Sermon clips from Shoal Lake churches

28s
#JesusOurPioneer
“Two titles, two incredible titles. The pioneer, the, other translations say the author or the leader or the champion. Jesus has already done the hard work. He's broke the land. He's cleared the trail. He's marked the path. Jesus did it first. And we we we have an example, a way forward because Jesus carried the cross on his back all the way to Golgotha, bringing victory over sin and death and the grave through his resurrection.”
29s
#JesusFinishesTheRace
“The racing metaphor can't quite grasp the greatness of God's work on our behalf. Let's look at it in scripture. Christians are not running the race full of fear and doubt on whether we complete the race, friends, for it is Jesus Christ himself who is the perfecter and finisher of our faith. You're not the perfecter of your faith. You're not trying to get perfect. You're not trying to to do the work of becoming something that you cannot make yourself.”
23s
#GodGoesWithUs
“He's not like a a a fickle genie of some kind that if you do the right stuff, that God might stay with you. No. The the language of scripture is that God goes with us. So making a mistake doesn't make you less Christian, friends. Are you thankful for that? Some of you are like, I wouldn't be Christian this week if that was true.”
45s
#JesusPaidItAll
“Praise God that we're not required to pay the price. The price has been paid in full by Jesus on the cross, by his, the shedding of his blood for the remission of sins. But friends, there has to be an adjustment, a a complete turning away from what is evil in our lives in order to accept the work of Jesus on the cross, to believe in Jesus, to receive forgiveness. It's not something we make, it's something we receive. The gift of God's grace of the the debt already is paid, friends. Will you receive the gift today?”
36s
#AllSinsForgiven
“We have a forgiving God. Jesus saw the chasm between creation and creator, and he willingly chose to surrender himself even unto death to bring us back to God, to cancel the indebtedness. And God's justifying forgiveness extends backwards and forwards. If you've repented, God has forgiven your sins past, present, and future. Look at Colossians again. What's the language? Having forgiven us all our trespasses.”
37s
#GodIsLove
“Well, friends, when God describes himself, he is compassionate, not cruel. He is gracious, not vindictive. He is slow to anger, not quick tempered. He's abounding in love. He's not hostile or hateful. He's faithful, not fickle and unreliable. He's forgiving, not resent, you know, resentful or vengeful, friends. We've got a reason to praise God just because of the nature of who He is. So let us trust God, He is who He is, rather than trust ourselves of whatever kind of idea we've built about Him.”
63s
#RighteousnessAndPeace
“Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Your life is a training camp for eternity. All the things that you walk through in this life that are unpleasant at the time are not purposeless. We are to endure hardships as discipline that is training us and transforming us. Discipline, of course, is unpleasant is is what the passage testifies to, but if we face hardship as a means that God is using for our good, then it brings purpose into all the trials. The way Hebrews said is that hardships endured as God's disciplines are the seeds that grow into righteousness and peace. Do you want right doing in your life? Do you want peace in your life? Then endure the hardships you are walking through today as a training drill to produce righteousness and peace in your life.”
31s
#LedByTheSpirit
“So here's the script flip that happens, from Paul to modern readers today. We're not led by our desires. Our calling, friends, is not to be led by our fleshly appetites. We do not relinquish our actions to be determined by what our flesh desires. The follow your heart conventional wisdom of the day can be actually incredibly misleading. Ever had your heart want two competing things at the same time?”
31s
#RefinedByFire
“It's to be holy, set apart. Holy being being a word used even for the instruments used in the temple we see in Leviticus, that that everything that that was to be close to God was to be set apart only for God. And so we ask and pray that the Lord would use the hardships of your life to to refine, refine you through the fire so that all that is left is what is good, pure, and holy.”
34s
#CloseToJesusTransforms
“carrying Jesus' cross is so transformative for Simon that his son Rufus becomes marked by God for the purpose and spread of the gospel until the point that so much so, Paul is now thanking Rufus. Simon was just passing by and was forced by the executioners to carry Jesus' cross. But see, anyone that gets close to Jesus, I pray this is your testimony. Anyone that gets close to Jesus, it will transform your story and your family's story.”
