Hyland Heights Baptist Church

#ChristlikeCommunity

“They confess one lord while allowing another standard to govern their treatment of people. When Christ's glory, listen to this, fills our vision, it should radically change how we treat others. It should transform what we value. Look around you. We're family. This is the way we're supposed to be. How we treat each other as family, the community that we have. But we will never be family with people that we don't speak to, that we don't get to know, that we ignore.”

#WordsRevealTheHeart

“Think about this for a moment. Evaluate. How often do you gossip? How often do we criticize or complain? How often are we harsh or even slander others online or otherwise? Or those angry outbursts? The tongue often reveals the true condition of the soul. It's what it does. It reveals the true condition of the soul. Kinda like this. A thermometer reveals the temperature. It does not create the temperature. The tongue reveals the temperature of our life spiritually, but it doesn't necessarily create it because we're the ones behind how it speaks.”

#GodNeverChanges

“God created the sun, the moon, the stars. Unlike heavenly bodies, God never changes. He never dims. He never declines, and he never casts a shadow. James contrasts god with the shifting shadows created by moving of the celestial bodies. The universe changes, but god never changes. God is not the the source of temptation. He is a source of every single blessing. Come on. A lighthouse remains fixed while storms rage around it. Why? Because as long as you can get to that lighthouse, you will get to safety. He is the god of light”

#TrustGod

“See, Jesus teaches us that success in God's kingdom is not measured by our best practices or our industry standards. this is measured through obedience and faithfulness. And the growth of that seed is all on him. We're encouraged to trust in God's provision to carry out the mission. this morning I challenge you. Serve faithfully without anxiety. Don't try to fix everything. Don't try to solve all the problems. Serve faithfully without anxiety. Trust god with the results, whether they're there when you want them or whether they're not. And remember that the mission belongs to him.”

#SurrenderToJesus

“We're not meant to play games with god. Christian life is not about adding Jesus to your plans. It's about surrendering your plans to Jesus. First thing James says, a slave to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have no rights. I have one master. I fully surrender to him. James, who hated his brother but met the resurrected savior and was totally transformed. Have we met the resurrected savior? Yes or yes or no? Have we? Yes or no? Yes. We've met him through the power of the holy spirit. If we've been redeemed, then we've met the resurrected savior.”

#MissionDriven

“I love this statement. A mission driven church doesn't say this. It doesn't say how many people came. It says how many people went. Let me repeat that. It doesn't ask how many people came. It asks how many people went. Who served? Who shared? Who invested in somebody? And noticed and who noticed a need and did something about it? Who said, God, if you call me, I'm available? My friends, if we are a mission driven church, we must obey the command of of God.”

#FamilyWorship

“Listen, a family can arrive at church every week and still worship a different god all the six days other six days of the week except Sunday. Whatever we sacrifice most often to reveals what we worship most. Listen to this. Every family is building an altar somewhere. The question is not whether your family worships, our families worship. The question is who or what our families worship. The greatest investment you'll ever make is not in a portfolio, retirement account, or prosperity. The greatest investment you will ever make is building a family that knows God, loves God, remembers God, and worships God from generations to come.”

#JesusAboveAll

“Notice what it is. Notice the re this is kind of the reversal of the humiliation. Jesus humbled himself, but because he is god, because he paid the price, he is now to be exalted. He deserves that because he prayed the price. He is now highly exalted. The key to this passage is that the name is above all names. Ultimately, Jesus is given the name of Curios, which means master, owner, lord. It was a official title for Roman emperors. So when Jesus was was called lord, it meant that he was the master and owner of all life. He was the king of kings, the ruler over all creation. He is that. He's always been that. To be focused, gospel focused, again, is to be Jesus focused. It's all about him.”

#ServingFromMercy

“The church begins with something God has already done. And so we're not serving to receive God's mercy. We're serving because we've received it. Right? We're not making disciples to prove that we're worthy to be God's meaningful and to make sure that we're, be God's people and to make sure we're participating in something meaningful. We make disciples because God has already made us his people and brought us into something meaningful through Christ.”

#JesusPaidItAll

“But, guys, if we walk out of here today and forget what we are trying to remember, we should recollect every single day that Jesus Christ paid the price for us. Every moment of every day, our Christian life is a lifestyle. Lifestyle. It is not something that we run from. It is something we embrace. We are not the greatest. He is. That's why we needed a savior. It should humble us. It should break us. I mean, seriously, in moments like this, it should bring us to tears because he paid that price.”

