Sermon clips from Village of Clarkston churches

67s
“Now my brothers and sisters, I wanna make sure you know this. Right? The goats were not objectively worse than the sheep. The context here is not that the goats were unbelievers and heathens. The context is that they were unfaithful followers of Jesus. They knew who Jesus was, but they were unwilling to see Jesus in their neighbor. And how does the context point us to that? Their answer to Jesus. Well, Lord, if we only knew it was you, we'd have done it. That's not an unbeliever. That's not a heathen. That's not a pagan, whatever terminology you wanna use. That's somebody who knew who Jesus was but was being stingy with the grace of God.”
65s
“And so we don't we don't gather to pray and and what would we pray as a church in this moment? What would I pray? God, keep us safe. God, change the change those leaders' minds. Protect our families. Help us not get hurt. Right? They're like, no. Make us bold to death and make people change. So what is the most productive activity for the church to do today? Is it strategy meetings? Is it retreat from culture? Is it countercultural building? Right? Let's make this little church our own, and let's build our own culture because the world's crazy. Right? Is it is it deep community and friendship building? All those things are important. Okay? I'm not saying that we shouldn't do those things, but the most productive activity, what the church first is found doing is what we're meant to do today. Prayer. Fervent, intense, genuine, gathered prayer. Prayer is the most productive activity of the church because prayer is the first job of the church.”
64s
“And if we entertain this and if we are lured away and if we take the bait, pride begins to seep deeply into our lives. And we begin thing. We begin to really feed the lie that everything is all up to me. We believe it. And you know why it's so easy to believe these things? Because they kinda taste good. We are looking for purpose. We want to be needed. We're desperate for our identity. And so the devil knows this, and so he puts these little lingering thoughts that feed our pride. And they feel good for a while, but I will tell you pride will destroy everything good in your life. Every relationship, every job, every interaction, everything that you love, it will all be ruined if you allow pride to take root in your life. Don't linger around those kind of thoughts.”
49s
“``And this is where this change comes from in them. This is what true change looks like. We can all say that we know and understand the Bible, but if there isn't any obedience to the words we read, then the words fall on deaf ears. This is what James explains when he says that we must be doers of the word and not just hearers of it. So for us in our own lives, are we willing to follow the Bible even when it isn't convenient to us? Are we able to attend church and not just sit there and fall asleep? To actually listen to the Bible and obey what it says even when it's hard. And this is true change in our lives. Right? This is what revival looks like. Isn't just an emotional response, but it's a response of obedience and joy to the word of God.”
64s
“And God called him something before he even saw it. You're a follower of many nations. You have no children at 90. His his legacy wasn't defined by his age, his circumstance, his failures, or other people's opinion. He was designed by God's decoration about him. And we as guys want to be accepted by everyone. As a guy I know growing up and even in my twenties and thirties and forties, and we sometimes struggle with acceptance and approval. It's based on our job. Sometimes that's our status or how much money we have made. And we put those things on us as guys, and we truly realize that isn't what it is. Abraham learned true success is living a life that's defined by what? Who God who you are. We see for years, Abraham, no evidence that God's promise was true, but he kept believing, I am who God says I am.”
56s
“Well, I would look at sanctification going back to Moses when he meets meets the Lord in the burning bush. Okay. The Bible says that God began to speak to him, and so he starts to approach it, and God says, well, wait a second. Take off your shoes. You're on holy ground. Mhmm. So the idea presented there is, since we're approaching God, we need to make changes that make ourselves presentable to him. And that was just a small thing at the time, but it's very important for us to understand that if we really are approaching God, we should recognize that it's gonna demand something of us. Yeah. The reason Calvinist line is not so much into that because they would say, well, Jesus Christ died for our sins. The blood of Jesus Christ has not only cleansed us, but makes us acceptable to God. So to them, it's I'm acceptable to God, and one day I'm going to heaven. Mhmm. And so the premise of change is somewhat foreign to a lot of them because, again, they're trying to be a good Christian.”
34s
“We have to understand that despite the teaching of the movie Inside Out, biblical joy is not an emotion because this is a command, and emotions can't be commanded. To rejoice is a practice, a habit, a liturgy that we live into as disciples. Now this comment to rejoice always, Calvin noted that we need to remember that the Philippians were in danger of persecution and false teaching. It's not because things were going well.”
81s
“We are called to serve like Jesus. On the night he was betrayed, before he served the disciples, his body and blood given and shed for them, Jesus washed their feet. It wasn't glamorous by any stretch of the imagination. It was not looked upon by favor of the by the rest of the disciples, And yet Jesus served them, just like he serves you and me today, his body and blood, given and shed for you for the forgiveness, the remission of all of your sins. By the blood of Jesus Christ, my brothers and sisters, you have been forgiven, you have been renewed, you have been reborn. So let's go go out from here and be like Jesus because Lord only knows the world desperately needs him. And their only way of seeing Jesus is in you.”
59s
“There is a temptation to think that the success in health, in life of a church is found in its attendance numbers, in its growth, in its number of baptisms, in its multiplication, that a church becomes alive when fruit is growing and the evidence is seen. But, really, fruit is is evidence that a church is alive and the byproduct of a church that's doing the right things. But a living church, I just want you to know this, can be dormant. It can have dormant branches for a season because the true test of life of a church is not seen. Do you know why? It's evidenced in its roots. A living church is one with deep roots of prayer, drawing life in power from a living God, and he's the only one that can produce the fruit. So our prayers like this one are that fruit might grow from this church. It's my prayer.”
64s
“But being a follower of Jesus is not about doing the easy thing. It's about doing the right things for the right reasons. It is about loving our neighbor, truly loving them as ourselves. No asterisks. No, well, I don't know if you really belong. But it's about truly loving our neighbors, all of our neighbors, regardless of how we feel about them as an individual, about whether or not we like them. Let me tell you, there are a lot of people I don't like. But it is about loving them, whether they look like us or talk like us or boat like us or whatever it might be. But it's about loving our neighbor as ourself sacrificially, radically.”
