Sermon clips from Willow Spring churches

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?”
39s
“What do we do with this? I think if you have everything Paul says, we we need to ask a better question. Think about you're there and ask a better question. Not how do I get out of this? Instead, hey, God. What are you doing? Why am I here? What is the lesson? I think we should redefine what working means, a new scoreboard. What is our what is our metric for success? I think we should make the mission bigger than just about us. Because if it has to be about me, it's not about Jesus.”
36s
“Someone with intention and purpose knew what they meant when they put that down there. So, yes, we see from a perspective, but there is a perspective from this creator who knows all things, who is in control of all things, who is truth, that gets the final say on what is actually happening. Perspective matters, but not more than the truth. And I don't mean your truth and my truth, whatever that is. I mean God's truth. Our heart's desire when we're talking about perspective should be, Lord, give me your eyes.”
27s
“Paul has adjusted the scoreboard and says, none of what y'all are counting is what matters to me. What matters to me is the gospel is being advanced. We say, it's working if it works out the way we want it to. We talk about that on our podcast. That's typically when we think it's working. Paul says, no, it's working if Christ is lifted up. That's why Paul can say this boldly. Verse 21, for to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.”
19s
“"Jesus always has been the hero. Jesus always is the hero. He will always be the hero. But I don't know about you. I want to be a part of a story like this. I want to be a part of a story where I've got, I've got faith that leads people to worship Jesus. I want to be a part of that kind of story."”
26s
“"Can I tell you that sometimes our greatest testimony comes from the place of our greatest failure. Sometimes it comes from the place of our greatest challenge or our greatest pain, but it's in the midst of that point right there where we call out to Jesus. We hold on to him and we get back up. Somebody turn to your neighbor and say, get back up."”
33s
“"Peter gets back up. Peter gets back up and he holds on to Jesus. Something powerful about this. In fact, I'm reminded of Proverbs chapter 26, verse 16. I'll read it right here. 24, verse 16. There it is. For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity. Now, maybe you're thinking a righteous man shall fall seven times. That's a lot of times. That's a righteous man? Seven times? Are you sure he's righteous? No, no, no. It's worse than what you think."”
34s
“"The beauty is Jesus is enough. He's more than enough. And so God isn't looking for the qualified person. He doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called. He meets you in that place where you say, here I am, send me. And you take that step of faith and he meets you and he is strong where you are weak. Are you hearing me? It requires that step of faith though. It requires us to stir our faith and stretch our faith to a place of uncomfortability where we're willing to say, I'm going to do what I can't control."”
31s
“"Peter understands that God is the God of the impossible. Amen? He's the God of the impossible. And he has so much more for us than we could ever hope or imagine. Or dream of. See, somewhere along the way, Peter has experienced this. And somewhere along the way, Peter has realized that Jesus wants us to be in relationship with him. Jesus wants us to be where he is. And Peter's come to the conclusion that if Jesus is out on the water, then what am I doing here on the boat?"”
22s
“"If you don't get anything else out of this message, get this. Whatever it takes, whatever it costs. Get close to Jesus. Whatever it takes, whatever it costs. Get close to Jesus. Don't wait for the boat to turn around. Don't wait for it to be convenient. Whatever it takes, whatever it costs. Get close to Jesus."”
