Sermon clips from Saint Paul churches

39s
“In the pain we can't see anything else. We can't think of anything else but here's what the hope of God says. The hope of God says, don't just look at your pain. Childbirth is painful, but after the pain comes a child. And the glory of that child far outweighs the pain of birth. Look again at what Paul says. I consider that our present sufferings. You might wanna personalize this. I I consider that my personal sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.”
52s
“And so god is trying to get us to understand, he knows what's about to happen. So when he tells you to rest, he means rest. So we gotta understand that healing requires some stillness. Jesus understood something we often ignore. We cannot heal while constantly performing. Oh, I wish that woulda hit somebody. We cannot he we cannot heal while constantly performing, while constantly doing what such and such need me to do and constantly doing what this person need me to do and constantly doing what that person need me to do and constantly doing what this individual need from me and constantly doing what they was what what what what brother got it going on and sister too much got me.”

#ReconciliationFirst
“At least at this point of where I'm at at, I believe yes. But we must first exhaust our attempts to show care, to show love, to show peace, to pursue reconciliation before we decide to use force. Force shouldn't be an automatic decision. It shouldn't be the first thing that we default to. It shouldn't be the first answer that we turn to, but it should be made knowing well that we have exhausted all of the options that Jesus has invited us to.”
34s
“I've talked to people who are dying or suffering. And here's what I often hear them say. They'll say pain unlocks a sweeter intimacy with Jesus. That is it's not that they're experiencing joy in spite of suffering, it's that the fullness of joy, the purity of joy comes through our suffering. It's easy for us to say, well I put my hope in God plus my plan for my life. And then when our plan doesn't go the way we want, we're like woah woah I gotta walk away from God. But our hope is not in God plus our plan. Our hope is in God.”
41s
“What do we do when we're tempted? What do we do when we face problems? Oftentimes our temptation is quit. You got a problem at work? Quit. Problems at school? Transfer. Problems in the marriage? Divorce. One author calls these quitting points and we all face them. Every marriage faces a quitting point. If you're looking at your marriage today and you're like, I just I'm just so I don't think we can do this. I'm we're facing quitting. Just know. That is normal. Almost every marriage faces a quitting point. Almost every student faces a quitting point. But what kind of person would we be if we quit every time we felt like it?”
34s
“In fact, it's oftentimes it's not the smartest or the most talented person that rises to the top, it's the person who finishes. It's the person who endures. Martin Luther once said this, he said there's three things that you need to grow in your faith. Prayer, scripture, and trials. I read that for the first time. Was like, what? Like prayer? Yeah. Of course. The bible? Of course. But trials? I mean, that that seems kind of odd that that would make the top three things of that we need to grow in our faith.”

“Some of us are exhausted because we because we've mastered looking strong while bleeding internally. Smiling in public. Whoo. Breaking in private. Encouraging others while secretly empty ourselves. But eventually, god will interrupt your routine and force rest into your life. But he said, why I gotta force it on you? Why don't you just enter into it?”
27s
“How quickly we forget? But catch, listen to, listen to the love of our god. Right. Even in Elijah's foolish moment because all of us done had him. Well, I talk about me because you know y'all don't go through this stuff. Be the people at the church over there. God done done one thing for us. Soon as another thing happened, we totally forget about the thing that he just did.”
42s
#RedemptionFromTheCross
“That God took something as violent as crucifixion, and he had his beloved son Jesus nailed on that cross so that we could be redeemed. Now I don't think we can redeem violence. We can't you know, we can't redeem use of force. But somewhere in that understanding, I don't know how to fully parse it out, God can, and he took the cross, a very violent instrument in history, and turned it into something beautiful that offers peace and reconciliation.”
