#BreakTheCycle

“Abraham lied to get out of trouble. Isaac lied. Didn't even make excuse. It got worse because he didn't even see it as wrong. And now Jacob comes along. He doesn't lie to get out of trouble. He lies to get ahead financially. In Genesis 25, he lies to his brother to get ahead financially. In Genesis 27, he lies to his own dad to get ahead financially. Here's the thing for Jacob. Put it up there if we could. Is this, is that lying moves from being a symptom to being a strategy.”

#JesusIsWithYou

“that just because Jesus becomes the author and director of your story doesn't mean your story is easy. You do realize that. Right? I think we would want to exchange our difficult story that we've created for ourselves for one that's easier. And Jesus doesn't promise an easier story. Jesus' promise is this, that what I start, I finish. And that no matter what you walk through, no matter what difficult challenges you walk through, I will be with you. That's what Jesus promises.”

#InvestInTheirHearts

“So look. Let me let me make sure I'm clear today. There is absolutely nothing wrong with leaving your family and inheritance. Nothing wrong with it. Strive for it. Save for it. Make a will for it. But the question you need to ask yourself is this, am I also investing in the people who will inherit it? So let me just give you a hopeful truth. Right? The greatest thing that you leave your family may not be what they hold in their hands, but it is going to be what they hold in their heart. And that's a hopeful truth.”

#EncouragingWords

“And if God gives you that opportunity to speak those encouraging words, you take it. You speak them. Because you might just be a few encouraging words away from reconciliation, from healing. Jesus only took a couple of words to bring people back to life. I think a couple of words can bring a relationship back to life. If God gives you the opportunity, you seize it and you speak it. Because for some of you that are listening to me right now, you're only a few words away, only a few words away from reshaping the future of your family.”

#ChooseGrace

“We can't always control what happens to us. We get to control how we choose to respond. And I want you to think about everything that just happened here. All of Joseph's life is put on display, there's this moment where he could have easily taken revenge. He could have easily stepped in and punished his brothers. He could have thrown them in jail. He could have turned them away and left them to starve, and he could have turned them away. But instead Joseph chose grace. In the midst of all of the hurt, Joseph chose grace.”

#ChooseWhatMatters

“Good things. Land, oxen, marriage. Good things became the reason why they were getting ready to miss the best thing. And I think that same thing is true inside of you and me. The reason why we don't we don't have room for God and for his family isn't because our lives are full of bad things. It's because we simply have a bunch of good things that are in our lives that we're we're allowing to take priority over God and over his family. Work, sports, school, kids, hobbies, responsibilities, success, even entertainment. Not bad things, good things. But are we allowing good things to overtake the great things?”

#OpenHand

“The difference between a closed fist and an open hand isn't what you possess. It's what possesses you. That's the difference. The difference between this, I possess it, and this, it belongs to God. That's the difference. What possesses you? Right? Do you possess it or does it possess you? And this is why money is such a difficult subject. This is why the resources, when we talk about what we've been blessed with, what we've been given, is such a difficult subject. And it's because money represents security, it represents freedom, it represents control, it represents dreams and comfort and success, and Jesus knew all of this.”

#HereIAm

“But notice before before he says send me, he says, here am I. Send me. Before send me comes comes what? Here I am. My avail I'm available. Before God gets your gift, your ability to work through you, he needs your availability. So number four, write this down. Say yes and make your gift available to God. When there's a prompting, this is an opportunity. God, say yes.”

#NotMeantToCarryAlone

“But I know this, there are some people that are in this room that feel exhausted because you've been carrying something that God never intended for you to carry. I know that. There's people carrying weight that you were never meant to carry alone. And where are you going to find people that are going to help you carry that? Sitting in your row? Well, you're like, well, the people sitting in my row love me. Okay, great. That's awesome. They're your family. Or, they're a really close friend. That's awesome. Where are you going to find that in the church? You're going find that in a life group.”

#EverydayFaith

“Well, listen to this. When Jesus when Jesus changes your life, he doesn't just change what you do on Sunday, he changes what you do on Monday. So if you wanna know, what does it mean for growing people to change? It's not just what happens here and what stays here on a Sunday. It's what God does in your life that affects your Monday. It's the way that he changes the way that you think, and he changes your desires. He changes your relationships. He changes your priorities. Right? He changes your reactions to things. He even changes the way that you love. See, spiritual growth isn't becoming a better version of you guys. It's becoming more like him. That's what spiritual growth is. Spiritual growth doesn't just affect you on a Sunday, it affects you on a Tuesday. It changes who you are, not just so that you're a better version of you, but so that you look more like Jesus.”

