#LeadWithCompassion

“Well, the Edomites was pride and refusal to help Israel and Judah in terms of need and participation in plundering them brought great consequences. And and and this this passage invites us to recognize that sin, harmful action and good, we leave undone. Rather than taking pleasure in another hardship, we are called to respond with compassion and practical care.”

#HumanDignity

“We we do all that. We sent that message. We sent that message. But because of free will, they chose to listen to someone else. And and listen. In times of racial division, we must remain faithful by defending human dignity, standing with those who are mistreated, and building communities shaped by love and equal regard. You see, persistent godliness means refusing hatred while pursuing justice so that every family, everyone, every family, and every child may experience safety, belonging, attention, and care.”

#FaithInGod

“We we have to let these young people know that if they wanna make it in this world, they have to believe in something so that they must... The best thing I can... The best advice I can give you is to believe in God. The best advice... The advice I can give you is to have faith in God. The the best advice I can give you to let you know that Jesus Christ have died for you upon the cross, and he's working in your favor right now. That's the message.”

#FollowJesusNotComparison

“And the comparisons with with others should be avoided. We should compare ourselves with nobody. He said that right there. That should be avoided. Focusing and staying on following Jesus' example. So that's telling us right now that we don't have to look at what nobody else doing. We just do what God tell us to do, and we're okay. He's saying it right there. and and the the natural the natural law of harvesting what one's plant plants apply spiritually and socially. Planning to please god yields joy and eternal life Here we plan to please God while selfishness leads to sorrow.”

#FaithOverFear

“empowered them with courage to stand firm in their faith during difficult times. So that's that's what I'm saying. We have to have courage, and we have to stand firm with our faith with our faith in difficult times. Difficult times shouldn't stop us from going to church. Difficult time shouldn't stop us from speaking the word of god. Difficult time shouldn't stop us from doing anything, but coming to church and and doing god's will. Difficult time should never stop us from telling the truth. Should never stop us from telling the truth.”

#KnowYourPath

“And that's why I always speak of, about the the... Where the church is going. That's why I always speak about, our past generations and our... And the generation that we have before us because I wanna know... I want you to know the past that God has set for us because you need to know that. You need to know your path. When you don't know your path, what which... What can you do? What do I do? Because I don't know the path path that that, we're going. So I always want you to know the path that God has us going so you can understand where we are going.”

#TruthOverLies

“And that it don't matter where you what what side you're on. You have to you have to wean out the truth. That is so important. A truth coming from God. And the truth is the truth. What whether I know there's unbelievers out there that that, sees this message. I know there's unbelievable, unbelievers out there, but the truth is still true. Two plus two is four no matter how you look at it. You can't you can't change it nowhere. If somebody come and tell you and tell you two plus two is five, that's a lie. And you know it's a lie. Then how could you believe me? But someone will try. Someone will try. They'll they'll go into all kind of calculus with you to try to try to get you off course. But those don't let don't let anyone get you off course.”

#MoreThanEnough

“Because what they had because five loaves and and and two fish were not enough in their hands, but they were more than enough in the hands of Jesus. See, we have more than enough because of who we serve, because of Jesus. We have more than enough. Reaching the unchurched thoughts with what we can offer. And that's why I wanna let you know we can we offer a lot. That's what it does. It starts with what we can offer.”

#SpiritOverFlesh

“That's that's in the word of god. Life in the spirit removes the fear of death because the flesh no longer has the final word. You don't want flesh to have the final word. You want your spirit to have a final word. Your spirit to overcome the flesh. Your spirit will tell you to do the right thing. Your spirit is that thing that you should call something told me not to do that. When you have the spirit of God, you don't have something no more. When you have the spirit of God in, you have the spirit of God told me not to do that. The spirit of god told me to do this. The spirit of god told me to walk this way. The spirit of god told me to walk that way. It's the spirit of god within you.”

#DigInAndServe

“``We we have to we have to dig in. And and god is building is the one doing the work. But we he's he we all we have to do is dig in, and they gonna they gonna have to come in. They will have to come into the spot in which god's god has guided them to come in there, and we just have to be ready. We just have to be ready, and we're gonna be ready. Let the enemy see you staying. Not so much not so you can be intimidated, but so the light of god can expose and confront the darkness. And once darkness is exposed, we do not attack people. We minister to the broken places where the darkness has tried to take root.”