#PraiseInEverySeason

“Whether it's in victory and suffering, in abundance or loss, in confidence or confusion, god's people have one response. Say it with me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise Yahweh. Because praise does not merely prepare us for the presence of God. Listen to this. Praise reminds us that God who reigns has all has been present all alone. Satan wants to do is blind us when we can't see that, and God shines his light into that that darkness so that we can see him. That's what he wants.”

#AbundantLifeJourney

“``Psalm one twelve shows us that this life, what this life looks like. A grateful heart that worships, a faithful life that leaves a legacy, a caring spirit that reflects god's compassion, a generous hand that blesses others, a holy heart that trusts God in adversity, and a wise mind that chooses God's path. Abundant life is not primarily about what we possess. It is about who we will become as we follow Jesus in the days to come. That's a challenge for our church.”

#TrustJesusFirst

“``What receives the deepest hallelujah of your heart? Right? What outcome do you believe you need to have before you can say God is good? What created thing has become the source of your satisfaction or your security or your hope? God's gifts are good but they can't bear the weight of your worship. Maybe you need to just come near to God through the savior that he's raised up. You can't overcome your separation from God by trying harder to be a better person or just being a better worshiper or singing the right words. What what, what you need to do is trust the one who's shed his blood for you. Right? Like that broken guitar string. You gotta trust the one who reaches down to take hold of you and put things right. Turn from your sin. Place your faith in Jesus. Receive what only he can provide.”

#PeaceFromTheGiver

“``This is one of the most remarkable conclusions in all of scripture. Nothing has changed externally. David's enemies remain right there with him. They're slandering him still. The uncertainty of everything David faced still exists. Look at me. The circumstances didn't change, but David still slept. Yeah. He still slept. Come on. There's a there's a theological just truth in the middle of that that we trust God. Why? Because peace comes not from security but from the security giver. Hebrew wording emphasizes you alone, Lord. Not military strength, not public opinion, not financial stability, not favorable circumstances, but you alone means God alone are the one that gives me joy. Amen. So what's God teaching us? Peace is not the absence of problems. Peace is the presence of God amid amid our problems. David's circumstances remain uncertain yet, again, he sleeps peacefully.”

#SteadfastLove

“``Do you run to your show? Do you run to a place of solitude? You wanna get away from people? There's times for all of that. But when life becomes a wilderness, where do you turn for satisfaction? Beloved, David's answer is very clear. It's very clear. Not to circumstances, not to resources, not to human solutions, but David's answer is to God himself. The soul that thirsts for God discovers that his steadfast love is truly, and don't miss this, better than life itself.”

#LastWordsFirstWork

“``These were Jesus's last words recorded for us to enjoy today. All the way in July 2026, if someone knows that you're about to leave, you take serious what that person has to say. So today, for every believer in here, I want to challenge you with this little statement. Now before I say it, I want you to know that works are a reflection of our personal relationship with the Lord. But faith comes by hearing of the word and only by grace can we receive him. So as I share this with you, I want you to know if you are a believer, here's a challenge for you. It's this, that Jesus' last words are our first work. It's our goal. It's our marching orders. It's the thing that we can move towards to trust Jesus in. It's not a work of salvation, but it's an act of worship from a relationship that is overflowing now into others.”

#GodIsWithUsAlways

“He is present. God is with us. It says, even when I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no no danger for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Jehovah Shammah translates the Lord is there. For Christians, it represents the comforting assurance that God is intimately present in every circumstance. Through Jesus, this old testament concept finds this ultimate fulfillment, offering believers the permanent and dwelling of the holy spirit that we will never be abandoned. You go back and look at verses one through three, it speaks. David speaks about God. He says, he, green pastures, still waters, he, valley, In verse four, he begins to speak to God. The language changes. Why? Because suffering, listen to me, suffering if we trust him creates intimacy with God.”

