Sermon clips from Newtown churches

39s
“You would, and you know you would, and I would too, and I know that I would. I know because I grumble now. I complain now about my circumstances. And so, know that that you and it doesn't work to say, well, if I had seen the things that they saw, like, look at the amazing things that they saw. If I saw stuff like that, that would be enough. No. It wouldn't. Because I would argue that we have something even better. We have something even better. If you're a believer in Christ, we we have the holy spirit of God dwelling in us personally.”
35s
“And what they're grumbling reveals what I think what complaining always reveals is a discontentment with God. It reveals a discontentment with God's plan, with his provisions, what he's doing. It's a dissatisfaction with God. It means that we want something different from him than what he's providing. And so our their grumbling, our own grumbling, lets us kinda peek behind the curtain a little bit and see that there are deeper questions there. What we're really saying is, is God good? Is God really good? Can he really be trusted?”
37s
“How many times has he abandoned you? How many times has he turned his back on you because of your complaining or because of your rebellion? The answer is zero. He has never done that. He's never turned his back on you. That's not him. That's not what he does. Your circumstances may have changed for the negative. Like, there may be a punishment. There may be a consequence that you've had to endure just like this particular generation dying out in the wilderness, just like Moses, not being able to go into the land. So God may discipline you, but he's never abandoned you. He never has and he never will. Why?”
26s
“In his goodness, not because we deserved it, but solely because God is slow to anger, solely because he is abounding in steadfast love, in his mercy, God made a way for us to be saved when there was nothing in us but grumbling and disobedience and sin. That is the kind of good and gracious God that we serve and that we worship this morning.”
37s
“"That type of gentleness is not from us. That type of gentleness, the one that Paul wrote about using this Greek word prautes, is only through the Holy Spirit working through us to do that, to help us reach and talk to others and everything. And yes, sometimes that velvet hammer maybe has to come down a little harder. The velvet's still on it, by the way, but maybe it has to tap a little. It has to tap a little harder for that individual or that situation. But it's still out of humility and love for that person."”
45s
“"Our goal is to win the person, not the argument. Our goal is about winning the person over and that they would see the truth. Or in 1 Peter, when we answer someone who asks us to defend our faith, why do you believe in Jesus? That's just nonsense. Science has proved, you know, there are tons of books that scientists have proved God couldn't possibly exist. Let's look at that gently. In James, James tells us to instruct us to be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger."”
31s
“"It's the restrained and obedient powers of the personality brought into subjection and submission to God's will by the Holy Spirit. Again, it's taking me as God's giving me the fruits of the Spirit, pushing me aside, because I want God to shine, and I want His Spirit to be working in my life. So taking me, while I may hear something that hurtful, putting that aside, because I want God's Spirit to be in control of what do I say to this person next."”
33s
“"It's the ability to bear reproaches and slights without bitterness or resent. As I said, it's the wise man who can be gentle in the midst of insults being hurdled at him. We've probably all had an opportunity where someone accused us wrongly. Called us names, said words to us that were hurtful, that were painful, and you sat there, and maybe as it boiled up in you, you wanted to lash out. And you want to say, oh, yeah? But you, let me tell you how crummy you are."”
47s
“"These aren't things that we can decide. But the Greek word pronounced praotites means a couple of things. It's pretty a complex word, actually. It means it appears about nine times in this letter, and it can be translated as gentleness, meekness, humbleness. It's got a couple of different elements to it. So in secular Greek, it was used to describe mild words, soothing medicine, tame animals, benevolent people. For example, it could be used to describe a gentle breeze, or placing a soothing cream on a wound, or the feeling of sitting next to a purring lion cub if you choose to do that."”
23s
“"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these verses, put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."”
