Sermon clips from Terry Sanford churches

50s
“Well, then God's love is for the low income family whose economic safety net has been reduced and they now have to choose over basic needs that they can afford. I see, I don't know how that works. I wish I could tell you. You probably don't wish that. But our rules don't provide for the safety of one another. Our rules don't provide for forgiveness and mercy for one another. Because God's rules begin with grace, ours don't. God's rule begins with love, forgiveness, inclusion, hope, mercy. Ours don't.”
41s
“It's easy to love people who love us. It's easy to love people who agree with us. It's easy to love people who make us feel good, but Jesus calls us to a deeper kind of love. Sometimes the person who needs the love of Jesus the most is the person who makes it the hardest to give it to them. And and and so why is that important? Because that when you love that person that's trying their best to cause you not to love them, that's where the gospel becomes the most visible.”
54s
“If you stay ready. you stay ready. If you stay ready. Stop getting ready to get ready, but get ready and stay ready. Because you're getting ready to get ready is gonna run out on you. Get ready. Stay ready. Strive in a posture of being ready so when Jesus comes, the only thing you have to say is, Lord, here am I. You don't have to try to run-in high. Yes. You'll simply be able to say, Lord, here am I. I've been waiting for you. I've been living for you. I've given my life over to you, and I've been scribing. I've been expecting you to come and receive me unto yourself.”
70s
“That should literally take our earthly breath away, but we get so used to it or maybe we've grown up with it that it doesn't really hit us like it should. There is a whole world waiting just for us to join them, and the best is yet to be. When we live our story for the story of Jesus, we make sure that we don't leave any I love yous unsaid. We don't yield to empires if they ask us to be less loyal to Jesus. We mend relationships. We get serious about growing up in our faith, and we take responsibility for our giving and sharing and serving We don't wait. Tomorrow isn't promised, but we're here now.”
63s
“God is in the church, but god is in the church because each one of you is in the church. You are all embodied in god. God's hands and feet are the hands that you all carry with you everywhere you go. The feet that you walk with, that you travel with, are god's feet. The voices that you all have should be god's voice. It should be god's voice in the wilderness. We all have what we need. Holy trinity has everything that it needs because it's sitting right here. God has provided for us because he has provided for each one of us.”
42s
“Because if one doesn't know the bad news first, the good news just doesn't make sense. In other words, one must understand the bad news before they realize how much the gospel matters. Here's the bad news. The wages of sin is death. The payment we receive for breaking God's law is physical death, which is the separation of body and spirit. Spiritual death, which is the separation of people from God and eternal death. The separation of people from God forever.”
40s
“I want you to sit in the tension of that because we kinda live in a cultural moment where people talk as if there's a threat to the gospel, where people are talk like, if we don't do this, the gospel is at risk. And I would say any gospel that shrinks back because of the affairs of man or the whims of a politician or the wickedness of humanity is no gospel at all. I don't wanna serve that God if if the affairs of us mere mortals shakes his divine plan. Paul says, what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. Do we view what is happening to us that way?”
50s
“And what is God gonna ask them in return? There's always a catch that we share God's love with one another. That we offer grace to those with whom we share earthly peace and earthly space. To offer a place both physically and emotionally to someone else There will be a sense of safety and nurture and inclusion and joy. To share to a hurting world the love and mercy of God, to show the grace of our God who is slow to anger, who is abounding in steadfast love, and gives all of that to us and to others freely.”
54s
“So you've got all these things. When we could do that, that's not God. God, the landowner's not waiting on somebody to apply for a job. The landowner, God, is going to the marketplace. That impressed me. Because God comes into our life every day. All sorts of ways. Some ways we recognize, some ways we don't. But if we're waiting, saying, when I get ready, I'll I'll go and ask God what needs to be done or what I can do or how God can use me. That's fine. Just don't ignore that God's gonna come to you. God's gonna come to me. God's gonna be in the midst of us in a way that will surprise us, will invite us, and will love us.”
37s
“The the the bottom line, John is saying this. He's saying that the defining mark of Christianity is sacrificial love, not perfect love, not easy love, not convenient love, sacrificial love. That's the kind of love that looks like Jesus. And and because of that, the question we need to ask isn't simply, do I love Jesus? Maybe we need to ask another question if that second question is this, does my life look like the love of Jesus?”
