Sermon clips from Marion churches

37s
“And God says, listen. You're digging your own well, and it's gonna break your heart. Count on it. At some point, God is not mocked. So what's the antidote? The bible says if you're walking in darkness without a ray of light, trust in the lord and rely on your god. In other words, it's a test. It's only a test. And God is gonna see when you're under stress, whatever that stress might be, are you going to turn to him and trust him when you're under pressure, or are you gonna do it your way?”
29s
“So here's the problem. Why you got needs that ain't been met yet? Because you don't need to have. a promise that he's given, but here's the problem. Not everybody's need is met. So if god has promised to meet all your needs, why aren't all your needs met? Well, I would just say this. Every promise in the Bible has a premise. Yes. Every promise, there is a condition related to that promise.”
28s
“They will let you down. They will disappoint you, and god will use that to develop your faith because life is often disappointing. Things don't turn out always the way you planned. That's good. In fact, plans don't turn out the way you plan them. But the most disappointing thing I think people wrestle with is is people. Other people. We get disappointed by people in life. And most of the time, it's because we turn to someone else and we expect them to meet needs that only god can meet.”
28s
“You have legitimate needs needs in your life that need to be met. And the problem is, though, is many times you get in a hurry. rush ahead of God. And we do this all the time. We short circuit God's will and God's blessing by going for the cheap fix, the quick thrill, the shortcut. And as a result of this, we don't wait for God's will in our life, and we end up actually creating more pressure down the road and less ability to handle it.”
21s
“"And when Peter got up and preached the first sermon in Acts chapter 2 to the church, this first gospel message, he said this in Acts 2.41 when he gave the invitation. It says, those who accepted his message were baptized. Hey, I've received this. What do I do about it? I get baptized. About 3,000 were added to their number that day."”
31s
“"And when we actually choose to follow Christ, I'm not saying, I decide I'm just going to believe there is a Jesus. Well, the devil's believing. I'm not going to believe that and tremble. But they don't obey. They're in rebellion. I feel like I'm talking to some folks today that if you would just surrender your rebellion to Jesus, he's going to open opportunities to you. See, when we are surrendering to Jesus, what we're doing is we're surrendering to the Lordship."”
32s
“"And I would say, listen, obedience is not something that you should pray about. If God says it to you, you don't have to debate it or think about it. If you haven't been baptized, let me just say, next Sunday's your day. Next Sunday's your day. Obedience now leads to opportunities later. Don't miss that. You need to write that down. It ain't in your outline. People are missing opportunities because they're not obedient now."”
18s
“"And so I don't want you coming next Sunday and watching a baptism and then slipping out quickly. Man, I want you to go to the cafe and flood it where they're going to be. And it takes them a second or two to get dried off. And we want to celebrate and welcome them into the family. Amen. Amen. It's something that we enjoy, we celebrate."”
24s
“"And so what you'll hear me say a lot of times is that I'm a Christ follower. And that's what I want to talk about today is are you following Christ? In fact, the moves I'm talking about and following him is not complex. Today I'm talking about following him in the beginning basic moves. Everybody can do this move, and that is baptism."”
36s
“"How many of you know the Father already loved the Son before the baptism? But when you take a step of obedience, it pleases the Father, and he starts showing his favor publicly. When I do a step of obedience in quiet, well, Lord, I'm just gonna, you wanted me to give this to that person, and I'm just gonna do it. I'm just gonna give it. Nobody's gonna know what my right hand, left hand is doing. I'm gonna do it because I'm being obedient to you, Lord. The Father who sees in secret talks about it openly."”
