Sermon clips from Pelham churches

39s
“Acts chapter six is not primarily about explosive miracles or dramatic persecution. It's about administration. It's about fairness, wisdom, service, unity, spiritual maturity. The apostles had just entered or just endured imprisonment. They were had received threats. They were being threatened. They're they were interrogated. They even endured a public beating at the hands of the Sanhedrin. Yet instead of retreating in fear, they returned rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer shame in the name of Christ.”
65s
#SurrenderToGod
“This message isn't just about marriage. It's about surrender. It's about giving up your will for God's will for your life. You see, you cannot have a God centered marriage without a God surrendered life. So everything begins and ends with surrender. And some of you may be in this room right now, and and maybe you're feeling this. Maybe the Holy Spirit is pointing out to you right now that, you know, there's errors of your life that you have been compromising on. There's areas of your life where bitterness is is rising up or maybe, you know, it's lust. Maybe it's control. Maybe it's the spirit of pride or or maybe it's just brokenness from past relationships. But there's areas of your life that need to be surrendered to God so God can have his way in your relationships.”
31s
“That distinction protects the gospel itself. If eternal life has to be maintained or proven or earned through performance, then grace ceases to be grace. But if salvation is truly the free gift Jesus promises to all who believe in him, then believers are free to to pursue discipleship not out of fear of losing eternal life, but out of love, out of gratitude, out of fellowship, out of even reward motivation and spiritual maturity.”
33s
“Now notice carefully what they say, it's not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. The apostles were not saying practical service was down here while they were up here. In fact, the the language that Luke uses shows that both kinds of works were forms of ministry. So the issue was not was not an issue of dignity. The issue was one of calling in priority.”
28s
“``Throughout church history, one of the greatest confusions within Christianity has been the failure to distinguish clearly between the free gift of eternal life and the costly path of discipleship. Eternal life is received freely by believing Jesus alone apart from works. Discipleship, however, involves surrender, obedience, growth, perseverance, sacrifice, and sometimes suffering. Stephen beautifully illustrates this difference.”
42s
#TwoBecomeOneInChrist
“Because I believe healthy marriages can exist, but when you live in that in your life, you begin to wonder if you can ever experience it. And so I think it's important that we define a healthy marriage. So let's just put a definition to a healthy marriage. A healthy marriage is when two imperfect people surrender their lives to Jesus. When two imperfect people surrender their lives to Jesus, surrender their will to the will of Jesus, you both have to do this within a marriage in order for it to be healthy.”
47s
#GiveGraceAndPursue
“When both want grace but never give grace. Like you want grace for your mistake, you want grace for for somewhere where you've messed up or said something wrong or did something wrong, but you're not willing to give grace back when the other person does something. Here's another one. When both want to be pursued but nobody is pursuing. Alright. I hear this a lot of times when marriages begin to begin to start chipping away. Well, they never do this for me. They never say this to me. They never, help me here. They never, you know, take part in this. Then somebody has to start.”
40s
#MutualSurrender
“So verse 21 says, be willing to serve each other out of respect for Christ. So he's not just talking to the wife, he's not just talking to the husband. He's telling you both. The meaning of marriage is not about winning. It's about surrendering. Okay? Some of y'all like to win too much, myself included. I'm good with some arguments. But in the grand scheme of things, guys, it doesn't matter. Does it really matter? It's about a mutual surrender. Okay?”
38s
“So, again, lets look there. So, again, we have Jesus looking over Jerusalem. We have three major questions. Why is he weeping? What does this thy day mean? And what were they supposed to know that they didnt know? So, Paul tells us in Romans chapter 15, verse 4, For whatsoever things were written aforetime, that means Old Testament, because remember, Paul, theres no New Testament written yet. So, when he says aforetime, hes talking about the Old Testament, were written for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope.”
58s
“So, weve studied up and now we start to get busy being doers of the Word. So weve learned and now were going to put it into action. So thats the Christian. What about the non-Christian? And this is my day. Its very interesting if we look here. It says, We then are workers together with Him, also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says, In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. When you see this and you see Jesus and you recognize Him, thats your day. You know what I mean? If you recognize who He really was and you believe in your heart that that was Gods Son, the Messiah, and that He rose from the dead, He died on the cross to pay for your sins, thats your acceptable day to be saved.”
