Sermon clips from Shabbona Township churches

34s
#ChristVictory
“Devil comes at you, you're not good enough. God could never love you. Look at the way that you've fallen in sin time and time again. What of it? Who cares? My salvation is not based on my performance. It's based on Christ's victory on the cross. And the devil has to flee in the presence of Christ. We defeat the devil as Revelation says, the saints defeated the dragon on the ground of the blood of the lamb. Because the blood of the lamb covers our sin.”

#ResumeIsNotJustification
“Neither of these things friends make us justified before God. If you're approaching God and you wanna say, hey, know, God when it comes time when you're asking me why should I be allowed into your kingdom and you say, hey, I've got this resume to lay before you. I've been a church member for forty years. I've served every single week. What's God gonna say? If you come and you say, hey, you know, well, I'm gonna be honest about myself. Lord, I I've had multiple affairs. I have a prison record. Is that gonna justify you before God? Also, no. See the problem isn't what's on the resume. The problem that Jesus is confronting is that there is a resume.”

#FalsaLibertadDelPecado
“Hay quienes piensan que la verdadera libertad consiste en vivir lejos de dios. Hay personas que creen que ellos van a llegar a ser libres cuando se alejen de dios, que ellos ya no van a tener, este, tantas prohibiciones, que ellos ya no van a tener que darle cuentas a nadie, y al alejarse de dios, ellos van a adquirir o obtener esa libertad que tanto esperan. Creen que dios limita su felicidad, ¿sí? Que sus mandamientos estorban, que los pedimentos que dios pone estorban para sus vidas, que la vida comenzará realmente cuando ellos puedan hacer lo que se les antoje. ¿Cierto o no es cierto? Hermano, el pecado siempre nos va a prometer libertad, siempre. El pecado siempre promete libertad, pero termina produciendo esclavitud.”
54s
#ForgivenessIsTheFruit
“Okay. So once again, we're we're seeing this tension. Okay. We are saved by grace alone, we're also being called here very, very clearly, we need to forgive. What that shows us is forgiveness is not the root of salvation. We don't forgive others and then receive salvation. Forgiveness isn't the root, but forgiveness is the fruit. Forgiveness is the fruit of salvation. And when we put our hope, faith, and trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior, he forgives us. What then? Outside of ourselves, we are to forgive others when it's hard, when it's easy, when it's challenging, when we don't want to. We are to forgive others because Christ first forgave us, and that is a fruit that the Holy Spirit can help us with.”
51s
#JesusPaidItAll
“``The Bible tells us that God created you to be with him, to be in his presence, and to enjoy him. But like I already mentioned, the sin that we get involved with, that we get tangled up on, that that we inherited from our ancestors, Adam and Eve, this sin is such that it separates us from God. And there's nothing we can do to get rid of that sin, to atone for that sin, to get rid of it off of ourselves. The only way was for Jesus to come to earth, to live the perfect life, take on human flesh, to go to the cross in our place, and all the wrath of God that we deserved was poured out on Jesus.”
44s
#DefeatedEnemy
“Now, when I initially read this, I knew this before from Luther, but was refreshed with that. Thought, man, it seems like he's picking a fight with the devil. Like, the devil's a powerful foe, dangerous enemy. He seems like the way that he's flippantly treating the devil is almost asking for it. But Luther's underlying logic was that Christ had already completely defeated evil on the cross. Therefore, treating the devil with trembling fear was an insult to Christ's victory. Treating him with mockery was simply agreeing with reality. He is a defeated enemy.”
46s
#TrustGodsTiming
“Obedience is ours, the outcomes are God's. I think that's really the truth. And so maybe you're here today and you're thinking to yourself, man, don't deserve the spot that I'm in right now. I mean, I'm not perfect, but I've done things your way, Lord. I'm trying to do things your way, and and things aren't working out the best way for me. Don't let it pervert your outlook. God is good. God is on the throne. Keep persevering in obedience. He'll be with you. He'll see you through. He'll deliver you.”
63s
#SovereigntyAndResponsibility
“that God does not take an innocent, willing heart and arbitrarily turn it evil. Rather, Pharaoh is already a proud and oppressive ruler who refuses to submit to God's authority. So God judiciously hardens his heart in his own rebellion, accomplishing his sovereign purposes through Pharaoh's own sinful disposition. And how those meet in the heart of God, that's above our pave grade. John Calvin and many other reformed interpreters emphasize that God's sovereignty does not eliminate human responsibility. God can accomplish his purposes through the willing actions of sinful people without becoming morally culpable for their sin. The distinction is between God's sovereign purpose and Pharaoh's sinful motive. God intends to display his power and deliver Israel, and Pharaoh intends to maintain his authority and refuse God's command. Both are true.”
39s
#GodWins
“They saw victory ahead and they could rejoice in it because in the end, God wins. Let me just tell you this, God's gonna win. The devil's not gonna win. The culture's not gonna win. God wins. There's no over and under on what his winning chances are. Okay? It's not like the Chicago Bears. God's gonna win. And you as his child, as his follower, are gonna win too. Not on the basis of how you perform, but on the basis of what Christ has done.”
35s
#FaithInAction
“when we commit to God, we commit not only in word, but in action. It doesn't mean that you're gonna live a perfect life. It doesn't mean that you're not gonna falter and fail and fall to sin and to struggles and to your own self. Doesn't mean you're not gonna experience pain and heartache and all of that, but it does mean that in some level, you're going to respond not only in word but by the way that you live. And a Christian's call is to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, but then to live a different life. To be different.”
