Sermon clips from Southeast Boise churches

46s
“Because Paul knows that when a believer knows God intimately like that, that when someone understands God's love and his patience and his kindness and his goodness and his mercy and his compassion, they start to understand what his will is for their life. But it's only once we know God that we can really understand his will. And so, as he's praying, I want you to know God. It's going to result in, and I want you to be filled with the knowledge of his will, what he has intended for your life.”
57s
“And again, I just wish we could just see what the world looked like back then. But if you were from the city of Colossae or any other city in the Roman Empire, what you had seen as you walked the streets, these Roman streets that were paved and created to gain access between cities, is hundreds of decaying bodies hanging off of crosses, people who had been crucified for crimes against the empire. And at the top of every single one of those crosses was a piece of parchment that spelled out the offense that resulted in your crucifixion, except for one crucifixion. As Jesus was tried, he went before multiple judges, and the Roman magistrate, Pilate, looked and listened and tried to figure out where the animosity had come from, and he says, I find no fault in this man.”
42s
#SystemEnslaves
“Has this system been fair to everybody? It deals out wealth and all kinds of things to people, but doesn't it also enslave and torment people? Aren't there plenty of rich people who have, like, gotten rich on the fatted calf, but also, like, destroyed their lives? Hasn't it also like made some people incredibly wealthy but robbed them of their soul? They have yachts and and basketball teams and football teams and all kinds of things, but they are rotten to the core and missing a true relationship with the God of the universe which they were created to know.”
39s
#YieldToFindPeace
“Listen, friends. One of the ways I'm learning this day by day. One of the ways you will have the most peace in your own heart and you will be a person who peace follows is that with god's help, you'll be able to give more over to him than you try to control yourself. And a lot of that means yielding to others. It's not that you don't try your very best, but when we can lay down our pride enough to not have to always be right, or even if we really think we are right, allow God to show them that instead of have to show them ourselves, man, peace starts to come alive inside of our hearts, and peace begins to follow us.”
22s
#WorkForChristNotSelf
“It's not so long as this person, this friend, this pastor, this elder, this coworker, this human keeps up at their end of the bargain. No. That's not what he's saying. That's working heartily as unto men, which is really working heartily unto self and your kingdom, and you will wither. That will eat your soul and you will be miserable.”
27s
#ResponsibilityIsLove
“Maybe another way to summarize that would simply be this, taking responsibility. If you wanna know how to love people, taking responsibility is how you love people. It's like it's the equation. When you take care of your financial life, you love the people who it impacts. When you go back and make something right that you crossed a bridge or you you you caused a wound, you go back and make that right. It your that's just love. You're taking responsibility for what you've done.”
31s
#ResurrectionPunchline
“Humor can indeed be a blessing. It reminds us of life and and happiness and good times. Last Sunday, we celebrated with great joy the most humorous story ever told if you think about it. A man was dead and then he was alive. Imagine coming to the tomb and seeing the angel sitting there smiling, a big old smile, maybe swaying back and forth in delight and saying, you looking for? He's not here. He's alive. What a punchline.”
46s
“Because we say things, at least in our hearts, of, well, God, I'll be thankful for them when, and then fill in the blank. I'll be thankful for my church when they sing the song that I like. I'll be thankful for my husband when he finally puts his dirty socks in the hamper. I'll be thankful for my wife when she cooks like mom used to. I'll be thankful for my teacher when she gives me the grade that I want. I'll be thankful for my boss when he finally gives me that raise. And we make these conditions, but Paul, he just says, I thank God for you because of what he's doing in you and through you.”
48s
“And finally, Paul is praying for endurance and patience with joy and thanksgiving. Sometimes life is hard. The cautian church knew this, Paul knew this, you and I know this. Sometimes life is hard, sometimes marriage is hard, Singleness is hard. Being old is hard. Being young is hard. Work is hard. Being unemployed is hard. Sometimes even following Jesus and caring for other people is hard. And Paul knew this firsthand, so he prayed for them.”
47s
“Christ has utterly wiped out the damning evidence of broken laws and commandments which always hung over our heads and has completely annulled it by nailing it over his own head on the cross. Do you see this incredible reversal? I mean, Christ was condemned, and our condemnation was destroyed. Christ received our guilt and he supplies our innocence. Christ paid our debt that we actually owed him, and then he takes that debt that we owed him, pays it off, and provides us with an inheritance that only sons and daughters of a king would be able to deserve. I mean, this is what's so amazing about grace.”
