Sermon clips from Milwaukie churches

66s
“I think that God's provision, the abundance of his provision would overflow out of his people. And that we would not we would find that the ways of the world barely touch the deepest desires of our heart. But that the way of Jesus doesn't just satisfy your thirst and your hunger, but it overflows out of your life and begins to satisfy the thirst and hunger of the people around you. That's why sometimes we get led into a desert, where we recognize that the world cannot satisfy or sustain. Because sometimes it's only in that place where our pride is broken and revealed, and we come to a place where we're willing and even desperate enough to say, Jesus, I can't do this on my own. I need you.”
61s
“Conviction is proof that the Lord has not given up on you. There's something I would say that if you are if you are convicted, then you're not too far gone. The fact that you still feel conviction means that heaven is still calling you. This is not condemnation, and this isn't this isn't the Lord asking for perfection. He's just asking for surrender. And I made that decision that I feel like we don't need another motivational message. We need fire again.”
43s
“And the refusal to turn away, the refusal to admit, man, I have my own limitations, and I need you God, and the people you've placed in my life seems to be the ultimate act of pride and arrogance. Believing that I'm either too good to need to repent, or that I'm too far gone for God's grace to redeem me, so why would I repent? But there's good news in this. The way of repentance feels like like failure, or losing, or whatever. But the promise for those who humble themselves before God, who repent, is that he will lift us up.”
41s
“When Moses let others hold up his arms, Israel prevailed. The victory didn't come from Moses as the leader, his individual strength, it came through his willingness to be supported by God and others. God doesn't shame us for needing help. He provides the help that we need. And yet, if we're not living in a posture of humility, we won't be positioned to receive it. It's when we stop pretending that we're self sufficient. That God's grace meets us where we've been too proud to ask for it.”
38s
“``God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble. The counterclockwise way of Jesus is humility. And scripture tells us in more than one place that pride pits us against the God of the universe. It's a bad idea to put our fist against the creator of the universe. Not because he's prideful and arrogant himself, but because he designed us to live differently, to be dependent on him, to be dependent on his provision.”
51s
“It's very dangerous to be in a situation where you believe subconsciously that you can live without God. You know, in Judges chapter two, it says that, and eventually a generation that no longer knew the Lord arose. And I pray that in our future, that will not be our portion. May the next generation and the generation after that and the generation after that, may they know the lord. May they know him for who he is. And may we all know the lord in Jesus' name.”
52s
“The convictions you once had, have they begun to fade? You The convictions you had, do you start to ignore them? Sins that you used to look at, Do you find yourself doing things that you once or once spiritually bothered you no matter how big or small? You know, does prayer start to feel optional at times, or do you only pray when you're desperate? You know, has God's voice began to fade into the background noise?”
47s
“You know, the purchase of this building is not merely real estate. It's a legacy, future salvations, the ministry of future children, future marriages, sermons that are to be preached, people that are to be healed, people that are to be brought to the kingdom. You know, sometimes one generation is able to sacrifice for another for another generation to inherit the kingdom of God. So never fear the size of an assignment because there was a time where this might have looked impossible.”
27s
“You have to know that I've learned by the world, I tell you, or not any of the world, they are into the world.Where people at the world are made really critical. I mean they have a lot of wonderful and wonderful. It is a lot of great things because there are many of them in their own but the important thing was a lot of good things.”
23s
“You know what I mean to do, and I mean what I mean to do is the truth and I don't really tell you do something so I'm just a little bit of that phrase that I really do in the Bible go to the Blink, go to the TV, go to the TV, go to the TV, go to the TV, and what I mean to do is learn as you can do, and what I mean to do. It's a great thing.”
