Sermon clips from New Brighton churches

46s
“The feast has been prepared. The celebration is set. God needs nothing from you. His invitation is clear. His desire is for you to come and to enjoy what he has made. I love at the end of verse four. He says, my oxen, my fattened livestock, they're all butchered. Everything's ready. Come to the wedding feast. It's why as I often share as kind of a working definition when we think about grace. Grace is simply god doing for you, giving to you something that you do not deserve. This is grace.”
42s
“We're we're not having to live according to a way that we can't ever measure up to or achieve, but there is still truth. But thanks be to God in Jesus, we also see grace. So we have a sense of reality, a sense of definition, a sense of meaning, of standard and expectation. And yet in Jesus, we also realize that grace doesn't exist alone. And so we're not living a life of deception, of moral compromise. What we have is the hope of a wedding feast. Because Jesus is the condition of God's unconditional love.”
40s
“Rather than receiving something that we don't deserve, a truthless grace turns into receiving whatever you feel you deserve. You see, the very thing that makes grace so amazing is that it is received within the boundaries of truth. So instead of ignoring or or or dismissing reality, grace becomes powerful. It becomes transformational when mercy meets us in our brokenness. We we talked a lot about mercy over the last many weeks in Romans chapter 12.”
39s
“This is why we don't want truth with grace, because we want grace to be redefined. We don't want grace to have boundaries. We don't want grace to give us a measure of definition or direction. We want grace to basically give us whatever we want. But the promise of this paradox is that truth and grace meet in the person of Jesus. So here's what's so great in Christ. It means that truth doesn't exist alone, friends. It means that our lives aren't ordered under the idea of legalism and defeat only.”
25s
“"And even in Joel, as we look this morning, we see the promise of the Spirit of God being poured out upon those who put their faith and trust in Jesus. What is so beautiful about Joel 2, verse 28 is that it is a known promise fulfilled. Jesus Christ came. He died. He gave his life for our sin. And through his resurrection, we have the confidence of his divinity and his awesome power."”
34s
“"So when we think of it in this way, God has already judged against us. It's the overflow of a rebellious heart. And this pattern goes all the way back to Eden when God judged Adam and Eve for their selfishness and their pride of wanting to be like God themselves. And he severed them from life by removing them from his presence. What has been will be again. But we also see in this pattern of history the gracious provision of God. What has been will be again."”
23s
“"So when we turn to Joel and we look at these first two chapters, the locust presents us with an image of what the day had looked like, while the second chapter will present us with an image of what the day could look like, this invading army. But both of these things are meant to do one thing and one thing only, which is to awaken the heart to repentance."”
39s
“"The devastation upon the land gripped the hearts of the people to mourn over what was lost. And just for a visual reference real quick, we have to see for ourselves just how vast and overwhelming these locusts can be. I mean, this is just one small picture, a small pane that can't capture the totality of the sky, and the horizon, but you can appreciate just how numerous they are. These locusts swell up to such an extent and they swarm in such a way, you can find pictures of this, that you can understand why the biblical language of locusts even includes the idea of darkening the sky."”
32s
“"God wants us to rend our hearts and not our garments, which means he doesn't want us to keep performing religious things and doing good works. He wants us to repent. He wants us to tear our hearts in two with genuine sorrow over our sins. That's what it means to rend. It means to kind of tear into two pieces. And so when we rend our hearts, we are doing this because we have a genuine understanding of who we are in light of who he is."”
40s
“"On this day, friends, on this day, the only thing that will matter is what you decide to do with Jesus Christ. He is the difference maker on the day of the Lord. The judgment we deserve or the promises we receive all run through Christ. Jesus is on his throne, and when he comes again, friends, it will not be as a humble servant. It will be as a conquering king. And so the time is now. Your day is now to receive what God has given to you in full."”