#FullnessOfJoyInGod

“``Well, there's not there's not a single person in here who doesn't want to experience the fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore. I know that's true. That's true of all of us because that actually It's one of the things that drives almost all the decisions that we make in life. If you think about why you do the things that you do. I think about my own life and things that I did. Like, I honestly, I thought that golf I thought I was gonna be a professional golfer and I thought that was going to lead me into the fullness of joy because it was gonna give me this career that was going to give me all this money and I was gonna have everything I needed. That did not happen. And when it didn't, I'll tell you, I was left devastated. I was crushed because you were never meant to find the fullness of joy in things like that. And so when I heard these words, that it does not get more full than full and it does not get longer than forever, that there is the fullness of joy is found only in the presence of God, that hit me different.”

#PeaceBeyondCircumstances

“You'll never understand the fullness of what it means to for all things through Christ who strengthens me until first we come become contented whether we have or we don't have, whether we are poor or we are rich, whether we are sitting in the middle of a hospital room or whether we are sitting on the beach somewhere. We have to understand contentment is not based on circumstance and it's certainly not based on me simply taking a verse out of context and going, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. But we don't read before that and understand that Paul had come to a place There's an attitude that follows that. We have to come to that place. If in your soul you're still at battle of whether or not you get what you want from God and that's the only way you're gonna be contented, you never will be contented. Because when you get what you think you want from God, you'll want something else.”

#LiveInHisPresence

“``He's not just talking about that. He's not talking about going to church and having some spiritual experience where your emotions get raised and then you go home and you are miserable. That's not what he is talking about. We don't just dwell periodically. God wants to put us literally into his presence forever no matter what we go through. We learn to dwell. We learn to love. We learn to understand who he is. Our call is not just to dwell with God in temporary moments or emotion, but to permanently reside with God as evidenced by a life that is transformed by continually standing in his presence. After all, contentment does not begin to begin with shallow spiritual moments, addressing our proximity to God in relation to living a consistent life that reflects his character. His holiness and his love regardless of any human challenges.”

#ResistIsolation

“Let me share something with you. Satan always works in isolation. If he can isolate us, he because why? Because we literally, through technology, can isolate ourselves anywhere we go. Isolation, loneliness. Think about that, what that means. For David, like us, the repetition reflects a cumulative emotional kind of fatigue. We just get tired. I'll be honest with you. I've felt that the last last twelve weeks. Just the everyday. When Debbie fell last week and everything like parking lot for a while, and I'm just going, God, I just don't know.”

#IdentityInChrist

“``Nothing in the Psalm indicates circumstances have changed for David. But yet David says, but Lord, I have trusted in you in the past. The shift for David and us is a decision, not a feeling. It's not about how I feel, it's who I who I am in Christ. We need to own that. He uses the phrase faithful love. It literally means covenant loyalty or relentlessness, undeserved enduring kind of love. David moves from what? Interpreting God through pain and emotions to interpreting his pain through God's character and faithfulness.”

#dependenceOnGod

“Humanity is not placed in the world to rule apart from God. We're placed in God's world to rule under God and receive life from God and receive blessing from God and receive instruction from God and receive authority authority from God and receive our purpose from God. And so what that means is dependence on God is the only way humanity can be what it was meant to be.”

#PeaceInTheNight

“I was scared out of my mind. I couldn't sleep for weeks. I couldn't sleep for weeks, and I remember one night early in the morning reading Psalm three, I'd never read it before, I got to this verse. He said, I lie down asleep and I woke for the word sustain me. I had a peace come over me because every time a car drove by, we didn't know who did the shoe. We were scared what was gonna be us. We didn't know if it was it was a a hit. We didn't know what was going on.”

#OneSurrenderedLife

“God can start something new with one surrendered life, one prayer, one faithful decision, one person fully committed to Christ. Because one day when we leave this world, what's gonna remain? The faith that we share, the prayers that we pray, the example that we live, the God, the gospel that we taught. And maybe generations that come after us will be pointed to Jesus because somebody chose to faithfully pass it on to the next generation. The greatest truth in this entire story is that every chair ultimately points us to Jesus.”

#NoDoubleLife

“``Don't try to live your life half over here and half over here. Don't go to work and act one way at work and one set of language of what we do and how we act and what we say, but yet come here and do something different or even at home, those kinds of things. The bible tells us a double minded man is unstable in all their ways. Bible tells us to be hot or cold, but not lukewarm.”

#EmbraceTheMission

“God's gifted us with a great church and an amazing mission field. And what John is telling those people is now that you've come through all of this, the first thing you need to be thinking is it's not time to sit down and rest. It's time to stand up and go. It's time for us to embrace the mission of Christ. It's time for us to realize that we're all part of this mission. It's time for us to love each other in our families, in our homes, in our community like we've never loved before.”

