#ShareTheGoodNews
“When you have this eyes when you have this sight, when you see it the way it is, this way you say, you know what? I'm getting this job. I'm working here, or I'm living in this place, in this community, because God has placed me here. And if God has placed me here, this means that there's something that I can do to share this good news, this new wine to those around us. Because the religious system, they could not fathom that this was happening.”

“Don't be like one of those people, you know, where problem comes or a trial comes, and you try this, this, this, this, this, this, and there's no answer. Right? There's nothing. Nothing seems to be working, and so you double up and you try harder. This, this, this, this, this, this, this. And then you're finally, like, with a prayer group or something like this. Right? And, someone says, you know, what week have you prayed about it? And you're like, well, not really. Or, like, someone finally says, you know, we should pray about this. And, somebody else is like, has it come to that? You know, like, prayer right off the bat. You hear me? Prayer right off the bat. Like, bring god into it right off the bat. He says, I will call upon the lord.”

#QuietTimeWithGod
“We fail to see that because we're getting dis discipled by social media, by news, people, by friends, by all kinds of things. But how good would it be that we can shut everything off and just say, Lord, I want to spend time in your presence. Whether it's five minutes, ten, fifteen, an hour, two, or a day that you can say, I want to spend this time with you because I know that by doing this, I will grow in my faith, and I will grow in a relationship with you. Amen.”
33s
#CompassionOverLaw
“So the religious people, they didn't care about the paralyzed man that got healed. Oh, no. It was a Sabbath. You shouldn't be doing that. The religious people didn't care that these guys were going hungry. You can't pick grace through the field to pick food to eat. You can't do that. So what happened here is that they placed this law above the human relationship that they had with one another, and knowing that it's so much easier for others to go through that than myself. Right?”
31s
#IntentionalRest
“Have you done that in your life? Because I know we struggle at our home. We struggle just to having this day of rest. It's like I I I have to I have to be intentional in not doing anything because if I'm not intentional in not doing anything, guess what? I will do something. I will always do something. That's in our nature. That's in our in our DNA. We always want to be doing something.”
41s
#DivineDisruption
“Who here likes disruptors in their lives? Yeah. Exactly. Right? We want the same. We want the same breakfast. We want the same food. We want the same way to work and back. We want the same friends, the same family. Every time anytime there is some sort of disruption, we tend not to like it too much. But we will see in this passage that Jesus did not do things the ordinary way. He did it in a way not just to provoke, but to show that there was a new kingdom coming. That the new king has arrived, and now things will be different from now on.”
37s
#SeeThePerson
“To everyone else, Levi was a traitor. He was not only a tax collector, he was a traitor. A traitor of the Jewish people, a traitor for Israel, but above all, he was a traitor How can you charge your own people money and give it to the Gentiles? That's despicable. But as Jesus walks by, he doesn't see a traitor. He does not see a tax collector. Who does he see? He sees the person. He sees the person in need.”
35s
#DontWaitToFollow
“I like this passage because this is something that many times the world gets wrong. I talked to people outside the church. I've been talking to people outside the church all the time. And you know the number one reason why they don't come to church? I gotta get my life in order. When I get my life in order, then I'll come. I'm I'm addicted to this. I'm struggling with that. I'm having a hard time letting go of this. When I get this resolved, I will follow Jesus.”
39s
#GraceMeetsYou
“Everyone knew he was a traitor. Everyone knew he was a tax collector. Everyone knew that he was working for the other guys. But still Jesus said what? Clean your act. Get your life in order. Get your ducks in a row, and then follow me. No. He just said, follow me and at once Levi drops everything and follows Jesus. So grace does not begin when your life has changed. Grace of God begins in your life as you are navigating through the struggles and difficulties that you're going through right now.”
47s
#LetJesusReveal
“Let Jesus name the real problem in your life. I don't know about you, but in my walk, I've seen this happened so many times. Jesus, if if if you could remove this person, Jesus, if you could change this situation, Jesus, if if you could deal with this illness, oh, then then I will go. Then I will witness. Then I will testify. Then I will glorify. Then, oh man, I will be the most person on fire for you in this city. But many times, the real issue is underneath that no one sees.”