#ShareJesusOnePerson

“So this week, my friends, if saved people find people, would you do something with me this week that might sound a little scary? Would you go and would you share Jesus and what Jesus has done in your life with just one person this week? Just one person. If if saved people find people, that's what Jesus said and he wants his church to live that, then can we just activate that this week and let's just look for one moment to share one thing that we're excited about, what Jesus has done in our life with someone else?”

#MoveToSee

“He moved from this I'm standing here and I can't see to I'm going to do whatever it takes to see. The truth of the matter is seeking God doesn't mean everything standing in the way is gonna disappear, but it means we intentionally move towards God in spite of it. It doesn't mean that everything in in the way is just gonna suddenly disappear. Your questions, your doubt, your confusion, your grief, your pain, your heartbreak. It doesn't mean that it's gonna disappear, but it simply means that I am going to run ahead and climb a tree and look for God in spite of it.”

#KnownByName

“Here's the next thought that I really wanna encourage you with is this, that God never forgets his people in the storm. Come on. Amen to that. He never forgets his people in the storm. When it feels like you're caught in the storm forever, here's the here's the good news. God knows you by name. That's what he said. God remembered Noah. He knew him by name. He knew all of the animals by species. He didn't forget about them in the storm, and God's not forgetting about you and your storm either. He knows you by name. You never walk through storms alone ever. God knows you better than you know yourself. He's with you right now, and he knows your name. That's good news.”

#PurposeWontDrown

“God's purpose for your life will never drown in the storm. That's why the angel came to Paul and reminded him, hey, bro. This storm is not taking you out. God's taking you through the storm, but it's not going to take you out. And listen to me. This is what happens. Sometimes God saves you through the wreck, not from the wreck. He'll save you through it, but not always from it. It doesn't mean that when you're going through one of life's most difficult storms that god gave up on you, and god doesn't have a purpose for you. Your purpose is not gonna drown in the storm. The storm will subside, and you will go forward and accomplish what God put you on this earth to do.”

#TrustTheCaller

“``Now I want you to see something clearly. Peter didn't go over the boat because he believed in himself. He went over the boat, the side of the boat, and began to walk towards Jesus because he trusted Jesus' words. It wasn't about his faith. It was about trusting the one who called him. And this is this is the lesson here. Faith is not confidence in ourself. Faith is confidence in the one who called us.”

#GreaterThanTheStorm

“``You might go, well, yeah, but you don't know my storm. I go, well, then you don't know my God. It doesn't matter what the storm is. It could be the storm that I'm walking through right now. It could be the storm you're walking through. It could be the storm my friends are walking through. God is greater than your storm. Period. Sermon's over. I could walk away right there.”

#RescueStorms

“``I think the idea here that we wanna focus on today is this, that sometimes God sends a storm to bring you back, not to break you down. Let that just sink in for a second. Sometimes, God sends storms to bring us back, not just to break us down. So notice these these few things. Let me point out three things really quick about weathering the storm that I see with with Jonah's life here. Number one, that disobedience is what invited turbulence. It was the disobedience of of Jonah that invited the turbulence. Jonah's storm wasn't a random storm. Jonah's storm was a rescue storm. Jonah's storm was God's love going, I love you too much to let you be comfortable and you running away from me, running away, not just from me, but running away from my heart. My heart filled of mercy and my heart filled of grace. That's what he was saying.”

#FaithRemembers

“So they questioned Jesus' heart. And so if we could be real, that's this is where our faith often gets stretched and struggles. Right? When the storms of life are are raging around us, we sometimes wonder I don't know about you, but this has been me. I've sometimes wondered, God, do you care? Sometimes we wonder, God, do you care that what my family is going through right now? God, do you care what's going on in my marriage or or my finances? Do you care? My health? Here's the point, and I want you to write this down. I want you to get capture this in your heart. Fear questions God's heart, doesn't it? But faith remembers his history. Fear causes us to question, God, do you even care? But faith that he gives us and he perfects in us, it helps us to remember his track record, his history.”

