Sermon clips from Prophetstown churches

51s
“If you've been in a waiting season, which I have, you know that when nothing changes over so long, you grow weary and it's painful. And so this temptation exists for us to cope with unresolved prayers through other means. We stop processing with god and we begin to process in other ways. Maybe through distraction, anxiety, mindless scrolling on social media, keeping busy, and we do these things and and sure we would never say it out loud, but our actions and the condition of our heart is saying, yeah, I tried praying, but it didn't work.”
41s
“Just read the bible and count all the impossible situations. You have Sarah conceiving in old age, the Red Sea parting, the walls of Jericho falling, blind people's eyes being opened, people being brought from the grave, Jesus walking out of the grave, over and over, all through scripture, through history, and to the stories and testimonies that we bear witness to today, they all tell us a story. What's impossible with man is possible with God.”
45s
“When we refuse to stop asking, when we pray and we don't give up, our hearts are communicating to the lord, god, I still trust you. God, I still believe in you. God, I still need you. And when we persist in prayer, one of two things always happens. Either god moves powerfully in the situation he moves powerfully in us. Scripture gives us both examples. Sometimes, god responds by intervening powerfully in a situation.”
45s
“But persistent prayer, the discipline of persistent prayer, it forms in us this habit of bringing our need before the lord, bringing our burden to him, bringing our disappointment to him, bringing our confusion to him first, and then bringing it back to him again and again and again. It's what he wants us to do. Philippians four six, you've probably heard this. In every situation, don't be anxious about anything, but by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, make your request to god. It grows our roots, and those roots sustain us in suffering.”
26s
“You see, God wants to trade your shame and give you honor. He wants you to live a life that is not out of shame, believing that you are somebody different than who God created you to be. And this miracle at Cana is God wants to cover your shame and he wants to bring you into a new reality. And he wants to bring you in to freedom.”
26s
“The significance of this new reality is that we have a relationship with God, not a religion. Jesus gave us this sign so that we can relate to God in a new way. Heres what I want to do with the remainder of our time. I want to give you four ways to relate to God through the miracle at Cana. Four ways we can respond and relate to God.”
21s
“Let me ask you a question. Have you ever asked God that question? God, what do you want for my life? Or have you ever said this? God, I will do whatever you want. Thats a dangerous thing to ask God, isnt it? Maybe some of you have never asked. Based on how youre looking at me, I think half of you have not asked God that question.”
25s
“What is going on here? Theres a lot packed into this first miracle, and I hope to unpack it for you today. But I want to start with a story about my iPad. 14 years ago, I was starting at a church. I became the senior pastor. And one of the first things I did going into the church is I bought an iPad. How many of you have an iPad? I think I have one of the original iPads.”
25s
“Jesus is ushering in a new kingdom that is different than what people think. Jesus is ushering in a new kingdom that is different than what people are used to, and he does this through the miracle at Cana. Its like Jesus is saying the old model doesnt work anymore. The old way of religion doesnt work anymore. Here is the new way to connect and to relate with God.”
32s
“The Bible is a book about God attempts to reach humanity. And thats relationship. Jesus often breaks religious structures that hold us back. He came to fulfill the law so we didnt have to. Its interesting because even the Bible is a book about time, it turned into something that nobody could obey.”
