#BeTheLight

“The input of of us being with Jesus, the output of that electricity is that we become light bulbs in this dark world. We become, conduits of the presence of Jesus in this world, and then we provide light by our actions, by our deeds, by the works of our hands. And and in that process, others experience the light of Jesus, and others are like, man, I wanna be a part of that. And they begin to long for the source of the light which you are displaying.”

#JesusLovesYou

“That Jesus came for you and me. This is a God who didn't sit on his throne and stay distant from his people. This is a God who came down to earth and tabernacled among us by the flesh, dwelt with us, lived righteously, and went to the Cross Of Calvary for your sins and my sins. That's Jesus. That's Jesus. That's Jesus. He loves you friends. He loves you. He wants you to be a faithful bride but a faithful bride is only faithful if she experiences his love.”

#JusticeAndMercy

“At Calvary, the holiness of God was not compromised. The justice justice of God was not abandoned. His wrath against sin was not dismissed. His love for sinners was not restrained. At the cross, divine justice and divine mercy did not compete rather they met in the crucified Christ. Divine justice and divine mercy did not compete. They met in the crucified Christ. Heaven's most glorious king enthroned on earth earth's most shameful death. So that sinners might one day be welcomed into heaven's glory.”

#TrustGodInWeakness

“That's okay to not know the answer to every single question. But do you trust that God will use you in those weak weak moments? That through what you don't know and what you don't have, that God can fill you with words that resonate with people. You know, trust with that person sitting... Standing next to you is built more by saying, I don't know, man, but let's go to the bible and see what the bible has to say. Like, I struggle to know the answer to that too, but I know my god has an answer. I know my god has an answer for these things.”

#RestInChrist

“It's not that we do the work first hoping that our nature has changed. Even if you think about salvation, salvation happens because your nature has changed. Your heart has been transformed, and because of that, your work is completely different. It is not doing and doing and doing and hoping that, like, oh, if I do, then my nature changes. It's first starting off with, hey, I am in Christ. I've been purchased. I've been bought with the blood. Like, that is my identity, and I can rest in that. And because I can rest in that, now I can do the work that god has called us to do. Right?”

#SanctificationJourney

“If justification, adoption, and union with Christ really tell us, they tell us about a position, sanctification is a process, and it's learning how to live into that position. It's, if justification and adoption are the destination that God has, like, set out on Google Maps, sanctification is the journey there. You know you're getting there, and how are you getting there? It's a new lease of life. It's trying to figure out how. It it... A lot of sanctification is is asking the question how. And because the Christian life isn't about trying to earn a new identity, it's not it's not about that. It's about learning to live out the identity we've already been given.”

#AdoptedByGrace

“the response of the adopted is gratitude. The response of the adopted is praise. Why do we come here on Sundays and worship and sing? Because we've been adopted into his family. And if you have not received the gift of this adoption, the invitation is to see the sun and believe. To see the sun and to those who believed you have been given the gift to be the the right to be called children of. God.”

#JesusIsEnough

“Does that make sense? You're willing to endure the sufferings of this life, the afflictions of this life, the poverty of this life, sometimes the loneliness of this life, the of the physical part of your life Because, you know, I have a union with Jesus that is much greater than the affections that any wife can give, the the the security that any job can give, the possessions that any money can acquire. Like, this life with Jesus is enough.”
