Sermon clips from Statesville churches

34s
“``We don't have a balcony room and we can complain about the meals and the service and we're just sailing away off into the sunset. That's not how this works. We are not a cruise ship, we are a warship as a church. We are we are we are going to battle. We are on the offensive against the powers of darkness, and we are trying to take the light of Jesus to this dark world. We wanna bring the grace and the hope of Christ to those around us to be taking ground, not losing ground, to be victorious, to be seen captive, set free because why? Night is going to set.”
45s
“Because resurrection gives us a new lens, right? To see everything through. It gives us a new focus, a new mindset, a new way of measuring what really matters. But let's be honest. How often do we set our minds, our hearts and our minds on the things of this world? Because truthfully speaking, we cannot live a new life with an old mindset. We worry about money. We compare ourselves on social media. We stress about schedules. We climb ladders. We chase promotions. We obsess over appearances. And we live for the weekend. And yet, then we wonder why we feel empty. We feel tired. We feel drained and unfulfilled.”
17s
“"Maybe it's the case that we need to change the spirit by which we're living and take away that worldly spirit, put it to death and replace it, not with that carnal fleshly desire for the things of this world, but listen, a love for the Father and who he is and what he's done for us."”
29s
“Okay, let's get practical. Maybe I create margin in my life somewhere for quietness and conversation. I know some of the young moms in our church are like, when? You know, I don't have a moment to myself and I understand that. Maybe you'll eat lunch in your car at work, maybe you'll get up ten minutes earlier, maybe you'll carve out a few minutes to say, I don't care if I feel like it or not, this is gonna be when I pray. And I would ask you this morning, if you're not praying for the people you love the most, who is?”
32s
“Some of us need to stop praying for God to get us out exactly what he has put us in. You see, God knows where you are. He's got you. God's got this church. God has got your sick loved one. God can meet every need in your life. And even though it's tough right now in one particular situation of your life or another, maybe you're exactly where God wants you to be so that he can receive the most glory through your life.”
31s
“Here's what I wanna say with this this morning in terms of making the most of every opportunity. There is an expiration on your opportunities to be a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ. How many of you know life is short? There's gonna be eternal rewards or eternal regrets for how you stewarded your opportunities to be a witness for Christ. I wanna say this, we are not just passengers on a cruise ship to heaven.”
25s
“But Jesus didn't rise from the dead so that we could just exist until heaven. He rose so that we could live, really live right now. And so if Easter is real, if Jesus truly defeated sin and death, then everything changes. Our priorities shift. Our purpose deepens. Our hope grows stronger and our mission becomes clear.”
24s
“Because if we believe the tomb is empty, then we must also believe that our lives should be full, full of kingdom purpose, full of resurrection power, and full of bold obedience to the risen King. The question that I want us to... to wrestle with today is this, is am I living in the power of the resurrection or am I just remembering it?”
30s
“So if we're living in the power of the resurrection, we're moving forward in the power that it gives us to live our lives fully for him rather than just admiring and remembering what he did on the cross. So let's not leave the resurrection folded neatly with our Easter outfits neatly tucked away until we have to pull them out again next year, right? Let's carry it into our homes, our work, our decisions, our calling. Let's live like Jesus is alive because he is.”
21s
“Because you were not raised to live a compartmentalized faith. You were raised to live a resurrected life, one that begins with Christ and overflows into every area of who you are, into your relationships, your work, your priorities, your time, your money, your words, your habits, your calendar.”
