Sermon clips from Whittier churches

32s
“and this flips the world upside down and shows us that through Jesus, God's love and good news belongs to everyone. There are no exceptions. All cultures, all languages, all ages, everyone. God didn't stop at something we feel or something we see, but also something we experience in community. This didn't just happen individually, but this happened to a community, and it gives us a chance to see each other and our community differently. Differently.”

#ShowMeFaith
“Thomas isn't looking for proof that death was defeated in some philosophical sense. Thomas is looking for the one who went through that Friday's wretched suffering and came back still bearing the marks. He said, show me. This isn't a failing of faith, my friends. No. This is the deepest kind of faith, the heartbreaking faith that insists resurrection must be real enough to hold the significance of what Jesus lived and lives through.”
50s
#FreedomInSpirit
“And then that frees us. It frees us to live in a different way. It frees us to follow the spirit. We're no longer condemned to live for our self or for this world. And so let's ask for the grace to believe, to receive the gift of eternal life so that we may share in the divine life which the savior, the messiah, comes to give us.”
37s
“``Peter points back to the prophet Joel to prove that this holy disruption is not just an accident. When God turns the world upside down, old hierarchies collapse. The young lead. The old dream. The marginalized are elevated. God was determined to get their attention and remind them of what Jesus promised and what he modeled, That the way of truth and life is love, and that he would never leave them, that everyone belongs, and everyone is beloved. And that should connect us all no matter what.”
31s
“What I love about this story as we read and remember is how God wants to get our attention. God used an annual holiday to turn the world upside down, and we get to read it and remember and wonder together about what it can mean for us today. So let's look back. Let's dig through the story a little bit and see what we find. The people were waiting, waiting, waiting for the holiday to begin, and some versions of the story say that some of them were waiting in an upper room in a house.”
24s
“And then that wasn't all. Like, that wasn't enough, wind and fire, to get their attention. The people were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began speaking in other languages. They could speak and understand each other, people from all over the world. They were amazed and excited, and they were confused. What does this mean? They asked.”
46s
#CourageToFollowJesus
“In thinking about it, the number one reason the number number one reason I don't follow the way of Jesus, and I don't most days, Is the courage it takes to move outside of my comfort zone. Now I say that not to shame myself at all. I'm trying. And I say that not to shame you any times away because I know we are all trying. But I think we have to be very clear that the way of Jesus is a courageous way.”
42s
#JesusBringsPeace
“Peace to you. Peace to you. Peace to you. Jesus breaks in to their place of fear. Their locked doors, which are locked for really good reasons. Not because they were small or cowardly, because they were afraid. Like many people in our world are right now, really afraid. Jesus breaks through this space and moves into the very center of this community and he repletes to them peace. Shalom. Wholeness. Peace be with you.”
35s
#DivineLoveWithUs
“Divine love is the presence that says, I will not abandon you inside this violence. I will not leave you alone with what you've witnessed. I will show up in your locked rooms carrying the evidence that what they did to me, what they do to us is never ever stronger than that which holds us together, divine love.”
43s
#EasterDivineLife
“They're simply for a time. They're not bad. They're not bad. But again, if I'm in if I'm if my life comes from communion with God, if I know I have eternal life, if I have this life that can't be taken away, then the importance of the things of the world are put in the right perspective. And so we're in this season of Easter. This is what we're celebrating. That this eternal life, this divine life is being offered to us. That we may share. That that we may experience. That we may have.”
