain
“This is not about you stockpiling good stuff and minimizing bad stuff. It's not about you turning over a new leaf because whatever leaf you turn over has grown from the sinful tree of your life. This is about you being born again through Jesus Christ. We are about to celebrate and we are about to observe a supper that beautifully illustrates this. The bread his body. The cup, his blood, shed for sinners like you and I to spare us from the judgment of God. is the news. That is the good news and that is the only news that can and will save your soul.”
51s
#GodsJustice
“Are you blaming god and, like, saying, hey, you really shouldn't do that? Knowing everything you know about this story, how it has literally been this since the day they walked out of Egypt. You know what? We wanna go back. We're tired of this. We don't like you, Moses. We don't like this god you keep talking about. We're gonna build a golden calf. We're going to do this. We're it is is anybody saying, you know, that was really harsh of God? See, so often the problem is we see we see how God's judgment is just for other people. We just don't think it's just for us.”
