Romans 9

 Kent Clark


"God didn't choose you because you were different because Romans chapter 3 says you were no different" - Pastor Kent Clark.

I love this sermon...and listening to it again last night it made it a little more clear, that there is nothing I do that makes me right with God, nothing. It's what He does. He draws me to Himself, and He changes me from the inside out. He transforms me into something new, and it is completely His doing, not me. To God be all the glory. :)

 Excerpt:

"....and out of nowhere when you least expected it GOTCHA!  And I know what some of you are thinking...some of you are thinking 'That is the MOST unsophisticated church service I've been to in my life.' You can go to hell sophisticated. I'm not trying to get us sophisticated here. I'm telling you that  there's a  big God, who knows the heart, and He didn't send His Son down here for you to be religious. He came down here to die for somebody. And He's dead serious about Who gets the glory. You're not going to praise the church....You're not going to praise the preacher....You're not going to praise your baptism....if you get to heaven, you are going to praise HIM."

  1. Amen:) Great excerpt. I am on a sermon break for awhile. I need to clear my head, but I will remember this for when I go back.

    1. Please remember Pastor Clark and his wife in your prayers. My DH and I attended last weekend to find that he wasn't going to be preaching that day. He and his wife like to go bicycle riding in the late afternoons. His wife took a spill last week Thursday. She had a real bad bump on the head, a broken arm, and was found very confused. She may have had a stroke or heart attack that had caused her to fall. If the Lord brings them to your rememberance, please pray for them. :)

    1. Hi Leslie,

      Ken and I visited his congregation week before last. The pastor still had the associate pastor preach in his place. They did update the situation by saying that she was recovering well, and that Pastor Clark didn't want to leave her side. I work e/o weekend and next weekend off will be in Canada, and after that... I think will be Christmas weekend (?) anyway, the next time I'm able to go I hope to bring more good news :)
