Sermon clips from North Central churches

71s
“``In this passage, Jesus says that he is gentle and humble. Maybe some of you are are thinking that Jesus doesn't want you to come to him. Maybe you are carrying some stuff or or you feel like your past is not worthy of of giving that to Christ. May I point you back to his word, and he tells us that he is humble, gentle, and lowly. He receives us not at our best, not when you've cleaned yourself up, not when your life is looking good and you're feeling content and you wanna come to him. He receives you at your worst. He says, come to me. If you're weary and you're burdened, at your worst, he receives you, church. He's not waiting for you to figure anything out. He's not waiting for you. He just says, come.”

“A disturbance that comes into our lives that lights some fires. He states in a way that cannot be misunderstood. I wish we could say, well, he was just not thinking when he said that or or the gospel readers, you know, weren't listening well and they just misinterpreted. No. Jesus literally said that if we love father, mother, son, or daughter more than we love him, we're not fit to be his disciples. You all feel good about that one? And it gets better. Then he follows that up with, oh, and then. Not only that, you wanna be my disciple, you need to take up your cross. You need to follow me. I'm about to go to the cross to be crucified. You wanna be my disciple, you're gonna give of yourself for the sake of others. You're gonna go that extra mile. You're gonna bend over backwards to share the love of God in every situation that you possibly can. And when you do so, you won't lose your life, you'll find it.”

“And George was definitely disappointed when his big magical watermelons were actually cucumbers. Some of us are growing something right now that is going to be something totally different than we expected. Maybe we're raising a child that grows up to be someone different than we imagined that they would be when they were little. Maybe we're raising three different children and all three of them seem like very different people every day when we wake up in the morning. Maybe we're starting a new program or fixing up a building or making a new relationship, trying to invest in new leaders, and those people and programs and buildings are just not what we thought they would be. And there is a huge temptation that when things are different than our expectations, we stop going out to make sure that they are fed and watered and protected.”
77s
“How about one more for you? You can just chew in on this. This was actually Redeemer's theme from last year. We talked about this a lot. Two Greek words for time, kronos and kairos. They both mean time but they're different types of time. So Kronos means time but that's like your schedule. Right? That's like, hey, can we meet in fifteen minutes? Or hey, I have to be somewhere Tuesday but I can meet up with you Thursday. Right? This is the concrete Google Calendar schedule that you have. Kairos is those moments that have meaning. Right? And so the Greeks realized that some types of time were more meaningful than others. So the example I used all last year, I'll use it again with you today, is like a Kronos moment might be the graduation takes place at 7PM. A Kronos moment might be my granddaughter is graduating from high school at 7PM. You all see the difference between the two? One's more though the reality logistical, the other's the deep meaning of it. And what the Greeks tried to do back in the day that you are called to do as well is to look at which ones are actually kairos moments which really matter and which ones are those kronos moments that, yes, you're late, but in the big picture of things, does it really matter all that much?”
78s
“That the gospel never depended on numbers. It has never depended on youth or strength or institutional power. It depends on God's faithfulness us. It depends on trust. It depends on the quiet urge to say we belong to Christ and Christ is not under us yet. And I want to say something to you today, gently. Sometimes the most powerful proclamation of the gospel comes from communities that the world overlooks, communities that the world underestimates, communities that the world assumes are faking even as God is doing something vi and holy. There's particular beauty in the congregation that this weather storm that has endured change, that has seen pastors come and go, that has watched the neighborhood shift around them and has still gathered, still pray, still serve, still opposed to a vision. That kind of faithfulness is not small, it's not insignificant, and it certainly isn't fragile.”
76s
“``He says his yoke is comfortable. This is interesting to me. His yoke is comfortable. There's nothing comfortable about following Christ. I'm not saying that. There's nothing easy about giving yourself to another, about dying to yourself. But the word comfortable is similar to fitting, suitable, well fitting. I heard it described this this week. It's almost like the yoke that Jesus is describing is custom fit. It's custom made. So so what this means for me, when I come to Christ with my weariness and my burden and my brokenness, he is not just shoving me into some uncomfortable yoke that that doesn't fit me, that's not for me, that's not my size. He knows exactly what I need in order for me to follow him. Church, Jesus' yoke is fitting for you. Maybe you think you're not ready to follow him or you're not ready to surrender. He has a yoke that is is ready to receive you right where you are.”
65s
“``And I think all of these things sum up that Jesus carries the burden of being the savior. are not the savior of your own life. You cannot be the savior of your own life. It's an impossible burden. If you are trying on your own through self reliance and self will in your own ways to accomplish something in life, to find rest in life, to find meaning, significance, to be right with God, You're trying to be your own savior through your habits, maybe through your things that you do, how you live your life. It's a burden that you can't carry. Jesus is the rest that our soul needs, church. So my question for you is what burden does he need to carry for you today? What did you carry in here that is a burden that is too heavy, that doesn't seem to ever be lifted?”
54s
“``Even things that look good on the outside I'm speaking to church people. Even things that look good on the outside can be wearisome and burdensome yokes. Religious striving, trying to do religious things, making your life look like you're a good Christian. Maybe it's legalism. I'm gonna do all these things, don't do all these things, and judge people that are different. Both of these cause spiritual burden and exhaustion. And I think what all these things are tied to is there's a an element of self reliance. We're relying on ourselves to accomplish things, to find rest. The yokes of the world promise life, but they leave us weary because they ask us to carry a burden that God never intended for us to carry.”
71s
“Remember the story about the the hog and the chicken who were in the farm house and they were talking and they saw the farmer walking across the way. It was early in the morning and they started talking and the chicken said, oh, I wonder what he wants for breakfast. And the hog said, I don't know. What are you thinking? She said, the chicken goes, you know, I think you should have ham and eggs. And the hog looks at the chicken and said, well, that's easy for you. That's only a partial commitment. Jesus is calling on us as his followers to step into the deep end and to make a full commitment of giving our lives in service to the kingdom, and that is not easy. We live in a world where giving self to others seems like nonsense. Putting Christ first and foremost is gonna put us in conflict with the world. He talks about that. He lets them know this ain't gonna be easy. It'll often bring criticism. It'll bring ridicule, But Christ calls us and promises us. Whoever loses their life for my sake will find life and will share in the kingdom of God.”
54s
“And I was grumpy all week about moving those mattresses and God delivered one of them, basically smack across my face. We don't always get the benefit of that clarity but I am here to tell you that the good things growing here grow everywhere. And they grow to the benefit of all of our good work, but only because God is the one that makes them grow. And so we work in that knowledge but we also get to rest in that knowledge. That God is the one that holds our future, that grows all good things.”
