Sermon clips from Newington churches

35s
“When God created in those first six days of existence, In those six days of creations when when of creation. When he created, everything he did was good. All the way perfectly pure, wonderful, good, beautiful, abundant in every way, it was good. And in his actions, he blessed. So here's the idea. When God introduced himself to his creation, he said, I'm a blesser.”
29s
“Satan came in and said, no, he's a liar. He's an oppressor. He's a tyrant. He's a judge. You know, he I mean, all of these negative perceptions of God. And God fulfills the role of judge and there are some negative aspects to that if you reject him. But here it is, when God introduced himself to his creation, he said, I'm a blesser. I'm good and I wanna do good things.”
30s
“It's so much bigger than that. It may not be less than some of those things, but it is so much bigger than that. It's not merely prosperity or God making me happy or pleasing me or merely fulfilling my personal desires or pleasures. God's blessing is bigger than that and it's always attached. It's always attached to God's purposes. It's always attached to what God has given me to be and do in life, divine purposes.”
26s
“So my friends, it is God's nature and desire and heart to bless. And any picture, any image you have of God that doesn't start there, it's a false image. Any picture you have of God, any sense that you have of him that doesn't begin and and and have a strong foundation that this God is good, that this God is loving and lavish and generous and he wants to bless, it is a false image of God.”
24s
“"Every time you make a choice, you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all of your innumerable choices, all of your life long, you are slowly turning this central thing into either a heavenly creature or a hellish creature."”
33s
“"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and you want to write that down. You want to find that. You want to just remember that, because this is speaking, too, the attitude. Do we, the attitude that we have of God, how we view ourselves in light of God. Are we in awe of God? Do we adore God? Do we, do we fall down and, and worship God? Or are we in awe of ourselves? Or in awe of our ability? Do we depend on ourselves to do the next right thing?"”
17s
“"Wisdom is the ability to get all the knowledge together and press it through biblical principles in order to make skillful decisions right. So it's the ability to get all this information together press it through biblical principles in order to make skillful decisions for your life."”
25s
“"Life is like a faith walk. And all throughout the book of Proverbs, there is this metaphor that the Bible gives us in order to help us understand our life, which is such a helpful metaphor. It's the metaphor that life is like a path. And every path is a little bit different. Paths, some paths are rough. Some paths are steep. Some paths are straight. Some paths are smooth. Every path, your, everybody's life is a little bit different."”
32s
“"What I hope is that the message that you hear today would give you kind of a grid or an orientation around how to frame your difficulty, your trial, your burden in a way that helps you understand it, but you might ask questions about the Lord that just might send you down the wrong path. Here's what you need to know about God. God is not afraid of your questions. He welcomes your questions, and if you press through your questions from His Word, you'll discover that God is just a good God."”
13s
“"Jesus said this. I've come to give life, that they may have it more abundantly. He said this. He said, in this world, you're going to experience trials. But be of good cheer. I have overcome the world."”