#StartNowNotLater

“But sometimes when we say we go we're going on to the next chapter our life, we say things like, well, when this get better, then I can move on to my other chapter. Sometimes we may say, well, I need to stop doing this in order for me to start the next chapter of my life. We might say things like, I may need to change jobs in order for me to start the next chapter of my life, or we may say things like, well, well, I need to get some worn out of my life in order for me to start the next chapter of my life, but that ain't what Jesus said. He did not let whatever happened in that last chapter, he did not what he he did not let what happened in the last chapter stop him from fulfilling the the the assignment in the next chapter.”

#NewCovenantBringsUsNear

“``And and if you feel far from God, Christ has made a way for you to come near. That's what the new custom covenant has done. If you weighs on your conscience, his blood is able to cleanse. That's what the new covenant has done. And if you wonder whether God's promise is secure, remember that Christ's sacrifice was once for all all. And because of Jesus, we have forgiveness, eternal redemption, and an an eternal inheritance. In the end, that's what we have. In the end, that's what we have.”

#WorldChangedMessageEvolves

“Because the world is a different place than it was fifty years ago. Yes. A different place than it was a hundred years ago. So the message changes the message changes. People are more we have more educated people. We have people that have better understanding of the word of God. But what we have to do, we have to make sure we articulate the word of God where all people can understand. And not only that, we just can't keep going back to what God has fulfilled for us already.”

#MissionaryEars

“Which mean that that we should read first Timothy two with missionary ears, with spiritual ears. Paul wants truth, but he also wants that truth to be heard. He wants order, but he also wants souls to be saved. He wants the church to be distinct, but he does not want unnecessary offense to bury the message of Christ beneath confusion, spectacle, or disorder. His ultimate concern is that people come to the knowledge of the truth because thou is one god, one mediator between god and men, the man Jesus Christ.”

#ForgiveAndBuild

“You are kind and humble, my brother. After all I have done and said to you, you still show that blood relations can never be broken. I am truly sorry for my behavior. The younger brother said as he hugged his elder brother, they turned to see the carpenter horse, his toolbox on his shoulder. No wait. Stay a few days. I have a lot of other projects for you, said the older brother. And he said, I love to stay on the carpet and say it, but I have many more bridges to build.”

#FromBrokenToFixed

“I know he I know he he had fixed a lot of things in my a lot of things he had fixed in my life. My life was upside down. But gosh fixed it, that I was patient. I was patient. I was very patient. I had to go all the way to all the way to Iraq for God to fix my problem in a war zone for God to fix it. But but he but but he ordered my steps. He ordered my steps, and my steps ended up putting me in Iraq in a war zone, and my problem was fixed.”

#HopeThroughResurrection

“And and and and and but he wanted to he he he mentioned to about the resurrection because he wanted us to minister to the world about hope. There's always hope. And that's he he told about, yes. I'm a get crucified. Yes. I'm going to die, but there's hope because I'm gonna rise again. That go your hope right there.”

#UnchangingWord

“And so so so things have shifted a little bit. It has shifted a little bit. You know, the way people, the way we engage with the church is not same as when my parents was there, the way my my parents engaged with the church. So so it's different. Now we we have to and but faith is the same. We still have to have faith in god. That that never change. The the the word of god, what the word of god say in the Bible, that never changes. That's still the same.”

#GetUpOnYourOwn

“If if nobody there to pick you up, get up. Yeah. Ain't no ain't nobody there to reach their hand down to you and and pull you up. You get up on your own. Ain't nobody there to say a kind word to you and and and and and tell you to get up, get up on your own. When you and and when you get up, when you get up alone and move what god wants you to move. So be on your guard, stand firm in faith, be courageous, and be strong. Be all of it. But that's what god has you here for. Yeah. That's what the prodigal son is all about.”

#FightForJusticeNow

“Right now, we have to only have to fight for justice right now. Yeah. With what's going on in our society right now, it's important that we fight fight for justice. It might not be us personally, but it's someone we know. We know some things that's going on right now in our political scene. It's not right. It's not right.”

#FaithOverFear

“You see, Paul's act of shaking off the snake is symbolizes an attitude of faith that that refuses to be paralyzed by fear or consumed by bitterness. And there's a fear and bitterness. Fear and bitterness.”

#GraceEmpowersFreedom

“But what it's teaching us is that grace is not a license to sin. No. It it is the power to live free from it. It grace don't give you a license to sin, but what it does, it gives you power to live free from sin. You don't have to sin because of grace. God give you power in order for you not to sin. You have the power. That's what grace does.”
