#GodsAmazingGrace
“If we understand unworthy we are to receive God's invitation and are overwhelmed by his acceptance. If we are shaken by the magnitude of his grace, we will encounter a celebration of love and life. if we treat God's relational invitation to walk this life journey in communion with his son as a ho save the date notification that we're lukewarm about. We will live in the darkness of the moment and the sorrow filled existence of life.”

“``You make your own rules. You're accountable to nothing. You're essentially your own God because God doesn't exist. Right? For us this morning, if if you're a Christian, you placed your faith in Christ, this can look like living. I mean, we're never gonna say God doesn't exist. Right? You're in a church. You probably came here because you think God exists. You believe that he exists. If you're a Christian, you believe a whole set of things about Jesus and everything else, but we can live as if God doesn't exist. Right? We can live as a fool. We can live as if the gospel isn't true, maybe even for just an instant. And as I go forward this morning, be looking for those ways. Be sort of evaluating your own self, your own heart. What are ways that you find yourself on the way of foolishness?”

“Most Christians think if I share the gospel faithfully, people should respond. they think, well, if people don't respond, then I must have failed. There must be something wrong with the message I gave them. But Paul rejects both of these ideas. The reasons people do not believe in Jesus often have less to do with the message that you are sharing and more to do with the condition of the human heart. We are not responsible for someone's change of heart, surrender, or transformation. is up to the Lord. And if we believe that our God continues to pursue people with patience and grace and mercy, then we are compelled to do the same.”

#newHeartConversion
“Not a physical one, although I'm amazed what doctors can do. But the scripture talks about a metaphorical heart transplant. And you can go to church all your life and miss what the prophet Ezekiel had to say. I will give you a new heart, says god. A new heart. A new inner being. I'll put a new spirit in you. That's the holy spirit. I'll change you from the inside out. I will remove from you that heart of stone. Go back to frozen. Right? That will come out, and I'll put a new one in there, a heart of flesh. Friends, that's called conversion.”

#EveryoneIsInvited
“Our culture, dare I say, we have become unimpressed by the things that hint of Jesus. We live in in the midst of this quandary. We are thankful that God invites all of us to the feast, to the table, and yet on the other side, we deal with that that that creeping idea that if everyone is invited, what makes it so special? I mean, we're we're used to being chosen because of our incredible sparkling resume. We're used to having earned a seat at the table because of how invaluable we are. We're used to having our name on the list because of our talents and experience. Can we live with a God who doesn't care how great we are at our jobs and who has chosen everyone?”

#KingdomResponsibility
“Being people of the kingdom carries with it a a responsibility. Our invitation to come to the feast does not mean that we're entitled recipients of the grace of God. The truth is that we are undeserving objects of God's hospitality. So the wedding celebration gets this this epilogue, if you will, written at the end of it about someone who shows up underdressed. And maybe the issue, maybe the issue is not so much that the wedding guest showed up dressed like an episode of what not to wear, but that he was unaware of the urgency of the invitation. There is a sense of complacency in his attendance. He thought it was just just another wedding feast. What's the big deal? It's the king's wedding feast for his son.”

#NewCovenant
“New creation, however, does not mean niceness. If Jesus had just talked about his body being broken, like the bread, and then passed the cup around to help the disciples wash down the bread that they were having a hard time chewing. The story would have been incomplete, indicating that the cup was about the new covenant in the blood was the final grief-laden, heartbreaking, prophetic, agonizing, peer stained detail to God's love story for his created.”
53s
#JesusSacrifice
“And sometimes sometimes we nice down words that are filled with violence and pain. desensitize the whore of Galgotha. We tame the unfathomable. Jesus tells us that his body will be broken. It gave deeper significance to bread being torn apart. And then Jesus says, his blood is going to be poured out. He says he won't drink of wine again in this world. It's his last drink before his execution.”
47s
#WorldCommunion
“Breaking bread indicated community and and unity. And today on World Communion Sunday, it is a practice, a a tradition, an act that that draws people together. Thousands of worshiping communities and thousands of locations as a way of uniting us instead of dividing us. And we may do the instructions, and we may distribute the elements in different ways. But but like a family genealogy of Jesus, it all goes back to the bread of life, Jesus himself.”
58s
#ActionsSpeakLouder
“They know the answer. The answer is the first son. Not because of what he said, but because of what he did. What we do and not just what we say is the actual measure of what we believe. We can say all the right things. We can think all the right things. We can believe all the right things. But if we don't actually do them, then we are the second son.”
