Sermon clips from New Franklin churches

58s
“The sponge would get wet. Right? But it would not take in any water unless I did what? Let go. And folks, that's that's how you and I experience being filled with the spirit. It happens not because we are hanging tight, It happens because we let go. We let go and the spirit now has room in our heart to fill us. We have to let go. And when we let go, he fills us. He does it to us. But as long as we're trying to hang on and be the one who's sitting on the throne in our heart, he can't be in control.”
44s
“This is the carnal person. Now, notice what happens inside the carnal person. Their throne, their sinful nature is still sitting on the throne. God's spirit is with them. God's spirit is in them. But they are choosing to let the sinful nature be in control of their life. And notice what happens to the blue dots. They're chaotic again. Life is now random again. Life life the the the peace of life and and some of the purpose in life has been lost because their sinful nature is is back on the throne.”
43s
“When God wants me to experience the fruit of the spirit called love, oftentimes he places me around people who are hard to love. He doesn't necessarily place me with the people who are easy to love, who I know will love me back. I get a taste of that. We all get a taste of that. But that's not the fruit of the spirit of love. The the the fruit of the spirit called love shines its best when we're with people who are hard to love and we're loving them.”
44s
“This is what we're aiming for. This is what we're trying to do. And so, if you're looking at your life and you're saying, oh my gosh, my sins are forgiven in the past and I know that I'm going to go to heaven. I believe in Jesus, but why? Why can I not experience the love, the joy, the peace, the goodness, the kindness, the faithfulness, the gentleness, the faith, the the the self control? Why can't where is that at? Here's where it's at. This is where it is the holy spirit working in us that brings these things to pass.”

#privateAndPublicWorship
“How can we say how how could we look at someone and say, hey, you know what? Worshiping the Lord once a week and ignoring him the rest of the week, you're good. It's all good. That's the proper way to worship the Lord. We would never say that. But do you mean to tell me we would look at someone who says, I pray and read my bible every day but I never go to church, that we would look at them and say, that's good. That's the proper way to worship the Lord. Folks, they complement each other.”
34s
#worshipNotPreferences
“And you know what? If we're not careful, we're gonna do the same thing because here's what we do too many times. Too many times we don't worship him as he told us to worship him. We worship him with our preferences. I prefer to do it this way. I still believe in God. I still show up to the activities. I still but you know what God? I'm not gonna make that sacrifice. I'm not I'm not gonna sacrifice that. That's my preference. But I still love you. I still sing about you. And God says, that's in vain. That's in vain.”
51s
#TimeIsIrreplaceable
“Many things can be regained in life. Have you noticed this? You can lose money, but you know what? That's okay. Why? Because you can make more money. You can lose a job. That's okay. You can get another job. Why? We can even lose our health sometimes. It's okay. We can get healthy again in many cases. We can have relationships that break. But with time, some of those relationships can be restored. There are a lot of things in life that we can lose and regain. Time's just not one of them. Once we lose time, it's gone, and we can never regain it.”
36s
#StewardYourTime
“Work and time. God gives us work to do, but he also gives us the time with which to do it. And that's why time is so important. And could it be possible for you and I one day to be able to pray, Lord, I've done the work you gave me to do. The time you gave me, I used it wisely, and I accomplished what you gave me to do.”
53s
#SeekingGodMeansChange
“Me saying that creates worry for some of you right now. The idea that if I want to worry less means that I need to seek him first, wow, that means something in my life's got to change, and that alone creates worry. That alone, I mean, I'm not measuring up. I'm not doing enough. Oh my goodness, he's not first. What have I got to do different? What have I got to change? What have I, what's, what's going to be different now in my life? When it talks about Jesus's priorities, it's talking about his, his kingdom.”
38s
#TrustLikeTheBirds
“We would never say it. We may never actually think it. But we would begin to live that way. Like, God's really not going to be there for me. I've got to figure this out. I've got to figure it out. Jesus uses the examples of birds and flowers to talk about the uselessness of worry and the uselessness of believing that God wouldn't take care of you. And when he talks about birds, it says, you know, birds, they don't farm. Basically, that's what he's saying. You'll never see a bird out planting seed. No, they're eating the seed we leave for them out in our yard, in our bird feeders.”
