Sermon clips from Middletown churches

36s
“A mother's love wouldn't let her leave him there on that cross. And while I'm grateful for a mother's love, I'm also grateful for my master's love because he didn't have to die for me. He didn't have to shed his blood for me. He didn't have to come down. He could've come down off that cross just to save himself. He took those stripes for me. He shed his blood for me. He died on that cross for me. He was buried in a tomb for me, and he rose early on Sunday morning just for me. And I'm so grateful”
49s
“From that day to this day, nobody could convince me that God doesn't know what you need, and that you couldn't tell me he won't supply because he will. Oh, hallelujah. He said he would supply all your needs according to his riches and glory. Oh, hallelujah. I'm not for saying I want you to have a need. No way. I like things being paid. I I like a little extra in my pocket. Everybody does. But it's really good to know that your God is sufficient, and he'll be there when you need him. Oh, hallelujah. You can count on it. Thank you, lord. Thank you, lord. Oh, hallelujah. Yes.”
35s
“God, I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. I thank you. So let me encourage you all today. Whether your mother is present in the service or whether she's present in the spirit of God, you're still blessed. Because who would have thought after the hard time that I had losing my mother that he would allow me to stand on this Mother's Day and preach of his goodness. So just know if he can give me the strength, if he could do it for me, he can most definitely do it for you.”
30s
“Verse three tells us that when Moses was around three months old, she could no longer hide him. So she got a basket of strong vines and coated it with tar and pitch and waterproofed it. And because of her love for him, she swaddled up her son. Can you imagine? She swaddled up her son, put him in a basket, and placed him in the Nile River. Right. Amen. In my mind, this is an act of crazy faith in God. Yeah.”
24s
“That means you gotta see it before you see it or you never will see it. Yocobed had the kind of faith that said there is purpose for my child's life. The only way for me to make sure that he can walk in it is to sacrifice what I want and give him a chance to live. I'm placing my child in God's hand.”
62s
“And I was thinking yesterday as I was trying to wrap this sermon up. The United States is a ripe harvest field right now. Not used to, but right now. Oh, let's get closer. Middletown is a ripe harvest field. Now quite frankly, if the lord told me to go to Africa, I go even at this stage. I'm not looking for him to tell me to do that, but I know that I can win somebody right out here. I know I can. So let's not forget that the Lord said, go into all the world. That's us, and this is part of the world. And we all need to be sure that we do our part.”
40s
“That train up means to hedge up or hedge in. Put it in a spot where it can't be moved. Or you might say it another way, put a fence around him, a fence of the word so that it's in him, in him, around him till he cannot get away from it. And my mother just really trained him up. All she knew was show them and tell them. Show them and tell them. And she did that all the time. She took advantage of every time that god moved and you could see it.”
31s
“And Jesus said, and lo, I am with you always even to the end of the world. Oh, hallelujah. He's coming soon. He's coming soon. We can't wait around too long. We've got to get them in. No. The harvest is still waiting for us. Let's go after them. Let's do our parts. Oh, hallelujah. We want to win them, but we want to win those here.”
15s
“"Wherefore, seeing since we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin with us so easily beset us and let us run with patience, the race that is set before us. And let us run with patience, the race that is set before us."”
16s
“"We don't want to be those who just keep starting and stopping. We want to be those who continue faithfully and don't draw back and renounce all the things that you know are true, but just continue faithfully in faith unto the Lord."”
