Sermon clips from Oconomowoc churches

43s
“You see, Tabitha being raised from the dead wasn't about Tabitha. Peter doing it wasn't really about Peter. It was all putting the power of Jesus on display. This was all pointing to Jesus. See, Tabitha's suffering was the platform for God's power, and we have to ask ourselves, the way that I suffer in this life, am I willing to let it be a platform for the power of God in the world around me? And I'm not here to say that your suffering doesn't hurt. It does hurt. It is painful.”
34s
“The truth is about great love and great suffering is those are really our only two options for being transformed in this life. Great love has a way of just when we experience great love from another person and from God, it opens us up to being changed. And when we experience great suffering, the failures in this life, it has a way of breaking us open, and then we're open for God. And I love this quote from Leonard Cohen when he says that there's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.”
31s
“By the way, if you were making up the scripture, you would never include this in the bible that Jesus did this. Because if you really read it objectively, it seems very passionate for him to slow down and talk to somebody, heal somebody when this other situation urgently needs him. But you see, Jesus Jesus' lack of urgency was giving time for the little girl to die because he was saying, I'm not gonna show you that I can heal the sick. I'm gonna show you that I can raise the dead.”
30s
“And when you go to a Motel six, you gotta remember something. You're at a Motel six. You can't expect it to be a five star hotel. Because when you walk into the motel six, if you call the front desk and say, man, there's water stains on the wall and blood stains on the carpet, they're gonna go, yeah, you're at a motel six. And if you call the front desk at the motel six and say, hey, I'd like to order room service, they're gonna be like, yeah, get a Hot Pocket out of the vending machine, brother.”
46s
#TithingIsObedience
“Tithing is not generous. It's obedient. Generosity doesn't start until after we've tithed. The tithe doesn't belong to you. Leviticus chapter 27 verse 30 says the tithe belongs to the Lord. So the famous verse in Malachi chapter 3 where God is telling the Jews that they were robbing him. Why were they robbing him? They were robbing him because they were taking, they weren't paying the tithe. They were spending the tithe. That's why he says that they were robbing God. So we could say it this way, we pay our tithe, we give our offerings.”
25s
#FearBlocksGenerosity
“What I have found through the years is that fear is the number one barrier to generosity. But God doesn't call us to give so that we go without. He calls us to give so we grow in trust. And if we trust, he promises to grow our resources, which then grows our generosity.”
43s
#GivingRevealsTrust
“Here's what I know, giving first and giving best. It honors our king so that we're not giving him leftovers, so we're not giving him something that wouldn't honor him. Now generosity matters not just because of what it accomplishes, probably much more what it reveals. When we give, we're not just letting go of money. We're actually grabbing hold of trust. Tithing tests trust. And we're reflecting the heart of God who gave first and he gave best.”
36s
#GenerosityFlowsFromTrust
“And lastly, generosity flows from trust. Verse 8 in our text says, and God will generously provide all you need, then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. I think basically it comes down to this question, will you trust that 90% with God's blessing is better than 100% without? And I'm here to testify way better, not even just a little better, it's way better.”
48s
#ReflectGodsHeart
“God's character is not stingy or selfish, it's generous. So think about, like, which best reflects the nature and character of Jesus? Is he a stingy, selfish follower of God, or is it somebody that is generous? It's a pretty easy question, isn't it? Which one better represents him? Because we know what he's like. For God so loved the world that he kept for himself. No, they gave. His love for us is laughing. It's abundant. It's extravagant. It's freely given. It's not limited, not measured. It's exceedingly overflowing. So when we give generously, it reflects his heart.”
33s
#CreatedToGive
“Remember, God didn't create you and I to be hoarders, to be keepers. He created us to be more like Him and He by nature is a what? He's a giver. He's very generous. He created us to be that. That's why Jesus says, give and you will receive. And if that's true and it's in red in your Bible, I believe it. If that's true, wouldn't that mean that the reverse is true? Keep and it shall be kept from you.”
