#GrowThroughTrials
“Who am I praising? The Bible said, now unto him. Him. In other words, this immeasurable, immutable, strong tower which is god. Yeah. He he he this god in which let's roll, fella. We serve. Yes. It's a god worth praising. That's right. And I'm praising him because I got confidence what he can, what he can do. Uh-huh. People of god, stopped by this morning to share you with you this word that encourages your heart. Yeah. To let you know that what you're feeling right now. Yeah. Oh, it's not for your demise. Oh, yes. But it's really for your development. In other words, he wants you, to grow in your faith. Oh, yes. He wants you, to mature your prayer life. Because when you pray, you get power. And when you get power, you gotta learn how to give him praise.”

#ThisIsMyBlood
“But when Jesus holds this cup up, he makes a pivot, a transition, and it catches the disciples off guard. He'd already taken the bread and he had broken it and he said to them, this is my body. Well, they hadn't heard that before. That's not how the story goes. Jesus personalized This is my body broken for you. I'm sure it must have got their attention because they they had never heard that before. Now he takes the cup and he holds it up and he said, this is my blood. What? That's not part of the story. I've never heard that before. That's not in the story that we grew up with. Your blood? No. No. No. This is different. This is the cup of redemption. This is what god did for us in the slaying of the perfect lamb that saved us. Jesus said, no. No. No. This is my blood shed for you. Now he has the attention of everybody in the room and they're focused on him because he's changed the story.”

#NoChildIsAMistake
“He said, don't anger, aggravate, irritate your children. There's a difference in having fun with them and poking fun at them but being mean to them just because you didn't want them. And let me tell you something. Please understand this. Right now, every life that's ever been conceived is not a mistake. It might be unplanned, but it's not a mistake. That life, god's word says, god is the author, that means the beginning, and the ending of life. No child is a mistake because let me tell you what you're doing. When you speak to that child and say, this is our mistake. We wouldn't do this. This is a mistake. We wouldn't we wouldn't plan. You've just planted an ugly seed in that child's heart and in that child's mind. First sermon we ever preached talked about again in the Bible study this morning about Jabez. Jabez is main name meant born with pain. Every time the name Jabez come out, people say that that child's a pain.”

#EverydayWitness
“The fourth thing to remember is to look for opportunities to witness. Paul and Silas could've slipped out of the prison and never be seen again. But they were there for a purpose. And perfect opportunities to witness almost never present themselves. They are very rare that you find the perfect situation and somebody ask you the perfect question and you give them the perfect answer. That is a very rare situation when that happens. Ordinarily, ordinary daily opportunities are the ones god uses most effectively. Through our struggles, god is at work and like I said, people are watching to see how we handle situations in our life. God is at work. Look for the opportunities that god presents to you that you least expect”
43s
“How many of us change to get closer to God when we go through some stuff? Anybody? Yeah. Yeah. We pray like crazy, don't we? Yeah. Do we stay? We go back to and see, that's why the patience that comes from tribulations reminds me that God brought me out. He'll bring me out next time. The problem that we encounter should develop out of perseverance, which in turn will strengthen our character, deepen our trust in god, and give us greater confidence about our future.”

#CupOfRedemption
“``Jesus takes the second cup and he sets it down and then he comes to the third cup and this is where things change. This is a really, really important cup. The first two are important, but this one this one's a game changer. Jesus takes the third cup and he lifts it up, and this is the cup of redemption. The cup of redemption. The word redemption literally means to redeem. It means to buy back something that was lost, but Jesus came in and he did something for us we could not do for ourselves. And so as a result of that, God redeemed us in Jesus Christ. Look at what Exodus chapter six says. He says, I will redeem you with an outstretched Christ on the cross stretched out his arms and he paid the price that you and I should pay. He redeemed us. He he bought us back out of sin and slavery and all the things that keep us from being all that God want. He gave us hope again and he he bought it. He did it. He paid the price. Paid in full. Debt cancelled.”

#LookUpFaith
“``He's praying, hallelujah, teaching us that when you're feeling down, there are some things that you can look up. Somebody shout, look up. Look up. Don't go to sleep on you yet. I got a little bit to pray for. At the end of the day, Paul, while in prison, is praying for the believers that their faith don't fail. Are y'all in here with me? Because some of us are at the edge of night at the brink of our breakdown, and all we got left is my faith. Yeah. I mean, my money is funny. My change is strange. Things are going crazy, but all I got is my faith. My faith is my absolute confidence in god that if god don't do it, it can't be done. If god don't move it, it can't be moved. If god don't lift it, it cannot be lifted. Amen. Amen. So,”

#PrayDontPanic
“Paul says, in verse 14, verse 14, and verse 15, he says, but there's a reason for you to look up even when you're feeling down. He said, you gotta look up and remember who you're praying to. Right. He didn't pray about his current condition but he's praying humbly in this position or posture of dependence on god. I came this morning to let you know when life gets hard, our first reaction is to often panic. Can I get a witness? Yes. We complain. We worry. But god shows us another response. What's another response, pastor? In other words, when you're feeling down, pray.”
75s
#ItIsFinished
“So the same hasop plant that they used in Exodus to wipe the blood, they stuck it on a sponge, they put it in wine vinegar, and raised it up so Jesus could drink it. You see the symbolism? You see the connection there? And then the Bible says, when he had received the drink, what drink? Well, he took the sponge for sure. He drank the vinegar, from the from the sponge in the hostel plant, but when he had received the fourth cup, the cup of reclamation, reclaiming. He was the only one who could do this, and he did it for you and for me. When he took the last cup, he lifted up his head with an outstretched arms and he said, it is finished. I have drank the last cup. Done. Paid for. Over. Now, the disciples didn't make the connection till after the resurrection.”
43s
#PrayForOthers
“Yeah. Here in Ephesians Ephesians three, pastor Moore, Paul is writing from a prison. But while he's writing from this prison, instead of focusing on his chains, instead of focusing on his problems, instead of focusing on his circumstances, Paul is praying to god for somebody else. Yes. Instead of praying, they can watch, lord, get me out of prison. He's praying for somebody's faith to increase. Amen. Oh god, I wish I had somebody here. That that's a maturing Christian when you can look beyond your current condition and situation and let somebody else know that the god you serve is able.”
