Sermon clips from Wauchula churches

49s
“If you wanna understand Abraham, you have to answer one question. How does god ultimately fulfill the promise that he made to Abram? How does God fulfill the promise God made to Abraham in Genesis 12? All three religions are trying to answer that same question. How does the promise to Abraham get fulfilled? The answer that sets Christianity apart is we say it's Jesus. Jesus fulfills the promise. God's plan for building this great nation, it started with Abraham, but it always pointed to and depended on the one day coming of Jesus.”
43s
“If I create it, I can use it. I don't care what you said before. I don't care what you did before. If I made it, I can use it. Just surrender it. What's in your hands? What do you have that I can use? I never call anything that I can't equip. Here's the truth. Your limitations don't disqualify you. They reveal where God wants to show his power. I'm a say it again. Your limitations don't disqualify you. They reveal where God wants to reveal his power.”
43s
“Abram encounters God and he moves. Verse four, he went as the Lord had told him. That's the mark of a god encounter. It produces movement. It produces faith, but that faith has boots on. Do you hear me? It's a faith that moves. Listen to what the book of Hebrews says about Abraham's faith. This is Hebrews chapter 11 starting in verse eight. By faith, Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.”
39s
“Let me say it another way. If you want to be in control, the god of the bible is not for you. If you wanna be in control, the god of the bible is not for you. And control is such a slippery idol. Right? Some of us are obsessed with it, but all of us crave it on some level. But it is an illusion. Control is an illusion. Trying to control people, important situations, eternal outcomes, it's an illusion. To borrow a phrase from the book of Ecclesiastes, it's like chasing the wind.”
40s
“You can drop what you think you have so that you can receive what I have to give. And there's one big truth that I wanna pull out of this text for us today. Okay? One big truth. If you want to follow God, here's an anchor truth that you can count on. Following god means that you don't dictate the terms. Following god means that you don't dictate the terms. Following god is not an opportunity for us to do it my way, as Frank Sinatra famously sang.”
46s
“Moses Moses' hesitation delayed his obedience. And here's the danger. If you don't settle identity, you will constantly negotiate your calling. you don't settle the identity, you will constantly negotiate your calling. What you should, what you shouldn't. God says go, you say, what if. God says speak, you say, I can't. God says, lead, you say, use someone else. Here's the truth. When identity is unclear, obedience becomes optional. This is what I want you to know. When identity is unclear, your obedience becomes optional. So don't let the enemy confuse you about identity.”
32s
“He's in the wilderness. He comes up. His burning bush is burning. It's on fire, but it's not burning up. It draws his attention. God tells him to take off his shoes as his holy ground. He begins to speak to him. Here's the big idea for today's message. You don't discover your identity in comfort. You discover it in calling. I'm a say it again. You do not discover your identity in comfort. You discover it in calling. Now often, our excuses are the doorway to God revealing himself.”
37s
“So Moses had to learn that I don't act like a deliverer to become one. I act like one because I am one. Because God says I am. God says I am. And here's the last point, and then I'll let you go. You can't walk in purpose until you settle, I did it. You can't walk in purpose until you settle identity. Moses Moses' hesitation delayed his obedience. And here's the danger. If you don't settle identity, you will constantly negotiate your calling.”
52s
#PrivateSinPublicCost
“Now here's another key insight. Disobedience is never private. Jonah's issue started with him and God. But then Jonah gets on a boat, and now the sailors are in danger because of his disobedience. So here's the word. Private disobedience creates public consequences. Private disobedience creates public consequences. You cannot drag people into the atmosphere of your rebellion and think that they're not gonna feel it. Parents, your hidden rebellion affects your home. Leaders, your hidden rebellion affects the team. Spouses, your hidden rebellion affects the marriage.”
39s
#FormationNotPunishment
“But when a man catches a fish, it's normal. But when a fish catches a man, now that's big news. You know what I'm saying? Here's the truth. The fish didn't come to destroy Jonah. It came to preserve his future. What Jonah saw as confinement, God actually saw it as formation. Jonah's trying to get away from it. Sometimes, some of us we might be in a season right now. Like Jonah being in the belly of of this whale where it feels tight, where it's dark. You feel limited, restricted, afraid, and you've been calling it an attack.”
