#GraceLeadsToObedience
“Let his let his grace just take the fight out of you so you stop fighting him. And and you're just blown away by the grace of God towards you as you see Jesus hanging on the cross in your place. So thankful to know that God loves you and he blesses you in Christ. And that that, that's gonna change you. Because that will lead you to want to listen to him. Listen to what he says in his word and have a desire to live in obedience to him because God is gracious.”
39s
#GodMeetsYou
“You see, God meets us in our mess and he takes all of our insufficiencies and he transforms us by his great power. And he sees beyond our fears and beyond our failures and beyond our frailty and God, God doesn't just see what you are today. God sees what you will become when you place your faith in him and trust him. So trust in him today. He's ready to do something amazing in you and through you.”
74s
“I wanna ask you a question. Are you looking for happiness in your circumstances or for joy in your destination? Now I know we're human. And sometimes our circumstances are all we can see. And it's not I mean, obviously, we're going to have a response. None of us want to suffer. None of us wants to be miserable. None of us want to experience the brokenness of life. And none of us is gonna celebrate it and say, yay, bad times are here again. You know, that's not how it works. That's not what I'm saying. I'm not saying that we don't have circumstances that cause us to struggle because we do. That's human. That's real. But the question is, what are you looking for? Are you just looking and and all you're willing to see is your circumstances right now? Or you're trying your hardest to see that destination and the promise of Christ.”
60s
“And as we've worked our way through this book of first Samuel, we are very early introduced to two paths. To two paths and two choices that we have. A path of selfish independence that says, I can do this. I got this. And a path of humble dependence that says, I need Jesus. I need God's help. And the question for us this morning is, which path are you on? Are you on the path of selfish independence? I got this. I can take care of this. I don't need Jesus. I don't need others. I can do this on my own. That you can bet that that path, it it might look good for a while, but it's not gonna end well. And Jesus promises us that if we humble ourselves before him, that he lifts us up and it will end well.”
54s
“The cross as a symbol to those early disciples before the crucifixion would symbolize what happens when you stand up against power when you from a position of powerlessness, you speak truth to this power. The cross is what happens when the powerless threaten the power of the powerful. That's how empire works and or doesn't work. So now here's the question to consider. If we are encountering Jesus' words as the disciples first encountered them, as the church today, what does that mean, and what does that look like?”
56s
“He knows everything about me, just as he knows everything about you. Therefore, we should not fear whatever we face, because God is with us. And if God is with us, who can be against us? For Christ has overcome the world for us just as he overcame sin and death and the devil. He gave himself up for us all, suffering in our place. He bore the sins of the world on the cross, and he rose again for our justification. His resurrection and redemption have overcome sin, death, and the power of the devil. And Christ has likewise overcome the world. And because Christ has done this, we have no need to fear anything. Fear not, for you are of more value to God than you know.”
49s
#GraceThatSaves
“So we don't just need a second chance. We need a savior. If God just gave out second chances, that would just make him lenient. But it's so much better than that. He is gracious. He gives us what we don't deserve and could never do for ourselves. God sent his son who died for us, and then he rose again showing that God is the God of the resurrection. He has the power to raise the dead. And when we cling to him, when we trust him as our only hope, he is that gracious to save us that even though we were dead, now we can live.”
46s
#GospelNotSecondChances
“Let me clarify for this. I had to I had to help my my son as I'm evangelizing my kids. Had to help him understand this. The gospel is not the gospel is not that God is the God of second chances. I I don't know this like a popular phrase and that might sound nice, but but that honestly is not good news. Think about it. If you know that that you're messed up and and you're just hoping that God's gonna give you another chance to try again, just look at Israel and stop thinking that it's possible for you to figure it out on your own, in your own power. You are not deep down a good person that given enough time will eventually do the right thing. We will not.”
43s
#TrustNotStrength
“So today I beg of you trust in God. You see, God's calling for you has never been grounded in the greatness of your strength. God's calling for you has always been grounded in his power and his presence. So trust in him today. And so this is truth number two. When God is with you, your weakness does not have the last word. So trust in his plan and not your strength.”
37s
#NeverHiddenFromGod
“And some people, some people they hide behind isolation because of all the mistakes that they've made. And they don't really feel like they are even worthy of any generosity or kindness of others. But here is a beautiful part of of the story of Gideon that we can also relate to. Not only do we relate to this aspect that fear is a powerful enemy, but we also relate to this. That Gideon was hiding from the enemy, but he was never hidden from God. Amen?”
