Sermon clips from Parkesburg churches

37s
“And what do we do with that knowing that he does heal instantly, know that heals gradually and yet sometimes we sit with the tension point of God is still sovereign over everything and yet he didn't say yes to my particular request. That's real, that's for all. I wanna validate that that's human. But we still pray and we do it boldly because the miracle working Jesus is capable of doing anything. So we still pray. However, may we never reduce the all sovereign God to a vending machine. He's just gonna pump out what we want, when we want, how we want.”
30s
“Because here's what happens, when we go and do stuff for God, which is awesome, mission trips, and we serve in the church, and we reach lost people for Jesus. Amazing. Incredible. But here's the thing, we cannot say, we should not say and fall into temptation that the stuff that is tangible and noticeable is more holier than the stuff that's not tangible and noticeable in the eyes of other people. Because when we get to sit in the presence of God, that's where our character is formed. When we get to sit in the presence of God, that's where our love and our dependency and our abiding in Jesus gets cemented more into who we are.”
31s
“That the stuff that we have in our heart, the stuff that we have in our mind, the stuff that we have pressing in around us, Jesus is not too busy. He's not too busy taking care of the whole entire world to take care of you. He's not too too busy in the synagogues to take care of you in the seclusion of your home. Jesus is compassionate. Jesus is almighty and sovereign overall, and yet he's so intimately, intricately, beautifully wired and interconnected into our life. That is our Messiah. That is our Jesus. That is what he is capable of doing.”
27s
“So, when he healed someone of a disease, it was still temporary, they're still going to die. When they healed someone of a demon possession, that's great and that's awesome, but they're still gonna die. Jesus had a bigger why, and that was to save eternal souls on the other side of eternity for everyone. So that was his why, so he went and he did it. Therefore, he disappointed people. Jesus works on different timetables in our plans many a times, and sometimes can actually disappoint us.”
