Sermon clips from Terre Haute churches

48s
“I think that's important, and it's important because the culture that we are now trying to live out the gospel in is completely different. It's a culture of ignoring people. It's a culture of of trying to to get around people and not see people. And so let let me say it a a certain certain way that kinda kinda connects with us. We we make eye contact with screens, but avoid eye contact with souls. Just let that image for all of us, not just, you know, hey. You yes. That's those kids. I've seen 80 year old adults in restaurants not pay attention to each other because they're looking at screens.”

“We are often get stuck in the theology of Jesus, but don't spend a whole lot of time observing how did Jesus love, and how did Jesus make a difference. And I hope to start with this question today. When's the last time you really looked at someone? And what I mean by that, when's the last time did you look at him at a way like say, hey, you matter. I notice you. Not just that, hey, you're in my, you're you're a part of my day, but you're not part of my life. It was a look to say, if there's anything going on, hey, I just want you to know you matter.”
35s
“And we were told from the beginning, don't don't expect any fruit out of this. Don't expect anything other than handing people a bag of food. They were wrong. Because I wanna say with this one thing, and I want you to kinda open up the proverbial door of your heart and and and lock this in. It's this statement. Love begins when when you start to pause. When you pause, that's where love begins. When you're not consumed with your schedule, your program, your desires, when you really see people, it's because you pause.”
38s
“And so looking and I I wanna I wanna drive this this point home is in these these four verses. Looking is what your eyes automatically do. Everyone is looking. Maybe you're noticing who's asleep, who's not asleep, who who's doing what. Right? That that's an automatic thing. You observe things every day. But what Jesus is talking about, what Jesus is teaching is seeing is what your heart does on purpose. Seeing is what you say, you know what? I just felt led of the Lord to do this. That is seeing. That is pausing and noticing.”
37s
“"Before you go, I just want to remind you. you are. You will beat the Canaanites. You will advance your territory. You will inherit the promises of God. They're waiting for you. They are waiting for you. The good news of Jesus Christ is He qualified you. And those promises are waiting on you. You'll have more joy. You'll have more peace. You'll have all of these things. When you stand under the cross. When you stand under the fountain of the presence of God."”
64s
“"You will stand in places you never dreamed of standing. To open up your mouth and declare the salvation of your God. I say to you young people, don't wait till you're older. But now is the time and now is your hour. Now is your moment. Don't wait. Waste your life searching for things that fade away. There's so much more that God has in store. Father, I pray the launching, God, this morning from an upper room. The launching of heaven, God. Invading the church this morning, God. God, I pray that those that thought that those days were over would be amazed, God, at the outpouring of the latter days, God. The outpouring of the latter days. The outpouring of the latter days will be greater than anything that the church has experienced."”
46s
“"The Holy Spirit. Jesus said I've got to go. Because I'm sending. The person of the Holy Spirit. That I've walked with. My entire life. That I did ministry with. And I'm sending the power. And the peace. And the love. And the joy that I walked in. And the Holy Spirit's presence. That was active. In Jesus life. When he comes. You will not just go and check off a box. Of doing the great commission. You will do greater works than you've seen me do. You will lay hands on the sick. You will see them recover. You will cast out demons. You will tread over serpents. And scorpions. And you will not be harmed."”
51s
“"Joshua says. Clear the lot. And take the land. We're told in the New Testament by the Apostle Paul. Not just in Ephesians chapter 6. But also in his letter to the Corinthians. That we have the ability to cast down every vain imagination. Right? Every high thought. Every high thing. That would keep us from doing the Ephesians 2.10 thing. To all the stuff. The good works that God has prepared for us. In order to live the full life. To say what the Apostle Paul says. I've run my race. I've lived my life. Right? Now what's laid up for me. Is a crown of right. How could he say these things? Because he knew the good works were accomplished. He'd leave anything on the table. And neither will you."”
48s
“"Joshua reminds them, you're right in your whining and complaining. It's just you want me to go to war for you. You are, listen, Joshua's tribe was of Joseph. He is talking to the hardest audience, family. Amen? Sometimes family are the hardest to get motivated because they've heard it before. And oftentimes when you have leadership and pastors like myself have been there for quite some time, almost 20 years now. Right, Jill? Almost 20 years now. I cannot believe I'm saying that out loud. That sometimes the voice can just become we've heard it before. But the Bible says. Joshua says. You not just deserve, but God has called you to more. I want you to do something about it."”
47s
“"Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and to Manasseh saying, You are a great people and have great power. Watch it. He's reminding them who they are in Christ and who Christ is in them. You have great power and you shall not have only one lot. God doesn't mean for you to be where you're at. There's more. Oh, I'm about to preach right now. God says it's not enough for you to have the victories that you have had. There's more. The experiences you have had in Christ, there's more. Listen, it is natural for us to see things and make judgments on what we see. But we don't walk by our sight. We walk by faith in the Son of God."”