#SurrenderDaily

“``But can I tell you that picking up your cross gets a whole lot easier? This understanding that it's surrender daily, it gets way easier when you remember the destination that Jesus has for you, an abundant life, that he's gone there before you, that he knows what it takes to get there. And so how do you do that practically each and every day? If you're wondering, how do I pick up my cross? Can I just encourage you? You know, when you wake up, before you negotiate, before you try to take the wheel, before you decide who you're going to follow that day, maybe it's a prayer that you can say something along the lines of this. It'll be up on the screens if you wanna take a picture as a reminder. But, Jesus, today, it's your way over mine. Lead me today. Help me trust you today. Help me to follow you today. Would you be the navigator of my life today? And it's this understanding that I'm surrendering my day because I'm called to pick up my cross daily.”

#KingdomHereNow

“``If Jesus wanted us to just escape out of here, the Lord's prayer would be much different. Wouldn't it? Yes. I mean, he would've he would've said, our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. This place sucks. Get me out of here quick. Right? If that was what it was supposed to be, it's like getting out of here, Jesus would have prayed something much different. But that's not what he said. He didn't say pray, get me out of here. He said, pray this. Father, your kingdom come. Your will be done on this earth as it is in heaven. I believe we can see cultural transformation. And I believe that it needs to start with us.”

#PursuedByGod

“God's been pursuing you all along. He's never stopped. The Lord is your shepherd. He was pursuing you. David just wraps it up, and he reminds us he's still pursuing you. His goodness has been pursuing you. His mercy has been protecting you. His presence has been inviting you. You've sensed his presence. Last couple weeks, man, there's just been a strong sense of God's presence in our worship. The presence of God is inviting you, and the house of the Lord has been prepared for you.”

#HopeInTheValley

“``There is hope. I just want you to know that today, that in the middle of your dark valley, you can also be a blessing to others. In the middle of your dark valley, your testimony can proclaim the goodness and the faithfulness of God. Your valley is not the evidence of God's absence. Your valley your valley is an opportunity to display the amazing authority of God. And when your cup overflows, let me tell you what happens in your heart. Your heart is full of hope.”

#LightOverDarkness

“So I want you to think with me about this for a second. Just logically. Think logically right now. Alright? This doesn't take a lot of science to figure this one out. A shadow. How how is a shadow even formed? Right? A a shadow for a shadow to be to be formed, light has to be present. If you step outside into the sun, the sun's shining from one angle, and it's casting a shadow on the other side. That even when you walk through the deepest, darkest valleys of your entire life, there if you would look up from where your help comes from, you'll look up to Christ who is the light and extinguishes the darkness.”

#InStepWithTheShepherd

“So many times, we're like, cool. I got my renewal. Let let now let me go. Now let me move. But we have to understand that this rest and the renewal that the shepherd brings is so he can guide you along the right path, not the path that we think, the right path bringing honor to his name. Did you know that a shepherd's reputation was based on the condition of his sheep? And so as sheep who are following this shepherd, Galatians five twenty five puts it this way, since we live by the spirit, let us keep in step with the spirit. Or maybe you can say it this way, Since we live by the spirit, let us keep in step with the shepherd. Let us keep in step. He restores your strength so you can change your direction.”

#GoodShepherdSacrifice

“Our shepherd, the son of God, he didn't just point the way. He laid down his life. In John 10, Jesus picks up David's pen and finishes his thought. In verse 11, he says, I am the good shepherd, and the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. It's what the shepherd looks like. You see, on the cross, Jesus experienced a ultimate abandonment as he took on himself the sin of the world.”

#FaithAtHome

“See, faith survives through ordinary women in ordinary places, and faith is caught in our homes. So like the verse said, tell your children. We don't have to build altars anymore church. We don't have to sacrifice because Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice that connects us to our heavenly father. We don't have to do that now. So today if you haven't been walking with Jesus or maybe you're walking far from him, you've never made that commitment, today is the day church. It's the first and most important thing that you can do to build a life of legacy.”

#PresenceTransforms

“You can't go on mission by just forcing yourself to tell other people about Jesus, and you can't go on mission just by feeling guilty or shameful for the fact that you've turned inward in your faith. There's only one way you go on mission, and that's this, being with Jesus in his presence. That's the answer. See, if being with Jesus in his presence doesn't change you, then you aren't in the presence of the right Jesus. Because when you're in the presence of Jesus, he will change you from the inside out. So how do we go on mission? Get closer to the heart of Jesus. The closer you are to the heart of Jesus, the more your heart beats for the same thing that Jesus' heart beats for.”

