#SpiritualGifts
“But when we see somebody who... Somebody else who teaches well or serves well, they lead confidently, or or they have a they have a gift of connecting with people, we think, I could never do that. Wow, that's really... They're they're really gifted, and they must have been doing this for years. They must be a super Christian. Right? And, and their gift must be more important. But remember what Paul says, different gifts come from the same spirit. Same spirit. gift didn't come from a smaller holy spirit, or an older holy spirit, or a partial holy spirit. Came from the same spirit. Right?”

#AweOfGod
“Alright. Let's hunt the good stuff today. This is such a great text, and, you might just kind of wonder, hey. Why is this text in our bible? And here's the answer. It's to cause greater awe in our hearts and our minds in God than in anything else that's in the world. That everything else that we chase for comfort and hope and security would be dim compared to the power and glory of God who parts the sea, who defeats his enemies, and who promises a bright future and an everlasting hope.”
43s
#KingdomOfGod
“And so when you summarize these summarize these two together, love the Lord your God and love your neighbor as yourself, it really does paint this vision of God's kingdom and what we are called to do and lifts up this important part of Leviticus. But, of course, we know that love your neighbor as yourself, it it means thinking of your neighbor in the best possible light, actively working their good. And it doesn't just mean the neighbors that are our best friends or that look just like us. Right? The neighbor is all of God's people.”
58s
#JesusIsMerciful
“This is what I would remind you is what the name of Jesus means. He is your father who forgives you, who is gracious to you, who pursues you, who who shows up in the garden when you do something that is against his character. And you're hiding in shame and grief and guilt and all those things. And he shows up and goes, hey, where are you? Jesus is the name that we can run to rather than running away. And it's his graciousness and faithfulness and mercy that he comes alongside of us and transforms our heart and our mind to make it look more like him.”

“And so I took the call, and the person was very animated on the other line. And I'm thinking, oh, no. Maybe I should have spent more time praying. And they were like, guess what? I just got back from the doctor, and they told me I'm gonna be off all blood pressure medication. I'm better. I don't have high blood pressure anymore. And my declaration of faith faith was, seriously? Really? Well, praise God. Because I remembered how unimpressive and un... You see what I'm saying here? God is such a healer. He's not moved by your impressiveness or my impressiveness. He's moved by his impressiveness. And that is the premise of healing when we look at the scriptures.”
67s
“When we are this love, when we do this love, it shapes the world around us. Can you imagine God's love for the world being the foundation for every decision? Your decisions, university board of regents decisions, government decisions, judges decisions. Our identity as Christians is rooted in this holy love. We know who we are because God has loved us with an everlasting love whose name is Jesus. That's our center. That's where we start every day, every choice, every relationship rooted in love for the neighbor. And so as Christians, we do that love all the time because if we're really in this divine relationship with God, we can't not do it.”
57s
“Don't fight among yourselves. Alright? Verse two, speak evil of no one. Avoid quarreling. Be gentle. Show every courtesy to everyone. It goes on to explain that. He says, look, we all used to do that stuff. We all used to be quarrelsome, envious, gluttonous, easily offended just like everybody else in the world, but Christ changed us. Christ saved us not because of our own goodness, but because he loved us in spite of ourselves. Christ chose not to quarrel with us. We should follow his example. Verse eight, avoid moronic controversies, dissensions, quarrels about rules. They are unprofitable and worthless.”
60s
“And that matters. And that matters because that means that Jesus and this whole Christian church is built not just on this, oh, what do you want to say, these facades of being perfect. Rather the church and our faith is built on grace. And so whenever though that ground feels shaky, whenever conflict arises, Jesus says simply this, go. Go and talk. Go and listen. And then if if necessary, bring others into the conversation. But keep mercy and grace in the room. Because Jesus is in the business of finding lost sheep, of offering forgiveness and grace. And in the midst of the murkiness of life, Jesus says, I am there.”
65s
“But Jesus' invitation for us in all of these things is that we would value his kingdom, value this time with him, that we would break away from the ways of the world let his grip on us break away so that we would be generous with the things that God gives us, that we would go before the Lord in prayer talk with him about our needs and our lives, and that we would practice fasting as a way to say, all those comforts that you've given me, Lord, I know they're here, but I want to turn my attention to you and rest and trust in you and see what you can do so that in these moments, God reveals himself to us. transforms us. He shapes us. He draws us close to him, and he changes us.”
62s
“And here's why that matters tonight. Because our hope is not simply that maybe tomorrow, my circumstances will suddenly get better. Maybe tomorrow, life will just be easier. Our hope is not maybe if I stay faithful long enough, god will eventually get me out of this. Our hope is bigger than that. Our hope is Jesus. Amen? Because even in the if the prison doors do not open for us, even if the prison doors hold us longer than we want, even if the promotion never comes, and even if the chapter doesn't change the way that we hope, Jesus is still Lord. And he's still good, and he's still faithful. And he's already accomplished the greatest rescue that you and I could ever need. Through his death and his resurrection, our sins are forgiven. Right? Our guilt can be removed, our relationship with God can be restored, and our future can be secure.”
