#GodsLove
“And at the end of the day, and this is what I wanna walk you... I want you to walk away with this morning is this. Our big idea is that when we're in Rome, we have to see things burning down around us, and we see the culture going to hell in a handbasket, and we see conflict in The Middle East continue on and on and on and on and on, what do we do? We stay humble in God's love. We lower ourselves. We say, I don't have it figured out. I don't even deserve this forgiveness. God, I don't know how you could even love me even though I've come to you for the hundred and eighty seventh day in a row and ask for forgiveness for the same thing. It it humbles us. And when we have that posture of humility, it leads us to repentance. And as we've talked about these last couple weeks, it calls us tend to receive that love and to reach out with that love to those around us.”
47s
“That's a radical welcome that I think gets to the heart of what God has in store for us. That we are all regardless of how comfortable or uncomfortable we are in a situation, ultimately God's vision for us is to be part of the same community, a similar community everywhere. That it is not about who's got the right theology, theology, who's got the right political ideology, who's got the right fill in the blank. It is God has got love figured out and wants us to understand it so that we can all be part of one community together.”
76s
“he prunes. He prunes so that you can bear more fruit and it's really an act of grace because he looks at you and says, there's more. There's more in you. You're gonna be surprised at the kind of fruit that come out of you. You're gonna be surprised at the level of fruit that comes out of you if you let me prune you, if you let me deal with you, if you let me touch you, if you let me bless you, if you let me put my hand on, you are gonna be surprised with the kind of fruit that comes out of your life if you allow for me to prune So, lord, we welcome the pruning. We welcome the correction. We welcome the cleaning. We welcome the cleansing. We welcome the cutting because we know that should we submit to that, then my life is gonna be fruitful. Should this church submit to the pruning? This church is gonna be fruitful.”
47s
“With all our heart and with all our mind, let us join as the church in prayer. God of grace and God of glory, on your people sing your song. Shower us with the music and bring us closer in your presence with your tune. That in each moment we may feel the comfort of your song. Your song of grace and your song of companionship. Oh God, our world suffers wars, civil distress, global conflict, and abiding division. We hunger for peace, for strength, for dignity, for a song of hope.”
54s
“"Can you see that you, you and I are no different than Micah? That our deepest need is to hear the father say, I love you, daughter. I love you, son. I see you. I recognize you. You don't have to be the greatest. You don't have to be the greatest. Let me put my arms around you. See, that's what, that's what heals the vice of ambition. That most of us have little corners in our hearts that have, for recognition and status and honor. What those spots ultimately are is us making that move of dad, I love you. Do you love me?"”
40s
#FruitOfTheSpirit
“You wanna see things flourish? Go to Jesus. Because without God's spirit inside of you, you can't have the fruit of the spirit, which is love and joy and peace and patience. And so, at some point, God will fulfill his plan of salvation, not only in revealing the Jewish savior, Jesus Christ, which he's done, but also the promises that he made to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. Like, he'll fulfill those someday. God's people and the the Israelites, they'll enjoy that land someday. They will.”
36s
#GraceAndMercy
“But when we see those things happening, instead of getting so frustrated, I'm like, man, why can't they act like I act? I know how to be patient. I know how to live with kindness and gentleness. Why can't they get this figured out? That's when we're humbled. We're reminded. I don't I don't deserve this grace. I don't deserve this mercy. I don't deserve any of it. I mean, this is something that was done before the foundations of the world, and now I get to respond to this merciful and gracious God. I am so unworthy of it.”
36s
#PrayForSalvation
“Like, that is the biggest issue. We think the biggest issue is the conflict on land. The biggest issue is always in scripture a spiritual issue, and the spiritual issue impacts the way we physically live. And for them to know Jesus as their savior, that's gonna be the thing that changes. And so that can be our hot heart posture, but not only for what's happened in The Middle East, but even for our neighbors, for our family, for our coworkers, for our friends who don't know Jesus.”
27s
#BibleStudy
“Let's know more about it. Let's dig into our Bibles and understand it more, not just completely reject it all, but have empathy, have understanding. Because at the end of the day, you don't deserve salvation, and you don't, and you don't, and I don't deserve it at all. We've been graciously brought back in into God's plan of salvation through Jesus and Jesus alone.”
31s
#GrowingInFaith
“well, I have the Holy Spirit inside of me, and I I should be doing things better, and I should be loving more and being patient more. That does happen. We do grow in those things. But as we grow in them, we also realize we're still far from perfect. Like, we're even more aware of the areas where we fall shorted. And so that heart posture of coming back to God, asking for forgiveness, that is the game changer. That is what shows us in our own lives that we're following Jesus.”