#ServeNotSpectate

“But you weren't made to be a spectator. If you're a follower of Jesus, you weren't made to be a pew warmer. You were made to be a participant in the greatest rescue mission in all of human history. And when you say yes to serving, you aren't just helping out a pastor or helping out a ministry team. You're not just helping out the church. You are stepping into the very purpose for which you were created. So let's stop storing the gifts, hiding them in a closet. Start using them. Let's live the yes. Amen. Would you stand with me? God, thank you for your multicolored grace that you've given this church. You have unique gifts sitting in this room.”

#LonelinessIsHarmful

“``It's been said that loneliness and chronic loneliness loneliness is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day to your body. And so there's these there's these raw stats and and and statistics and things that we understand about loneliness and isolation. But long before science discovered it, God spoke it in his word. God specifically talks about how we were meant to do life together. In Ecclesiastes chapter four verses nine through 10, it says this, two people are better off than one, For they can help each other succeed if one person falls, the other can reach out and help, but someone who falls alone is in real trouble.”

#VineTransformation

“But Jesus says, look. If you really wanna know who you are, then be connected to the vine. Because it's when you're connected to the vine that Jesus will change your DNA. He'll change the way that you think. He'll change your values. He'll change your desires. He'll change your dreams. And how will he do it? He will do it in a way that many people are going, don't, Jesus. Don't do it. He says, look. Because I love you, I will prune you.”

#SayYesToJesus

“Say yes to him and believe that that is enough, and then go tell the world about it, then you'll be saved. So let me ask you today, since Jesus already said yes to you, what's really keeping you from saying yes to him? Since before this world was created, he said yes to you, What's keeping you from saying yes to him? When he went to the cross, he was saying yes to you. What's keeping you from saying yes to him? While you had your back turned towards him, he said yes to you. What's keeping you from saying yes to him? There should be nothing that stands in the way. Although, be excuses, and there'll be thoughts, none of them are relevant compared to the amazing grace and the love of Jesus Christ.”

#ContentmentInSavior

“So the secret of contentment is not about having a perfect life. My dad didn't have a perfect life. I don't have a perfect life. The secret is about having a perfect savior that has a perfect purpose for me. Paul was content because his new he knew that his life was a part of a bigger story, that while he was sitting there in prison, God, you are working all things for my good. All things, including this prison. So today, I wanna encourage you, stop the if then game.”

#PeaceOfGodWithin

“Okay. But then what is the peace of God? The peace of God isn't something that I have to work really hard to get my hands on and to to acquire. It's not that. It's the it's God himself being close to us, ruling my heart and my mind, letting him be the leader and the Lord of my life. And when the God of peace lives in you, he guards your heart and your mind in a peace that exceeds anything you can explain or understand.”

#AllInFaith

“I'm gonna tell you that's not the approach you wanna be taking. What does the harder approach look like? Well, listen to it because when I say it, it probably doesn't sound very hard. But here's what it looks like. It's this. It's believing that I am saved by faith, not by works. However, I'm leaning in, and I'm gonna give Jesus my very, very best today. That's the harder approach. Because you do know that all of us in this room and everybody listening to me realizes that to give Jesus my very best today means I'm gonna have to say no to some things that I really want to have to say I really would like to say yes to.”

#JoyBeyondComfort

“And the world tells us this, you gotta protect your life, you gotta protect your comfort, you gotta protect your time. But Paul is saying, even if I lose my life, I'm gonna be joyful. And that's a different level of joy and purpose. That is an an intense extreme level of joy and purpose. And Jesus teaches that, man, those of us who cling on to our life so tightly, we don't get to share and live in the joy and the purpose that extends beyond our circumstances or comfort. And so Paul is saying, no matter what happens, I'm gonna live a life that's full of joy because I lived a life full of purpose. That's exactly what Paul is saying here. And so if that's the life that we all wanna live,”

#ImitateChrist

“Guys, you wanna take the imitation of Christ to the next level? Parents, do you realize that your children are imitating you? So who are you imitating? Wow. That's a great question. I should probably stop right there and just ponder that for a moment, but I'll let you off the hook. That's what Paul did. Paul took it to another level. Didn't take it take it beyond a parenting thing and now take it to, like, a a discipling relationship like Paul's taking it to. Like, with a group of strangers, and he's going, I'm not perfect, but as I imitate Jesus, you can imitate my life.”

