The South Texas Preacher

"Godly Grannies Never Die" (Romans 5:6-8) Romans 5:6-8 English Standard Version (ESV) "6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." When I was a young child my German grandmother told me that all you can hope to be in life is a good man. That same grandmother told me when I turned 18, that I was no good. For years, and years I kept trying to be a good man but, no matter what I did I could not live up to those expectations. I could never live up to this image of a good man in the eyes of my grandmother. Although, I loved and cherished my “Hotzi” her standards and expectations of her only grandson were never rational or even realistic. However, my Texas born grandmother had a different twist on life, and she never told me to be a good man. Instead, she told me everything she was telling me was for my own good. Her name was Granny Jackson, affectionally known as "Gangy." There were times I would get so mad at Granny Jackson during the physical therapy I had to undergo as a child. I was born with a weaken and crocked right foot from complications during delivery the day I was born at the hospital. I was about 4 years old when I started doing physical therapy. I remember getting so furious when Granny said, “this is for your own good.” Amongst other things she told me that were for my own good were whooping’s, homework, and bedtime. I hated all those things. None of these of things seemed good to me. We had to bless the food no matter how hungry I was, and we had to go to church no matter how boring it was. What did she say, “Church is for your own good.” How, am I to be good man, if I do not like all these things that are for my own good? If we look at both of what my grandmothers said and blended into what God would have us understand today, then they were both correct. I am no good and all those things Granny Jackson had me do or obey were for my own good. But, why did Granny Jackson never say that I was no good even though I really am no good. Because, Granny Jackson knew she herself and everyone else were no good but, only that God is truly good. Therefore, God is for our own Good.

Are You Free? (Isaiah 61 Sermon) Isaiah: 61:1-4 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me  to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,  to proclaim freedom for the captives  and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, 3     and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise  instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. 4They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations John 8:36: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”

Advent 4

Advent 2 Sermon Romans  Romans 14:7-9 (ESV) 7 For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. 9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. 10 Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; 11 for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” 12 So then each of us will give an account of himself to God. 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.
