Sermon clips from New Braunfels churches

36s
“And one might ask, well, how do we do that? Well, the New Testament gives us a number of a text that show us how one ought to dress before the king. And the first thing needs to be, are you clothed in Christ? Are you dressed in Christ? When we show up to the wedding banquet, we must be clothed in one thing, and that is Christ himself. Paul says this multiple times in the New Testament. Put on Christ. Put off the old self. Can't get get get to the kingdom with your old self. You gotta put off your old self. Put on Christ.”
36s
“``you know, I like what Billy touched on there as far as when he mentioned who you're hanging out with. I'll take that a little bit further as well, Billy. And and the fact that in our our Sunday school class in Ascend youth group, we talk about garbage in, garbage out. You guys remember that? The garbage you're taking into your eyes, the garbage that you're taking into your ears, well, that's just not at the the middle school level. That's just not at the high school level. That's not even at the college level. We all can take that in as a bit of a cautionary tale.”
31s
“Oh, what does that mean? That means you can't just presume on grace without faith. You can't just say, well, I'm gonna get there because I'm gonna get to the door. And and before I get in, God's gonna throw me that robe of Christ. I'm gonna put it on. I'm gonna skate right in there. So, well, the merits over the lamb states that you're gonna be clothed in white robes which are the righteous deeds of the saints. I mean, commentators like, well, which one is it? Can it be is it this one? Is it the is it the imputation of Christ and his righteousness clothed on the sinner? Is it the righteous deeds of the same? And we're gonna think, why is it not both?”
27s
“And I find this very compelling because today there are people all around the things of God, near the people of God, talking like they know the things of God, and yet are completely spiritually unprepared to stand before God. They are present. Listen to me, church. They are present, but they're not prepared. The present I mean, there are people in this area. You're present. I know you're here, but are you prepared? Are you ready?”
36s
“We need to focus on that because the parable isn't about wedding etiquette. I mean, you're gonna see some things that sound a little bit like a wedding etiquette, but it's a parable. Right? It it's it's telling us a story that aligns this parable with real things in reality that we really deal with. And so we do see things like the wedding etiquette of an invitation and recept and receiving a wedding invitation, a guy and how he dresses. But it's it's it's not about wedding etiquette. It's about humanity's rejection of God's invitation to honor the sun. That's what this whole thing's about.”
20s
“"The fruit of our lives, it identifies which seed, which offspring, which brood that we belong to. Are we a brood of God? Are we a brood of the serpent? Either we're children of God, or children of the slanderer. And it's out of the treasury of our hearts that we give away our true identity."”
34s
“"Because it is out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Out of the well of the heart springs forth all kinds of things, depending on the nature of a person's heart. Verse 35 says this, Now I want to pause and look at this. Verse 35, The good person, we're not saying the good as in their righteousness of themselves, but the person who's been transformed, by the gospel of Jesus Christ, endowed with the Holy Spirit, out of the good treasure, brings forth good."”
21s
“"It can only produce that which it is linked to, the heart. And so if you have a heart that's been transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ, and you turn that faucet on, those are the kind of things that are coming out of your mouth. Things that are glorifying to God. Things that build up and not tear down. Things that encourage the saints. Things that encourage your spouse and your kiddos."”
24s
“"I'll give you a test. If you were to record and catalog every word you said this week, and you were to open that catalog, and you were to look at that catalog, and you were to read over every sentence, and every word, and every phrase that you spoke this week, what would that catalog reveal about the kind of fruit you have, and what would that fruit say about your heart?"”
25s
“"Jesus says it in very plain language at the end of verse 33. For the tree is known by its fruit. We can be known and really understood, known and truly perceived as we really are, if we see how we speak. If we look at how people speak, we can genuinely know the kind of person they are in their heart."”