#StrengthThroughPressure

“Now, if we were to think about it, we don't necessarily believe that those things in our life make us stronger, but we subconsciously treat those things as if they're evidence that we are strong, as if strength equals comfort. But how many have ever heard no pain, no Gain. No gain. Right? Because pressure provides the stimulation to our not only in our physical body to grow stronger, but also in in our fit in our faith and in in life.”

#SurrenderToGrow

“So maybe our action step right now is just to stop and surrender and say, God, wanna surrender to your shaping process in my life. Because that's where spiritual maturity begins. Spiritual maturity begins when there's submission to God and we start looking inward again and not just outward. Just look inward for a minute. Just stop for a moment right now and just say, God, what are you doing in me?”

#NumberOneDraftPick

“Guys, Jesus is saying to you today that you are his number one draft pick. I don't care who you are. It doesn't matter what you've done. I know you know, like, all the failures of your life. They they play through your mind like a movie constantly. That's because you have an enemy, an enemy who wants to keep you from the love of a father who picked you to be on his team.”

#SpiritualROI

“``Put your greatest value on spiritual ROI, not earthly ROI. Earthly ROI will be eaten by the moths and the rust and the decay and a stock market that crashes sometime, an investment that goes south. ROI, earthly ROI is not always up and to the right, my friends. Spiritual ROI can always be up and to the right. Meaning, can get better and better and better.”

#BetterToGive

“It hurt, but it felt so right. And so why is that the case in our life? Why is it sometimes that giving can hurt but feel so right? Well, think Jesus told us exactly why. Jesus said this, that it is better to give than it is to receive. So at our very core, when we're fighting against our flesh, when it comes to our spirit, God has designed us to give. And that when you give, it is actually better to do that than it is to receive.”

#JoyfulSacrificialGiving

“``But we give to a lot of things. We give to organizations. We give to people. And there's a cost associated with giving. And sometimes you can give, and it hurts. Sometimes you can give to people, and it hurts. Sometimes you can give to organizations, and it hurts. And so I wanna unpack that just a little bit. Why does generosity hurt sometimes? Why does giving hurt us sometimes? Well, I think really at our core, generosity goes against our human nature, and it goes against what the world tells us to do.”

#GiveFromWhatYouHave

“``See, never believe the lie. Never believe the lie. When I make more, I'll give more. Don't believe that lie. If I make more, I'll give more. If you said that, you won't do it. I don't care who you are. It doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter what your name is. It doesn't matter what your your where you come from. It doesn't matter the condition of your heart. If you make more, you're not gonna give more. Why? Because that's not the way it works. You you don't get more and then give more. You start giving with what you have.”

#DecideBeforePayday

“And it all comes down to this one simple fact. You have to predetermine what you're gonna do with your money, because if you don't predetermine what you're gonna do with your money, your money will determine what you're gonna do with it. It's really that simple. You have to predetermine what am I gonna do with this paycheck before that paycheck ever shows up. Because if you don't, you know, you're smart enough. I even saw some people smile at me when I made that statement. Your money will tell you what to do with it, And that means your money is gonna be in control. So how do you predetermine what you're gonna do with your money? Well, you have to decide. God, I'm gonna honor you with this portion of my paycheck. Now I'm recommending to you because the Bible is the one that teaches it, that we put the first 10%, and we give it to the Lord.”

“I was like, oh, wow. Okay. Confirmation. This is God. So you know what we did? We didn't do what you would typically do. We didn't go, well, let's pray about it for three days, seven days, or a month. No. Because we both knew God was speaking. So what do we do? We picked up the phone right then and there, and we called that couple.”

“And stronger is really just a walk through the book of Philippians. It's got four chapters, and we're gonna take seven weeks to go through it. So we're gonna kinda slow down a little and go through it. Why? Paul wrote it when he was in prison. And when he wrote this, he was writing it, and he was helping us to see what does true spiritual strength or true spiritual maturity look like. And he says to us, look, in this book, he goes, it's not about age or knowledge or comfort. It's about learning to think and to trust and to live like Christ even when life doesn't go as planned.”

