Sermon clips from Painesville churches

27s
“So why do we assume we have to prove ourselves to god? We live like we have to win over his opinion of us because that's what we have to do with everyone else. But we were created in god's image, not the other way around. We don't have to try to earn god's forgiveness. We don't have to try and prove that we are greater than the mistakes that we have made.”
21s
“We hide who we are because we are afraid we will accepted. But god sees it all. He knows exactly everything about us. He counted all of the hairs on our heads. Remember? And none of it has ever stopped him or will ever stop him from loving us.”
25s
“There are no surprises in us for god. We can't shock him. We can't keep anything from him. What happens in Vegas might stay in Vegas, but what happens everywhere is known to god. So we don't need to polish up or put on our best face. He knows. Jesus's death on the cross covered everything.”
27s
“Our who am I tag for the game could have been written well before anyone on earth even met us yet. He knew everything about us, and he called us his child because who we are is formed in god. We were not accidentally created. He knew just who we were when he made us, and he made us before anyone else could form a single opinion.”
74s
“"And because of this, because I can look back and I can see what God has already done, I can hope for the future. Knowing he's always been faithful and he will continue to be faithful and he will continue to be faithful. And he will continue to provide. I told you a few weeks ago about our church. Not the church you see now, but the church that you will see. And I talked about thriving men's ministry and thriving women's ministry and a youth group that's bursting through the seams and a young adults group and mission trips and missionary support and thriving multi-ethnic community and music that impacts the world. I talked about a church that's going through the seams, a church that provides for the poor and the marginalized with radical generosity. I said this is gonna be a church that baptizes 100 people every year. And let's say 200. 200 every single year. A church that stands for peace and unity when all the world wants to fight. We're gonna stand for peace."”
91s
“"Now, here's what I want to say in the sight of God. Jesus, you are here in all seasons. But guess what? So am I. I'm gonna walk. I'm gonna walk right with you, knowing that you're carrying me the whole way. And so I'm gonna walk into the struggle, right? We're gonna cause some good trouble. I'm gonna walk into the struggle. Jesus, I'm gonna stand firm in the fight. I'm ready to press. And I'm ready to move. And I'm ready to work day after day after day. I'm coming in after work. I'm working overtime. I'm gonna keep moving and pushing and changing and shaping. And God, I'm ready to pour it all out. You take me, and you fill me, and I'm gonna pour it right back out, because you're gonna keep filling. You see, Jesus says, I'm gonna make your cup overflow. You know what that means? It means we pour, and it keeps filling. And we pour out, and it keeps filling more and more and more. I'm ready to pour it out, God, because I know you're about to do something. You're gonna do something."”
70s
“"I can look back and I can say, God, I've seen what you have done. I have experienced what you have done. And I got a list. It's not one, it's not two, it's not three, it's not 10. It's right here. And it goes on and it goes on and it goes on and on and on and on and on and on. I'm gonna work I'm gonna show up. And you're gonna work and you're gonna show up and you're gonna put the effort in. No one's giving up. Not a chance. Because I expect, I have the confidence, I have the anticipation, God, that you will do exactly what you have done before. You're gonna do the same thing. And what have you done? You have provided. You have kept your promises. You have saved and delivered and healed and restored."”
63s
“"Remembered experience is when we get a piece of paper and a pen. Does anybody still use a piece of paper and a pen? Use your, whatever it is, right? And you go through the list. You remember in the past all the things that you've done in the past, that God has done. This is very helpful. And maybe it's three things, three things. You say, you know, I remember when I was struggling or I was suffering or I didn't know and here's how God provided. And maybe you got three. Maybe you got 10. Maybe you got one. Write it down. And trust that God will be faithful and deliver again. Trust that God will do the same thing he did before and show up in your need."”
55s
“"So when we believe that our faithfulness will result in riches and money and houses and cars, I don't know what gospel that we're thinking about because it ain't this one. It ain't this one. You may work hard and always be poor. You may exercise this, and always have bad genetics. You may do all the right things and still have kids who go their own way. What I am saying is that faithfulness, dedication, work, perseverance, and the love you put in through the mundane parts of your life can lead you to seasons of great joy, even in your poverty, even in your illness, even when your kids are rebellious and making bad choices."”
44s
“"What I am saying is that faithfulness, dedication, work, perseverance, and the love you put in through the mundane parts of your life can lead you to seasons of great joy, even in your poverty, even in your illness, even when your kids are rebellious and making bad choices. Put the work in. Put the work in. That's what Paul did. Paul put the work in and he experienced a season of success. But here's the thing. Guess what comes up next? Paul hadn't even been shipwrecked yet. And that happens three times. Okay, so this season of success, guess what's coming next?"”
