Sermon clips from Rancho Palos Verdes churches

41s
“Boy, what you saw is good. Right? He's saying you saw a marking, you saw a ceiling because of the blood of these sacrifice of animals. But can you imagine if it was God's own blood given up willingly so that you could be marked, so that you could be redeemed? How much more then should you feel secure and marked because of what Jesus has done? In the midst of a world that's going its own way, that is confusing, you know because of the baptism, because of God's holy spirit, that you get to rest in the hands of God.”
41s
“Who's doing all the work in this verse? Are you? Are you supposed to create yourself a clean heart? Restore yourself. Come on. Do more work. Work harder. Or is it simply opening up and saying, Lord, create me a clean heart. Restore the will and spirit. Create in me a steadfast spirit. Why? I can't do it. I've tried so hard to save myself. I've tried so hard to do the right thing. I keep failing. So, God, I need you to do this work now.”
35s
“And myself, when I was I choose the text usually, you know, a week or a couple months, not couple months, a month in advance, couple weeks. And I I thought saw this, and I thought, why did I pick that one? And it's a tough it's a tough read because it reminds us of the justice of God. And it reminds us that God is holy and that he has the right to do whatever he wants. It's not because he wants to destroy people, but it's because sin cannot stand in his midst. And he is perfectly holy.”
46s
“Now here is the verse that changes the whole story. There is a priestly character who comes into the midst, and he comes into the midst to go out and to mark those who are what? Who are obeying the law perfectly? Those who have not eaten food, defiled with unwashed hands? Those who have kept and tied to church every day, never missed a Sunday morning service, always showed up for Tuesday night bible study? Is that the people that he's marking? No. Those who grieve and lament over all the things that have happened.”
50s
“Paul says this in the book of Philippians in the great ancient hymn that we believe that they sang and spoke. Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness, and being found in human form. He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Christ, took on the form of a body, became human, knows what it is to have the spiritual and the physical meet in humanity. Christianity affirms creation. It affirms the body. It affirms everything that we're in. N .T. Wright, in this book, Surprised by Hope, it's an amazing book. If you haven't read it, it talks about the physical resurrection. It talks about this.”
35s
“``We believe in the physical resurrection of Jesus. We believe that the disciples saw and touched Jesus. We believe that others, 500 people, also saw and touched Jesus. We believe that sin, death, and the devil could not hold him down, and he burst forth. And so, therefore, when you think about the future, you can say, yes, there will be a day when this body will stop breathing. But it will not be my last day, because God will resurrect this body, and I have something to look forward to. I have a new body to look forward to that this body is but a seed for.”
45s
“You're my child in the waters of baptism. Marking with oil. Right? He's using stuff you can touch so that you know you're loved. So, you take that bread and that wine today and it goes into your mouth and you feel the texture and you taste the flavors and you chew it down and you say, God loves me. He forgives me. And he's given me bread and wine so that I can hold on to it and know that he's with me. The love of creation. Christians, we should be the ones who are advocating and striving for keeping our world beautiful.”
20s
“When you look at what the Bible speaks to, in terms of heaven, it does not speak about pulling us out of creation, but remaking creation in a new way without sin.”
25s
“which believes that matter is good, that God himself once took on the human body, that some kind of body is going to be given to us even in heaven and is going to be an essential part of our happiness, our beauty, and our energy. God, Christianity is alone in believing your body matters.”
17s
“It's why a therapist will say, a simple thing you can do, hold your head up, pull your shoulders back, look out. Where your body goes, your soul will follow.”