#RescuedAndSurrendered

“Maybe that's you. Maybe you had a really low moment this year. Maybe God rescued you from the pit of despair. Maybe you surrendered your life to Jesus this year and you can't help but be thankful to God for what he's done in your life. If that's you, man, we celebrate with you and we for sure want you to remember that.”

#PrayBeforeSleep

“so maybe tonight when you lay down in your bed what if you did a couple of things what if you stopped for a moment you thanked god god thank you for this amazing day what if you what if you just prayed about the day that's getting ready to come and then what if before you fell asleep you said god if there's anything you want to speak to me i'm your servant and i'm listening this and just see what god does who knows who knows what god will do i have no idea”

#ChooseGodNotSin

“``When you choose independence, rebellion against God, when you choose I'm going to live my life the way I want to, forget what the Bible has to say. That's called sin. And when you go down the road of sin, no matter how destructive it looks or how minor it seems, sin always does the same thing. It separates us from God. And as you are separated from God, you are separated from the belief that God has good things for you. And the enemy gets a chance to work inside of your life in that way. Now, look, I want to be clear. God hates sin. But God does love you.”

#DoubtNotDisbelief

“``super clear.Just because you're doubting that God can provide doesn't mean that you're lacking all faith.Because, look, to lack faith means that you don't believe.So doubt isn't the opposite of faith.Unbelief is the opposite of faith.You could go up and down in this meter without losing complete faith.And it happens to all of us all the time.”

#PaidInFull

“``But when Jesus came, he didn't just make a payment. He made the payment sufficient to clear the debt. How would you like to send in your mortgage payment this month and for the mortgage company to send it back to you and say, somebody has paid it off. Come on, that should get an amen at church. Some of you might think, well, that might be prophetic for you. We would love that, wouldn't we? Well, on the cross, Jesus said, it is finished.”

#rescuedByJesus

“``Heaven will not be full of people saying, I nailed it. I deserved an A. It will be full of people saying, I was drowning in a mess of my own making and Jesus rescued me. Jesus rescued me. The only thing that we nailed is the Savior to the cross because of our sin. But he offers us a grade that we didn't earn, we didn't deserve because of what Jesus done. And then he continues his work within us. God doesn't end with rescue. A get-out-of-jail-free card.”

#FutureLeadersNow

“When we think about young adults, college students, those in their early 20s, many times we look at them and we're like, hey, you are a future leader. And I believe that. I believe that they are our future leaders, okay? Because, I mean, look, at some point, I'm not going to be at the age of like being the leader up here, right? Like there's going to be transition. We all transition. If you stay on this planet long enough, you transition, all right? But what I believe, and I think it's like crucial to the future of the church, is that people in their college years or in their early 20s are not just the future Christian leaders.”

#StoreTreasureInHeaven

“We live in a world driven by money, but what we don't know how to do very well is we don't know how to store up treasure in heaven. And this is what Jesus focused on. We know how to deal with money on earth, but do you know how to store up treasure in heaven? And today, that's what I want to talk to you about. How do you store up treasure in heaven?”

#EnemyTargetsFutureTerritory

“You know, when Jesus was born, Herod comes along and says in an orchestra, orchestrates it with the enemy and they kill all the babies under two years old. Why? Because I think the enemy looked over at Jesus and said, oh, he's a baby right now, but I see what he's going to become. He wasn't concerned about Jesus' territory. He was concerned about his future territory.”

#EnemyFightsForTerritory

“The enemy's fight isn't necessarily with you. The enemy is always fighting, help me out, for our what? Come on, help me out. What is it? He's always fighting for our territory. That's why some of us have kids in here that aren't serving God. Some of us have grandkids that aren't serving God. Some of us have our finances that are a mess. Some of us have our marriages that aren't going well. Why? Why is that happening? Because he's not as much concerned with you as much as he's concerned with the territory. He's always coming after the territory.”

#CalledAtAnyAge

“Just because you say, Oh, I'm retired and I'm pushing 80-something. I've heard of testimonies of people that have been called, you know, a little bit further in the mileage of their life. And God uses them as well. Okay? Come on now.”

#EverydayWordRhythm

“God, in His infinite wisdom, was not interested in creating His Word so that we could just randomly, from time to time, hear it on a Sunday morning. God doesn't want His Word just to be a Sunday morning memory to you, to me, to our children, to those that we care about in our church family, or in our chosen family. He wants it to be an everyday rhythm.”
