The Village Church - Sermons

Admiring a menu does not satisfy our hunger. While spiritual interest tends to remain theoretical, spiritual hunger draws us toward Jesus in actual dependence. As those hungry and thirsty, we desire for God to make right what we cannot on our own.

We often associate “meekness” with “weakness.” But Christ is the picture of the Beatitudes and the image of the invisible God. Christ described Himself as “gentle and lowly.” He had perfect strength under perfect control. May we become like Jesus in His humility.

We tend to treat our sorrow as something to be silenced and others’ grief as a threat to our comfort. If we numb ourselves from the pain of life, we have not saved ourselves from grief, but robbed ourselves of true joy. Jesus has a better way for us.

The Christian life is not us moving up and to the right, but rather a series of peaks and valleys, ever progressing us forward on the long journey home to God. The first beatitude in Scripture is the doorway to the kingdom. We do not enter by any other way than moral bankruptcy. We enter with nothing, knowing Christ is our everything.

At the pace we run, it is easy to pass by and forget all that our God is doing around the world and right here in Flower Mound, Texas. We bless God for the forgiveness of sins, the healing of diseases, the redemption of stories, and the hearing and answering of our prayers!

Whether rich or poor, sick or healthy, well-to-do or the lowest social class—where there were people, the heart of Jesus was there. Wherever there was human life, Jesus approached those towns, villages, and alleys of destitution with the visceral, overwhelming love of a brother.

The gospel, with all its good news, revelations, and illumination, is not simply the door we walk through—it is the whole house. For the believer, it is where we spend the entirety of our days on this side of salvation. In the majority of moments where the gospel is preached in the Bible, the audience is believers. We, too, need the constant reminder of all that has been accomplished through our Savior, Jesus Christ.

We must not be like those who have received the gospel but don't want to be inconvenienced with suffering or costly discipleship—resistant to obedience. We embrace discipline knowing it rarely feels like a burden when we are in love.

We often look to others and their giftings and compare them to the ways God has wired us. We question our purpose and wonder if this is all there is. But the body can only function with a diverse variety of parts. God uniquely wired each of us, and the more complacent we are in our giftings, the more boring the Christian life becomes.

Jesus makes the invisible God visible. He ranks above all creation, and no one is like Him. All things have been created through Christ and for Christ. He sustains us and holds it all together. He has you in His hands.
