#BridgesNotWalls
“And so today as we think about this story and we think about the grace of God extended through the hand of Joseph, and as we look back on this family of dysfunction and see how God is at work, I think there is hope for each and every one of us that we may find ourselves in some very terrible situations, but if we have eyes to see, we are able to see our way out of them. If we have the ability to forgive and to reconcile, we can build bridges instead of walls. And if we trust in God, he will make a way where there seems to be no way.”
51s
“Instead of holding on with large hands to a fixed mindset, open yourself to a growth mindset of, yes. I can. Instead of eating yourself up with negative self talk and limiting thoughts, challenge the self talk, be impeccable with your word, our last series. And that huntsman symbolizes our ability to cut away the old version of ourselves to free the new version of ourselves. But we can only do that if we by limiting. We can only do that if we limit the negative thinking, and we don't limit the new ways of thinking and believing and knowing that we can have new abilities and skills.”

“You should not wait until you feel qualified because the story of the bible is about god calling people that are not qualified to do his work. God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies all those whom he calls. So, like, maybe there's something god's calling you to do. Just lean into that and step forward in faith. Number two, I would say this is obey even when you're afraid. Meaning, like, it's okay to be afraid. It's okay to be nervous. There's no perfect people. He was afraid, and and he's got the lord speaking to him.”
37s
“Divorce is never treated casually in scripture because marriage is never treated casually in scripture. Our culture has normalized relational collapse in ways that sometimes we barely even notice. Marriage rates in the Western world, in The United States, they have continued to plummet where people just don't even get married in the first place. Way lower than it's ever been. And cohabitation, it's just like, well, that's the new norm. That's what we do now. We don't need to put the ring on it. I'll get her a ring when we're 90. And there's a heart issue where permanence, it feels scary to people.”
37s
“Number four, the enemy isn't after your song, he's after your surrender. He's after your surrender. You can sing the same song in church, but never be surrendered to God. You can sing the same song that someone over here that's getting freedom, and you're not because you have given your surrender over to the enemy and not God. Because music was never worship was never just music. It's what we bow to. Worship is what what do you bow to Monday through Saturday.”

#JoinGodsWork
“And so the question for us is this, will we help or hinder the reconciling work of God? Will we help or hinder the reconciling work of God in our lives, in our families, in our church, in our communities, in our country, and around the world. My hope is that we would join God in the work that he is doing to create one human family grounded in love and grace through his peace and forgiveness and reconciliation.”
54s
#LoveNotVengeance
“Imagine what we would be capable of as God's people when love is the guiding thought behind everything that we do and not vengeance. See, that's what Jesus taught also. He said the grace that forgives is the grace by which we live. You see the arc of God's story moves toward reconciliation and peace. Although our human nature pulls us toward rivalry and revenge and favoritism is displayed in the story of this first family in in Genesis, God is always at work within us and beyond us to deepen our capacity for love and forgiveness. Amen?”

#GraceOverStriving
“Now, what did he see in Esau that reminded him of what he had just seen at the River Jabbok at Peniel? It was none other than amazing grace, unmerited mercy, and unmatched goodness. Jacob had spent days, maybe even years, preparing for this encounter with Esau, making all kinds of plans and expending all kinds of energy. Just as he had done the night before in his wrestling match with a stranger in the dark. To the grace of God and the grace of Esau meant that striving was unnecessary. Scheming was no longer of any use. Jacob couldn't get the best thing in life by striving for it any longer. He was no longer in control. He simply had to receive it as a gift.”
61s
#FaceOfGrace
“See, face of God, the face of grace is the same thing. And it can be seen by us in all kinds of places and in all kinds of faces. Sometimes it's the mud encrusted features of the one we've struggled with our entire lives. Sometimes it's the gap toothed silly grin of an Esau type who who doesn't give us what we have coming for to us for the dumb things that we've done, but who instead loves us and forgives us anyways. But mostly, it's the face of the one who willingly took the weight of the world on his shoulders in order that we could live life in its abundance. See that by the grace of this savior, Jesus Christ, Penile is where you and I live every day.”

#OnlyByGrace
“Jacob's limping away that morning from a knockout, drag out fight reminds us of another morning when Jesus rose walking gingerly on still pierced feet. He bore his resurrected body, the marks of the world's defeat, changed by grace into this world's most glorious victory. You see, in the face of what he did, we are all undone. But here's the kicker. Right? We can't do what he did, but can only receive by grace what he gives. We can't do what he did, but can only receive by grace what he gives.”