#ToughLoveTruth

“``We all sin. Understand this, we do not love people by enabling them in their sin to sin more. Does that make sense? We do not enable Yeah, but I'll be judging them. I hear that a whole lot from my students, but they'll feel I'm judged. You're not judging them. The word of God has already judged us. All we're doing is speaking truth. If that person's doing something that's contrary to the word of God and we know the path that's gonna lead them down, how can we say we love them by remaining silent? We can't.”

#BeTheSolution

“You know, we we this is what we need to do. We cannot complain about the deterioration of our culture and the family if we're not part of the solution, all of us. So there's no rebuke. There's just love. It's just love. You know one of things I've told you over and over again, nobody falls through the cracks. In other words, don't rush out to go to the so you'll get at the restaurant before everybody else. If we miss an opportunity to pour into someone else, what good's the lunch. Right?”

#RootedInTruth

“And so in other words, what is it that actually makes a church solid? Right? What makes a church stable? What makes a church the kind of church that can withstand pressure that hits the surface. That's where John's taken us in these opening verses. He shows us that a church will stand firm against deception when the truth of the gospel has become strong enough beneath the surface to create a new kind of people with a new pattern of life.”

#GuardAgainstIdols

“I'm reminded here when he says, guard yourself against idols. This is what he tells me all the time. I've mentioned this before. He says, pay attention to what you're paying attention to. David, pay attention to what you're paying attention to. Watch out those idols will overtake your life.”

#RightWithChrist

“I want you to listen to this. Make no mistake, the ultimate desire in Easter call for every person in this building, for all of us in this world, the Easter message is this, for your life today and forever, is to be in right relationship with Christ because if we're not, we've missed everything. We can have all kinds of money. We can have a nice home. We can drive nice cars. We can do everything in the world. But if we miss this, we miss everything. I am the resurrection of the life. I am the resurrection of life. We don't need to miss him.”

#VictoryOverDeath

“Had Jesus simply just went to the grave and stayed there, then sin and death and hell would have stayed there. But it didn't because why? Because Jesus had never sinned. And because of that, he didn't deserve death, hell, and the grave, but yet he took it for us. And when he resurrected, all of eternity celebrated. Why? Because even now, we have hope. All of us have hope.”

#GrieveBeforeGlory

“We often treat Easter like it's about us. You know, we celebrate the resurrection as we should, but here's what I've discovered. Over the last few years, here's what what Jesus has been laying on my heart. We can never fully celebrate the resurrection of Christ until first we grieve his death. We can't sit here next Sunday and celebrate the resurrection of Christ and think that somehow we did enough to earn that because we did not.”

#ChristConfidence

“Not because your faith is perfect, but because the object of your faith is perfect. Not because your grip on him never weakens from time to time, but because his life and his work and his person and his promises are utterly trustworthy. And he says, you have eternal life if you trust in him and you believe in him, which means in the end, our assurance is not something that comes from self confidence. And I think we mix that up a lot of the time. We think assurance means that we're confident in ourselves. It's not that. It's a Christ confidence.”

#FruitOfFaith

“The Bible says he seals us up until the day of redemption. No one can pluck us out of his hand. But at the same time, if we're depending our eternity based upon a decision that never made a difference in our life, therefore the fruit of God is not alive in us, then we need to take a long hard look of where we really were saved in the first place. I think that's fair because the Bible says, you shall know them by their fruits. So we as his children should look like him, act like him, be like him, as I tell my class, smell like him.”

#PrayYourNeighborhood

“We need to be asked praying for those people around us who don't know Christ. I've talked about this a while back. I gave you cards to write down names that you know people that don't know Christ. We need to be praying for those people every day. We need to be praying for our community every day. We need to be prayer walking the best we can. If you can't walk up and down your street, get in your car, your golf cart, whatever you got, and just ride up and down your street and pray for those people around you. Do that at your workplace. If you're a teacher at school, pray over those desks on those God would open up a door for those families to reach them. Let's start this with prayer. Why? Because I truly believe a prayerless church is a prideful church.”

