#BeKnownByGod
“Do we wanna be okay with how we love our lives and take that chance that God says, never knew you? I don't wanna take that chance. I wanna try everything I can so when I get up there, that gate is open. And if I can't get anything else through today, continue to build your wall. Be don't leave a doubt of when you see our maker that you are confident. And he says, I knew you.”

#CreateBelonging
“``Notice the order. Jesus does not send the disciples before reminding them who they are. Their mission grows out of their identity and the same is true for us. The church is not called merely to talk about belonging. The church is called to create belonging, To become a place where people know I matter here. My voice matters here. My gifts matter here. My presence matters here. Belonging is more than being welcomed through the door. Belonging is knowing there is a place for you at the table, a place for your gifts, for your stories, for your voice, for your life. As followers of Jesus, we are sent into the world to reflect that kind of love. We are sent to notice those who are over lived, to include those who have been excluded, to help others discover that they are beloved children of God.”

#PaulAndLutherOnBaptism
“But Paul is not only talking about physical death and physical resurrection, Paul is also talking about spiritual death and spiritual resurrection. In the act of baptism, we die to sin and are raised to new life in Christ Jesus. This is where the when you baptize by immersion in the water, the visual is so powerful. Going under the water, dying to self. Right? And then coming back up, being resurrected to new life. It's a spiritual death and a spiritual resurrection. Jumping ahead fifteen hundred years, we come to this guy named Martin Luther. Martin Luther was one of the greatest protestant reformers of the 15. He gave a lot of thought to these deep theological questions including baptism. And he had a little book called the little instruction book or the small catechism where Martin Luther addressed this issue, sacrament of baptism. And so with some help from Gary and from Tony, we are going to catechize ourselves, do a little bit of Lutherism here, and look at some of his questions on baptism.”

#PassOnRevival
“But today, I declare that the mantle of prayer shall not die in our homes. The mantle of worship shall not die in our homes. The mantle of holiness shall not die in our homes. Every father will be strengthened. Every family altar will be rebuilt. Every prodigal child will hear the voice of God. The next generation will not inherit it inherit compromise, but they'll inherit conviction. They will not inherit fear, but they'll inherit faith. That they will not inherit religion, but they will inherit revival. The mantle will land somewhere. And by the grace of God, our children will pick up and carry it further.”

#AlwaysWithYou
“And you are gonna face some hard times. You are gonna face people that don't like what you're going to say. Let's just think about it. He's coming from the kingdom of heaven into the Roman Empire, and he is telling them that love wins. The power of Jesus is stronger than anything on this earth. Do not be afraid. Go. Teach. Proclaim the good news and heal and cure the people. Tell them the stories that you know. How I just told you about my dad. I told you about Jesus in my life. It's that easy. Because and if you feel uncomfortable and you're afraid to do it, keep doing it. Keep practicing. Keep over and over. Because I tell you, you have nothing to fear. Those little sparrows that nobody even thought they were worth anything, he goes, I'm not gonna let them fall to the ground. Do you think I would let you fall? I have you right here in the palm of my hand. I know every hair on your head. I know everything about you. You cannot hide anything from me. If you are fearful, I know it. If you are scared of anything, I know it. I am with you always.”

#JesusEnables
“Jesus comes to Lazarus. Now watch this. Jesus comes to Lazarus and he says, come forth. Who is Jesus talking to? Lazarus. What condition is Lazarus in? As a dead man, could Lazarus do that? Could not. A dead man cannot come forth. A dead man cannot move. A dead man can't even hear the command to move, much less actually move. You with me? So Jesus, when he says Lazarus come forth, Jesus is giving Lazarus an impossible command. He's telling Lazarus to do what Lazarus cannot do. Unless unless Jesus gives him the ability to do it.”
74s
#HardnessOfHeart
“Hardness of heart. There's two words in the gospel of Mark that are used for hardness of heart. One of the words means a stubborn refusal to listen. Hardness of heart. The other means calloused. A calloused heart. A heart that has been through all kinds of stuff, and it's calloused. It's no longer feeling anything. The calloused heart can be compared to an ear that gets clogged, full of stuff, and it's just unable to hear anymore because something is there. It's calloused. Are you with me? The other hardness of heart is you're able to hear, but it doesn't matter what you hear. Your mind is set anyways. You're gonna do what you wanna do. That's a different hardness of heart.”
52s
“Where we expect God to show up oftentimes is here, but a lot of times it shows up at the VFW right across the parking lot. Or it shows up at Baker's Pizza or at Mark's ice cream shop. You see, Paul in our story did not bring God to Lydia. He witnessed to what God was already doing in her life. He named the movement of the spirit working and that was present already there. And how do we know that Lydia's heart was transformed in that moment? Because her life changed. She was baptized along with her whole household.”
35s
#SpiritualWallDaily
“But our spiritual wall, we have to build that all the time. Do you think coming here on Sundays and listening to somebody preach, how good a wall do you think you're gonna have? Because when you get out there on Monday and you go to work or you're retired all sin, every time we sin, it tears it down a piece of our wall. You have to build that wall every day.”
46s
#PrayReadServe
“Praying to Jesus. Always can help build a wall. Reading the Bible, learning Christ can always help build a wall. And thirdly, your works that you do when you go out there. Do you think Satan goes comes after people that don't have a wall? Why would he? There's no sense in it because he there's no wall to tear down. But the people who have that wall, he wants to tear down so bad, And he will. The the more of a Christian you are, the more the devil's coming after you. We have to continue to build that wall.”
