Sermon clips from London churches

35s
“why would we do this? Well, it's a it's a good first reason. Jesus models it for us. When Jesus' disciples asked him to teach them how to pray, he gave them what we call the Lord's Prayer, and Ruth talked about that with us a few weeks ago. And I wanna talk particularly about, this one verse. He says, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew six ten. So the rest of that prayer relates to ourselves asking God to meet our needs or forgive our sins, but this particular moment relates to the whole earth.”
25s
“Jesus is inviting us to see reality shift, not just in our own lives, but actually in the whole world. Which brings us to the second reason why we pray for others outside of ourselves. And the second reason is that we want things to change. Now, I don't know about you, but there are a lot of things happening in the world right now. It doesn't take a theologian to say, not God's will. There are a lot of things that I would love to see change.”
26s
“God's will be done. God's will be done to kind of resign ourselves to situations when we're not sure what the outcome's gonna be. I I think, speaking for myself, sometimes the phrase of god's will can feel kind of passive. But I actually think god's will, like all of our wills, is is active. It's an active thing. If my will for an afternoon is to have a cup of tea, you best believe I'm going to the kettle. I'm making a cup of tea.”
29s
“It is so interesting to me that he presents love as the key to discernment. Love helps us to see what is best. The solutions maybe to the situations that we're praying about, the godly perspective on what's going on. God's love, I found, can lift us out of our individual human perspectives and help us connect back to that reality of heaven that we're praying to come on earth. So when we come to pray and intercede, let's not be loveless.”
19s
“"It's choosing to stand firm on His goodness even when I don't know the answers why. Can't understand my unanswered praise. So where you find yourself this morning, we're to continue worshipping in a bit and allow God to minister to us."”
23s
“"So where do you find yourself this morning? Do you know Him? Have you come face to face with this incredible Jesus? Or what God asking you to down this morning so that you can grab hold of the Kingdom which is far more precious than treasure or the pearl of great price?"”
26s
“"As preparing this sermon, I found myself constantly confronted with the question why. Why do I keep laying down my life, my dreams, my desires, even when life has knocked me down, as I'm sure it has for you? Why do I with all joy decide to hope again, believe again, and go again?"”
20s
“"The complicated side to this parable is understanding and allowing the revelation of the Kingdom of Heaven, God's rule and reign, to grip our hearts. Otherwise, we actually just fall into the trap of legalism. And we just go with the Christian motions of life. And it's just not the life God's offering to us."”
29s
“"We see in this parable that Jesus is inviting His listeners, He's inviting me and you into the Kingdom of Heaven, which means God's rule and reign. We read in this parable that both these men after seeing just a glimpse of the Kingdom of Heaven joyfully, keyword yeah, joyfully sell everything, give up everything for the Kingdom."”
24s
“"God is a Father who loves to give His children good gifts. He places desires in our heart. But what am saying is that there is a cost of following Jesus. He asks us to down our lives, give over control, pick up our cross, and follow Him."”
