Sermon clips from York Township churches

40s
“They praised the maker that much more and gave Laurie to the father who entrusted the project to his son. That was when I finally understood. The restoration had never been the end of the story. It simply made the rest of the story possible. I had not been restored simply to be admired. I'd been restored so that once again, I could do what I had been made to do, in the service of the maker for the benefit of all who listen.”
46s
“a doctrine out of it or a teaching out of it. We need to understand as a whole. And as we look at it as a whole, we realize that how do I work out my own salvation? By realizing my weakness and that my it's only through the power of Christ that I can become like Jesus. That's like Paul says in second Corinthians 12. When I am weak, then I'm strong. Paul came to the realization that because as I recognize my weakness, as I see how weak I am, I realize where my power is, where I really realize where my need is. It's when Jesus, and then I become strong because I'm strong in Jesus. So we work out our salvation by realizing our weakness, our need of Jesus, and then we allow God to do his work in us, his good pleasure in us.”
44s
“No. Our hope is not based on whether we like those in authority over us. Our hope doesn't change. Our hope is in Jesus who loves us and forgives us even when we tell him or others in authority, but I really don't want to. Because when we say that, I don't want to, Jesus said to the father, not my will but yours be done. And because of that, the forgiveness that he won for you, that is the thing that's changed your life. And that is what changes the world.”

#SpotlightOnJesus
“You might be a really great person, but true righteousness manifest and incarnate in Jesus. So the Holy Spirit is saying... Or Jesus is saying about the spirit. One of the main things the spirit loves to do is not call attention to the spirit's own self, but to call attention to me. Jesus is the only righteous one, the only perfect one. One of the things the holy spirit, lord willing, is doing in this very hour is, like, pointing the affection and attention of your mind and spirit right here. Right here. Like, this is where the action's at. It's not behind a microphone. Band is great. It's not in the musical. Like, the main action is at Jesus' table today. Anytime you sense, like, a spotlight or focus going on Jesus, you can be a 100% confident that is the Holy Spirit.”
28s
“Jonathan did not consider his status as royal heir as something to be taken to his advantage. He didn't he didn't lord it over David. Instead, what did he do? He emptied himself of his royal garments in service and love to David. When we look at Jonathan's love for David, don't we see a small shadow and portrait of the love of Jesus for us? Because did Jesus make a covenant with us?”
49s
“One of the things I often think about is, am I believing enough? Sometimes it doesn't feel like I'm believing enough. Sometimes I don't know what I believe. I walk around in this world and I act a certain way or think a certain thing and I wonder if I really were a believer, would I act or think or say these things? But praise be to God that Jesus said it's not the intensity of our faith, it's the object of our faith. He said even a mustard seed of faith is sufficient for God to work and act and save. That is the power of the savior, of Christ, and not the power of my faith.”
44s
“The good works that Paul says were not the path to our salvation now must become the purpose of our salvation. It's not the ground, but the goal of being saved. What does all of this mean? Because this is not stuff that I think a lot of Christians live in the front of their mind moment to moment. They don't get up in the morning and say, what can I do, Lord, in service to you today? It's just the truth. I don't often do this. We should. We must. Lord, I'm awake. You've given me a new day. You've opened my eyes as a gift of your grace. Now what do you have for me today?”
31s
“So we need to understand that this experience is not about trying to do all the right things or all the right acts. It's about surrendering a heart to Jesus. And we're not gonna desire to surrender our heart to Jesus unless we feel confident that he can do what he says he can do. So we need to behold Jesus. We need to spend time with Jesus to be able to gain that trust, to let Jesus take control of my life and do those things.”
32s
“But if we behold Jesus and spend time with Jesus, Jesus begins to, through his Holy Spirit, make changes in our character to make us more kind, to make us more patient, to make us more lovely. We not even may not even realize it's happening, but God is doing a work in us that others may take notice of. And then we grow up and we unconsciously again, we don't even if you're unconscious, you don't know what's going on. Right? We don't even realize we're doing it, but we're doing it because we're allowing Jesus to change our heart.”
35s
“In an incredible act of submission, Jesus went to the cross dying and rising for you, not only submitting to the father, but this is the authority, the one over all things, the one over you, actually submitting to you in order to save you. And so when we think about that and we think about those cries of what I don't want to, well, they ring pretty hollow in that context of how far God went to save us, don't don't they?”
