Sermon clips from Manteca churches

23s
“And if that's the case, he's not asking, have you earned your way here? He's not looking at a list of good deeds you've done. He's asking, are you listening to the Holy Spirit that I have filled you with? He has given it to us. Christ said that I will send someone who will fill you and guide you and lead you. And he's asking, are you listening?”
29s
“``Let me tell you this. This is the most direct we get in this whole message. If you've been spiritually circumcised, it should be obvious to the world. It's why we use such a clear truth in the Old Testament. If you have been spiritually circumcised, if you have been filled with the Holy Spirit of God, if this, then your life should be obviously different. The entire world should clearly see that you have been changed.”
19s
“Man, I wear glasses because I can't see where I'm going. And if I'm the one trying to navigate my life, if I'm the one trying to figure out what's good and what's for me, I'm going to crash and burn. And let me tell you, I've lived that way, and I have. No. Instead, when we're a member of God's family, when we're filled with the Holy Spirit, he says, you can trust me because you are my child.”
21s
“I don't want the old identities that I had before because my heart's been shaped by the Holy Spirit. No longer do you want to care more about your job than your family. No longer do you want to worry more about your body than your spiritual health. No longer do you want to continue to take on debt to pretend you have a lifestyle you don't. No longer do the things of the world matter because you're obviously different.”
45s
“"And to find that you're not rejected. You're not ridiculed. You're supported. You're loved. But you're also free. You're free from that. Just the power that the secrets had over you. For Christmas one year. Like a husband normally does. I got my wife this. I didn't know what to get her. That's where the normal man part comes in. But I got her this weighted blanket. Has anybody ever heard of that before? It was like one of those things. Like an impulse buy. Right by the register at Kohl's or something like that. And I thought, oh, thank you. And so I bought it for her. And it's exactly what it says. It's a very heavy blanket."”
40s
“"We need the help of a trusted person who can help us kind of understand ourselves better. Help us interpret what God is showing us. Help us kind of sort this stuff out. Help us not move too fast. Help us not move too slow through our recovery. But we can't... That's why we say we can't do it alone. Because it's just too much. It's just too much to interpret what's in our minds and hearts already. And then match it with this new information coming in through recovery and all the stuff we're learning in our groups and everything. And to mesh it all together. It's just too much."”
39s
“"I talk to people all the time that just say, I can't live this way anymore. It is killing me. I want to get rid of my hurts and habits and hang-ups, but how do I do it? How do I do it? And the good news in that answer is that you don't do it. It says you're entirely ready to have God remove these defects of character. Right? Nobody does their own surgery. I had to have my appendix out a couple years ago. Right? That would be pretty wicked if I had to do it myself."”
38s
“"When you share with another person out loud, the secret ends. And that's important because secrets have power over you. People that keep secrets have this heavy weight on their lives all the time. They've always got to watch out over their shoulder. They've always got to cover their tracks. They've always got to check their lies against their new lies. They've always got to do all this stuff. And when you confess it to another person, the secret's out. It's not out for Instagram, but it's out to another person. And you see that that other person still accepts you and wants to help you and help you overcome."”
39s
“"Voluntarily submit to every change God wants me to make in my life and humbly ask him to remove my shortcomings. That's a loaded, loaded sentence. Think about that. Voluntarily submit. To every change God wants me to make in my life. Now, let me tell you this. It doesn't happen all at once. When we go to God and say, okay, God, I want you to just make any change. He's not going to change everything overnight. It's a journey. It's a process."”
42s
“"God gives strength to the humble. He doesn't give punishment to the humble. Or ridicule. Or condemnation. He gives strength to the humble. We come to God and we say, God, I don't got it. I don't have it. I can't do it on my own. I need you. He gives strength to the humble. So give yourselves humbly to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. And when you draw close to God. It doesn't say God will be grossed out and push you away. It says, when you draw close to God. I just imagine crawling up in his lap."”
