In and around Uptown Westerville, brick sanctuaries with stained glass and pipe organs preserve traditional liturgy and choral music.

Sermon clips from Westerville churches

55s
“``Church, let me encourage us today. The storms of life reveal what our lives are built on and it tells us where whether we're being obedient to what God has asked us to do or not. So I say this not out of condemnation, I say this out of freedom. Guys, listen. If something's falling apart in your life, simply ask God, God, where am I not in obedience with what you've asked me to do? Get into obedience. Right? Guys, we I I sense the Holy Spirit on this this morning. Some storms you can't pray away. Right? Some storms you can't pray away. Why? Why? Because God has to show you that there's something that's not built on a good foundation. And the storm comes to reveal what your life is built on.”
35s
“It's easy to think that because we are Christians, we are adopted into the family of Christ. Jesus Christ died on the cross individually for you and for me that God loves us so much that nothing bad would ever happen in our life. If I love someone so much, I am gonna shelter them and make sure nothing bad happens to them. But the way we live life means bad things will happen to good people. We will experience things that do not go our way. And that's exactly what Paul was experiencing when he writes the book of Philippians.”
64s
“``And so if God creates his creatures, his the animals to have that kind of love, how much more church have we been created to love one another, to care for one another, to demonstrate God's love to one another and part of that reason is Jesus said this, they, meaning the world, will know that you love me by your love for one another. Amen. This is what he was saying. Let your love stop the traffic of the world By the way you treat one another, the way you honor one another, the way you honor one another, the way you love one another will stop the traffic of the world. And they'll stop and note that you love God.”
48s
“``To be a biblical man is subversive to the world. The world says real men don't cry, real men dominate, real men don't need help, But here, Adam spontaneously writes a love poem. Jesus weeps over a city and weeps over a friend. David wrote songs about his broken heart. Paul told grown men to be tender with one another. The Bible biblical manhood is not afraid of emotionally present, spiritually rooted, love driven men. This is what it means to be a godly man.”
32s
“``I'm here to encourage some of the men in the room, some of you women as well. Listen, you've fallen down. You have made mistakes. You find yourself in a place of loss, but I'm here to tell you today that through the power of the blood of Jesus Christ that you can rise again, that you can get back up, that a man with a broken and contrite heart before the Lord, that God will not despise, that his love and his grace and his goodness is there for us to receive.”
36s
“I think what can steal our joy the quickest is by comparing ourselves to other people. You know it. I know it. You see it. I see it. We start to compare ourselves to other people. Look what they have. Look at the success going on in their lives. Why don't I have those things? It's never fair to compare. Find joy in being thankful for the things you have. I think if you were to list 10 things going on in your life, nine are probably good. But that tenth one is the one you focus on. Focus on the other nine good things going on in your life. Amen?”
34s
“Paul was not interviewing for a CEO position. Things were not great in his life. He was chained up by his foot in a local prison. He was in prison while he writes a book on how to be joyous. Think about that. His circumstances did not allow happiness in his life, but we see that he had joy in his life because his joy was not based upon anything that happened to him. So while Paul was in prison and Paul would have been the worst prisoner, I imagine. Never been to prison. I hope I never go.”
35s
“Well, I'm glad you asked. Here's the answer. In Psalm one nineteen verse 57, it says, the lord is my portion. That's it. God's enough. God is all that you need. When we think about this world, we're on here for a small amount of time, but really our eternity in heaven is is for forever, for a very long time. So what we're experiencing here is just a small piece of who we are. So when we treat our lives as secondary to what's gonna happen in eternity, that's how we can have joy in our life.”
