Sermon clips from Middle Island churches

56s
“But what's the point? What's the application that we can take from this story here? Well, the first thing is we need to be prepared for god to work in our lives. Oftentimes, we are called to do things before we know the full picture or what the potential outcome will be. But we are to face life expecting, anticipating that God will do what he says he will do. Amen? That he will do exactly what it is that he said he'll do. We're called to trust I wanna ask, are you ready to see god work? Are you so overwhelmed by the circumstances in front of you that you miss what God is doing?”

“And Tim Keller said this, and this is for me for me, such a convicting, such a encouragement, such a spur on kind of statement. Parents are to be the primary storytellers of God's faithfulness. And so what story are you telling your kids or going to tell your kids? What memorial will we point them to and say, this is this is when god did dot dot dot. This is what god did in this situation. This is how god moved in this circumstance in our lives.”

“Forgetfulness is one of the greatest enemies of faith. When we forget what god has done in our lives, it makes it so much harder to be to have faith and to trust that he's gonna do what he says he's gonna do. The great thing about the 12 stones is that they were there to be a reminder of what God had done that day. What's your 12 stones? What's your amazing story of what God has done, big or small, that God did that leads you to be encouraged to trust him more and more each day.”

“Israel could have easily Joshua could have easily walked up to that river and be like, God, this is not you not see? It's at flood stage. It's harvest time. This this river is raging. There's no way would I guess we're gonna have to wait. But instead, god says, no. No. No. With the ark, go, and you will cross. Are you looking at your circumstances to to be super cliche? Are you looking at the mountain and saying, god, look how big this mountain is is? Or are saying, mountain, look how big my god is?”