#ListeningEqualsLove

“Or maybe you've been a church member for a long time, but you've never picked up the towel and the water basin and said, okay, God, where's some feet I can wash? How can I help? How can I sit with someone else and listen to them and love them and care for them? That's what God's calling us to do. Guys, I tell my class to write this down. We just finished this this last week. I do a thing on listing in my class and my A lot of my students are here. They can tell you exactly what I tell them. The number one thing I tell them to write down on top of the page is listening equals love.”

#LoveThatSaves

“And we do that a lot of times too. We we we go, well, Jesus is just love. He just Yes. Jesus is love. He loves everyone but you gotta understand, you know, Romans five eight says, God commended his own love towards us that while we were yet what? Sinners. Sinners. The greatest act of love was that while we were totally the opposite direction of God, God intervened anyway and built a bridge where we could be saved and not face eternal death. That's the kind of love he has for us.”

#SacrificialGrowth

“But behind every bunch is a surprising story. You see banana plants don't produce fruit over and over again like apple trees. Each banana plant bears one bears fruit once, just once. And after that it dies, But it doesn't just die randomly, it dies so that the next generation can live. As the plant matures and produces its single bunch of fruit, it sends out a a sucker or a pulp that that that a new sprout will become the next plant.”

#seekReconciliation

“Spurgeon put it this way. This is what I ended on last week. He said, this love will lead to practical action. Has anybody offended you? Seek reconciliation. Oh, but I am the offended party. So was God. And he went straight away and sought reconciliation. Brother, do the same. Oh, but I have been insulted you might say, just so. So was God. All the wrong was towards him yet he sent. Oh, but the party is so unworthy of my love. So are you, but God loved you in spite of that and sent his son. He says, go right. In other words, go literally do the same.”

#KnowGodIntimately

“know him. When it says, depart from me, I never knew you. That was a word that was transliterated from the Hebrew to the Greek, which literally meant to consummate a marriage. So when he talks about to know God, he doesn't mean just to know about God. He doesn't mean that we just we just memorize, you know, we know the books of the Bible or we know about God or we've been to church. He literally means that we have an intimate abiding living relationship with God. We know him.”

#MissionToSetPeopleFree

“``He knew what his mission was. His mission was to set people free. His mission was to come as our sacrificial atonement. His mission was to pay the full price for our sin that we couldn't pay ourself And God sent himself in the person of Jesus to do that exactly that for us as the Messiah to die to give his life for us. This is what it was. He he embraced his as a passion. We need to be passionate about Jesus. We need to be bold in how we walk. I've mentioned to this to you guys before, but when Paul talks about boldness, he's literally talking about being set free. That's what the word literally means.”

#GroundedInTruth

“I wrote this as I was studying through this, and I just give this to you. It says, the spiritual battle never ends. There will always be false voices seeking to divide and to deceive God's people. And if given opportunity by way of a heart that is not grounded in truth, listen to this, Satan will seek to multiply, to nullify his call in us to abide, love, obey, serve, and multiply the gospel. I'm telling you right now, if we don't let God set up residence in our life, if we're not abiding in him, if we're not training our children to do the same, we're setting our self up for deception and failure.”

#ConfidentInGodsVerdict

“``And I think that's the picture John's painting for us. When your heart is settled by a God who is greater than your heart, you can have confidence before him. The confidence of a child with their father. And that's not the kind of confidence that says, okay, I've I've done enough or I've loved well enough to kinda justify myself before my heart. It's a kind of confidence that says, I I know I haven't, but God's verdict still stands over me.”

#NewLifeNoHate

“It says hate and new life cannot abide together. Literally, if we have new life, we'll realize that those little irritations and stuff are just that. We don't let hate sneak in and rob us of our joy. We don't dehumanize other people because we disagree with them. We don't start just calling them names because we want to cancel them out of our lives. There is no place in scripture where we're supposed to cancel anybody out. The world may do that to us, but God never cancels us out. His mercy, his grace will not allow that. That's how much he loves us.”

#NeverGiveUpSharing

“The only time I've ever been asked, why would God create mosquitoes? I mean, that's what he asked me. And I just said, I don't care. I'm going to share the gospel. I kept sharing the gospel, kept sharing the gospel, kept sharing the gospel, kept sharing the gospel. When I walked out of there that day, he wasn't saved. He got saved two weeks later. Guys, never give up.”

#ChristmasGospelGift

“Christmas is about giving. It's not just about the gift we give that we'll put in a closet and, you know, later on, you know, gift it and give it to somebody else. Come on, you know you've done that. You have. But it's not about that giving. It's about the gospel. It's about the greatest gift of all that we've received through Christ.”

