Sermon clips from Oakmont churches

62s
“And this is a good moment to to just realize, and it's not just for preachers or evangelists, but it's for you too. Gospel is not a call. To be a follower of Jesus, you are called, Jesus said, take up your cross and follow me. Carrying a cross wasn't comfortable. And following Jesus, it was never a life in a La Z Boy. It was a life to say, I will go wherever. I will do whatever you ask me to. Show me the way. And he asks us sometimes to walk roads that we didn't put on our Christmas wish list. Okay? Remember, don't get comfortable.”
40s
“And my hope is that my family and this church family have witnessed a husband, father, pastor, friend, and Jesus follower who was the same man on this stage as I was in the privacy of my own home, in line at the grocery store, waiting in traffic, and in other private gatherings. My aim was to be a leader of integrity who modeled how to shine the love of Jesus through a redeemed yet beautifully broken vessel. Whenever and wherever God chooses to place us to serve next, we will carry our many life giving experiences from this place with us.”
41s
“But here's a better question. When was the last time you had urgency to run and tell someone about Jesus? Right? When was the last time you thought of somebody in your life that didn't know Jesus? And what that means is that person does not know what it means to be forgiven and free. They don't know what it's like to live with hope, a lasting hope. When was the last time you thought of someone and you're like, I gotta run to tell them.”
46s
“I've heard it as as like, I've heard the illustration that, you know, it's like if you had the cure if you had the cure to a disease, a deadly disease, and you were holding it, and there was a group of people and all they needed you to do was take it and get to that place to give it to them, how long would you take? It's urgent. It's urgent that you tell somebody about Jesus. It's urgent that you pray for people. The good news is urgent news. Just like Philip running.”
48s
“"You might say, well, that's a pretty daunting list. And I would agree with you. It's a very daunting list. You might even go as far as to say to live like this. I mean, I would need to be transformed. I would need to be totally different than I am right now. I would need to be transformed. This requires some kind of big personal transformation. God knows. He's not commanding this to set us up to fail. Romans chapter 12, verse 2 says this. Do not conform to the patterns of this world. But, you ready for this? Be transformed. By the renewal. By the renewing of your mind."”
66s
“"This is the picture that God is painting for the Christian life in how it is supposed to look. This is nonconformity to the world. Nonconformity looks like sincerity. Necessarity, morality, affection, honor, zeal, hope, generosity, hospitality, blessing, empathy, harmony, humility, service. Look at this amazing picture. And keep these up for a second here. God wants you to receive this. Just let that exist. He wants you to. Receive sincerity from other people. God wants you to receive sincerity, morality, affection, honor, them showing zeal for the Lord, hope, generosity, hospitality, blessing, empathy, harmony, humility, and service. That's what God wants for you."”
43s
“"Humility is the other side of honor. Honor is the ability to lift people up, and humility is the ability to personally lower myself. And I'm lowering myself and humbling myself that I'm seeing everyone eye to eye. There is no one who I am standing above. So much so that we can relate and care for and be with and love every person from every social stratus structure. That's what the scripture says. Be willing to associate with people, all people, even those of low position. Do not be conceited."”
40s
“"God wants something different from his people. He wants his people to be showing harmony and seeking and fighting for harmony. I thought of some questions with harmony. What are people doing that promotes division? Being able to identify those things. And then this, am I participating and perpetuating that division? Can we think in terms of this? Am I participating and perpetuating in division if I post that, if I like that, if I do that, if I say that?"”
28s
“"God wants you to be a secure person. He wants you to be a satisfied person. He doesn't want you to be a dissatisfied person, an insecure person. That's why he has given you everything you need in your relationship with him. That it frees you to empathize with people, both in their successes and in their losses. Amen? We're painting a beautiful picture here. Can you see it? Are you getting a picture of what God's heart is for people? I'm so captured by these verses."”
44s
“"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil. Cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice. Mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with one another with people of low position. Do not be conceited."”
