Sermons
Messages from Clarity Church’s Sunday gatherings in Brooklyn Park, each with the audio and a written summary.
-
Why did Jesus speak in parables? In Matthew 13:10-17 they reveal truth to those believing the mysterious and conceal it from those denying the obvious.
-
Life is like the morning fog, James 4:13-5:11 says. Living with the end in mind means trading presumption for patience and standing firm in Christ.
-
Who are you to judge your neighbor? James 4:11-12 and the Pharisee and tax collector in Luke 18:9-14 call Christians to choose love over judgment.
-
The church is a family, not a business. James 4:4-10 on friendship with the world, guilt versus shame, and the grace God gives to the humble.
-
What causes fights and quarrels among you? James 4:1-3 traces every conflict to the desires at war within us and calls us to ask God before we argue.
-
Godly wisdom is doing what should be done, not just knowing it. James 3:13-18 describes wisdom from above: pure, peace-loving, gentle and merciful.
-
Why is Jesus called the Prince of Peace? A Christmas sermon on Isaiah 9:6-7 and Luke 2 about his upside-down kingdom and finding peace without pretending.
-
Why does Luke trace Jesus’ genealogy back to Adam? Luke 3:23-38 shows a Savior for everyone, and a God who is not afraid of a messy family tree.
-
The story of grace starts in Genesis 3:1-6. This Christmas sermon shows God giving what we deserve least and need most: his love and forgiveness in Jesus.
-
Faith without works is dead: James 2:20-26 shows through Abraham and Rahab that gospel faith sacrifices and takes risks, and why James and Paul agree.
-
Even the demons believe and shudder. James 2:14-24 exposes faith full of information but void of transformation, and calls us to love our neighbors.
-
Pure and genuine religion in James 1:26-2:13 helps the helpless and grows in godliness, caring for widows and orphans and showing mercy, not favoritism.