#OneMoreMove

“When Jesus was crucified When his body Was sealed in the tomb When the enemy Cheered And all of hell Shouted out Checkmate Jesus said No, no, no I still have One more move And that movement Became the movement Of joy For the entire world Our joy Does not depend On how our board Looks today Joy depends On the one Who commands The final move Joy is knowingThe story is not over Until Jesus Says it's over That's why Christians Can have joy In their hearts In sorrow Comfort is coming In trials Victory is coming In uncertainty The shepherd is leading In suffering Resurrection is coming Joy Is the confidence In God's Next move”

#PeaceSentinel

“this peace of God God is like a sentinel not just a soldier standing a post this is a sentinel a guardian who does not move does not sleep does not change does not waver and God's peace that sentinel stands between the world and opposition and circumstances and it stands between all of those things and your heart and mind and it stands there protecting and guarding and caring for your heart and mind”

#AnchoredInHope

“``Hope is not mere wishful thinking but a confident and certain expectation of what god has promised it is a future-oriented steadfast trust in god's character and faithfulness serving as an anchor for our soul that provides strength and perseverance through hardship this hope is based on the resurrection of jesus and the promise of eternal life and it gives believers the assurance of salvation and a secure future with god.”

#JesusTakesItAway

“Because Jesus never sinned, he resurrected, therefore we have hope. We have hope, that's what we have. We have hope, we have the promise of God. Number two, sin is our enemy. Everyone who commits sin also breaks the law. Sin is the breaking of the law. In the Bible, sin is defined as anything that goes against God's standard, including any action, thought, or attitude, his law, or shows rebellion against him. Literally, it means this, it means to miss the mark.”

#LongingWithDoubt

“Honestly, that's not too far off from how a lot of us imagine our experience is going to be when Jesus comes back. You know, I think honestly, we long for his presence, you know, and we sing a lot of these songs that we genuinely believe we want him to return and to make things right and we want his peace and we want his kingdom. But there's this other part of us, this part that like knows our track record while he was gone, this part of us that kind of knows our inconsistencies, maybe remembers some of the messes that we've made, the sins we still wrestle with, and we hear Jesus is coming back and then instinctively we kind of step backward a little bit.”

#JesusPaidThePrice

“Guys, there is no doubt Jesus Christ lived. The Father sent him as our payment for our sin because sin entered the world. Creation, God created us to be perfect, to walk with him, but the fall happened, sin happened in the world. In that time they said there would come a time when we would sin, you know, a one between thee and me, which was Jesus, who would come, who would pay the price, who God sent himself in the person of Jesus, who would die, who would live a perfect life and take our sin to the grave, who would physically resurrect. Had he not, how could he overcome this physical body that brings us so much temptation if he didn't live in it? And he was tempted, but yet he never sinned.”

#LoveIsEverything

“If we lose love, then we lose everything. There's nothing left if we don't love each other. It's all too easy for people, you know, in the church to kind of assume that all of this is gonna happen but it's not the truth. We need to love each other. There are three tests, moral, doctrinal, and love. All stand together like the legs on a stool. We need to love each other.”

#DivinePartnership

“God wants partnership with you and with me. He wants to engage us. In a partnership. It's a you, me thing. He's coming to us because he wants to tie up with us to accomplish something for his glory.”

#CleansedInChristNow

“We can do more than merely hope that we will one day be cleansed because what Jesus did on the cross for me and for you, it is we are cleansed today. It starts right now. This is what it is.”

#ResurrectedSavior

“``He took our place, our sin upon himself. He took it to the grave. He stayed there three days. Why? Because you had to be there three days to be declared officially dead. He was there for three days. And what did he do on the third day? He resurrected bodily. Not just as a teaching point for the disciples. Not just as a mystic idea. He resurrected bodily. Why? Because he overcame sin and death and hell. And he left all of that in the grave so that he could say what? I'm the way, the truth, and the life. No man can come to the Father except through me. That's who he is.”

#ReleaseThePast

“``My friend, God loved you so much that he found you and he saved you and he transformed you. Look back at what God has done. Don't just look back on the defense. Look back on the victories. Because when you remember, you're encouraged and you say, man, God, you did it once, you'll do it again. Remember. Remember what he has done in your life, because he will do it again.”
