Sermon clips from Morrilton churches

33s
“So be a living sacrifice. Live for God. Live in a way which is pleasing to him. This is an act of worship. If we're giving our all, he loves it. If we're giving mare minimum, he wants more. So let's live for Christ. Let's be the living sacrifice we have been called to be. We don't need to focus on ourselves, but rather we need to focus on the one upstairs. We need to focus on him and see what he wants from us.”
29s
“Temptations are going to come. People are gonna try to conform us. The world is gonna try to conform us. The question is, do you wanna be conformed? It says it right here. If we don't wanna be conformed, God's given us a way of escape. We don't have to be conformed. In every temptation, it's common to us, but God knows that and he's given us a way of escape. If we're being transformed, if we truly not don't wanna be conformed to this world, look for that escape.”
31s
“``Do not be conformed to this world. We do not need to fall into what the world says is right and wrong. Let's look at what conformed means. Conformed means to live to live act in accordance with prevailing standards or customs. Our prevailing standards and customs are flawed. The world is flawed. What is right and wrong in the world's eye, it is flawed. Those standards are not right. Only standards that we should be living by, that we need to be going by is what God says is right and wrong.”
28s
“We've all heard of sacrifice before. Right? Oftentimes, when we think of sacrifice, we think of the goat on the altar, something that affects. We think of people throwing chickens into a volcano. Right? Those are sacrifices we might think of, but those are dead sacrifices. Sure. They were alive before they died, but they die. Right? They're dead sacrifices. We're not told to be dead sacrifice. We're not told to go kill ourselves on an altar such as that. We are rather told to be living sacrifices.”
56s
“"You've got to let go of the old life to grab a hold of the new life that He is calling you to. Let's call the musicians back up. We're going to have a time of invitation. This is discipleship. This is what it means to be a disciple. We're going to have more lessons on this in the coming weeks. We're going to look at this in a little bit more depth. We're going to see some more examples. But here's the challenge for us today. Jesus doesn't call us to comfort. Although we think He does, He doesn't. He calls us to commit and He calls us to discipleship. And that means saying yes to Him and no to yourself. It means daily taking up your cross and following wherever He leads."”
53s
“"The hard truth here, is that you can't follow Jesus while you're holding on to your life. You can't follow Jesus while you're hanging on to everything else. You can't be His disciples and still live for yourself. Discipleship means letting go. So it's time to ask yourself, what are you holding on to that is keeping you from following Jesus fully? Is there something? When I ask that question, I would think that there ought to be something that comes up in your mind that is so important to you that you know that it's gotten in the way of your relationship with Jesus. If you can't think of something, that doesn't mean you're perfect. That means that you need to really pray and think about this."”
63s
“"To follow Jesus means to model your life after His. That kind of begs the question, do you know what His life was like? Have you read the Gospel accounts of Him? Are you well versed in what the Bible says about Jesus and how He lived? How He treated people? How He loved people? To follow Jesus means to model your life after His, to go where He leads, to surrender control of your life to Him. He also gave us some promises, though. I love it when God does this. He will give us ultimatums and He'll say, look, this is the way it needs to be. If you're going to be My disciple, then you need to do this. But I love it that He doesn't leave it there. He doesn't ever leave it there. He says, look, if you will follow Me, here's what you'll get."”
70s
“"Notice the three things that Jesus requires of his disciples deny yourself take up your cross daily and follow me those three things deny yourself discipleship means that we put what Jesus wants first in our lives it means that we deny the desires that we have to put ourselves first that's hard we don't want to admit that we want everybody else to think oh that we're kind and caring and and thinking of others type of people but we think of ourselves way too much the apostle paul said it this way in philippians 2 verse 3 Nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests, but each of you to the interests of others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus."”
67s
“"Jesus is calling you to a life-changing relationship with him. Life-changing. Just as the Shakespeare book, the life of the Lloyd???. Just like the plumber's apprentice. Not just a salvation, but to discipleship. Remember what I said earlier. I was talking about the difference between being just a Christian and a disciple. You can be a Christian. You can believe in Jesus and accept him as your savior, but if that's as far as you go, you're missing the whole picture. You're missing the boat. It's not just about salvation. It is about salvation. but it's not just about salvation he wants all of you the call to Jesus isn't for the faint of heart it's not an add-on to your life it becomes your life ask yourself today have I responded to that call of discipleship not just to believe in Jesus but to truly follow him with everything you've got"”
41s
“"The call to discipleship is personal, it's costly, and it's the greatest adventure you will ever be on, because it involves your entire self and your entire life. But it's personal, and it's costly. So first of all, the call to discipleship is personal. It's personal. So let's look at it. It says, Then he said to them all, Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. Now, this verse is sandwiched right in the midst of some other things that are happening."”
