Sermon clips from Youngsville churches

38s
“We have integrity. Church, this is what the spirit of God's doing in us. We are those who whether people are watching or not, we know Christ is. And so we wanna please Christ. We're not doing it to please our bosses or our teachers or those that we're under in the world. We're doing it to please Christ. And guess what? Christ is always with you. So church, we live differently. Let's be clear here for a moment. This is radically different than the world's philosophy of work right now. It's a work ethic that is not common in our world, but it ought to be the standard for believers.”
39s
“You can live with the certainty that whether slave or free, it don't matter here he's gonna level the playing field. Don't you love this? He says, it's not just you who are in a subordinate position. It's everybody. The king is going to judge them. So you live with a certainty that the king is coming back. What a great hope for us church. That when our goodwill, when our humility, when our serving like Christ goes unrecognized, we know I'm not doing it to please people anyway. I'm doing it for Christ, and Christ is gonna return. And when he does, he is gonna bring a reward with him.”
36s
“Sometimes if you give someone a little authority, they often exaggerate it, exploit it, and even abuse it. Paul is saying, when you're the one who has a position of authority, don't exploit it. Rather cultivate a mutuality with those that you're leading. Not only that, he says secondly here for leaders, the spirit empowers Christians to demonstrate dignity in their leadership of those under their authority. Here's the phrase, without threatening them. Here Paul is exhorting masters against threats of violence and of course, the violence itself. Christian masters are to be different, he says.”
31s
“Again, who's our example here? Jesus who did wash the feet of his disciples, who sacrificed himself to go to the cross on our behalf, who led always as a shepherd, never as a tyrant. That's our savior. So if you're in a position of authority, lead with this kind of understanding of the dignity of everyone made in the image of God. And it gives them the reason that these threats are not appropriate in the end of verse nine. Look back at it at least one more time with me. Because you know that both their master and yours is in heaven and there's no favoritism with him.”
