#TransformedByFaith
“If a person is authentically saved, authentically, quote, unquote. They're trusting in Christ alone by faith alone for their salvation. We will see fruit in their lives. That is the lives the lives will show evidence of transformation. To be more Christlike is the goal of every person who's come to know Christ. So here's what we see in the jailer's life after receiving salvation through faith alone and Christ alone.”
87s
“Joyfully approaching the table. What if forgiveness is extended for things that have happened in the past that needed to be solved long time ago but we held on them to them for so long? What if there was a holy boisterousness in this room that announced to the world that this body is so very different, radically, and wonderfully different. And that we would proclaim that we are here. We still love people. We still expect Christ's return and we are still as passionate as ever about our ministries and that's what time it is.”
64s
“It's one thing to say, I love you. It's another thing to stand before God and the congregation of his people in the place that you worship him each week, and declare your commitment to choose to love this person through all the reality of life's experience, and then we exchange rings. Talk about a tradition that embodies the ideal. Here now I've taken these ideals of committing to love you, And I'm gonna give you a tangible symbol of my commitment that you can wear constantly on your being as a reminder that there is at least one person in all this world who has chosen to love you no matter what.”

#PraiseInSuffering
“He would pray to use the suffering that they were experiencing to reach out for others to come to know Christ. That was the heart of Paul, wasn't it? How could we expect anything different from this man? The scriptures say they sang hymns to God. Can you even imagine? They're in this dungeon. There's feet's in stock, and they're singing hymns to this great god that they knew. They were praising him and thanking him.”
51s
#FaithThroughTrials
“Circumstances differ, my friends, but every person experiences serious problems that causes fear, helplessness, hopelessness, an insecurity in your life or mine. In every instance of serious circumstances, listen. A person either turns to God or goes further away from God. A person either becomes softer in their hearts towards God, or they become more hardened in their heart as they reject God.”
38s
#TheGospelMessage
“I mean, he has the message, and for us, it's the same thing. We have to remember what God has saved us from so that we can tell the good news of creation, fall, rescue, restoration. That that God has a a perfect plan and and sin has has distorted and disrupted and and ruined that plan. But God didn't give up on the plan. He sent the rescue found only in Jesus Christ so that they could be... We could be restored to God's original plan. That's the gospel message.”

#UltimateDeliverance
“Peter is delivered. Right? Like, we see this in the passage. Peter gets delivered. We can't forget James was also delivered. Peter's delivered and he's gonna continue an earthly ministry, but James is realizing a greater truth because he has the final delivery. He's with the Lord. He's realizing the truth that death has no sting. That that Herod took his body, but he's with the Lord. He won. He got delivered way beyond the delivery Peter. He's understanding what Paul writes to the church of Philippi when he says, for me to live is Christ and to die is gain. Peter's experienced temporary deliverance, but James, the ultimate one.”
30s
#PrayLiveShare
“Our role is to pray and then to live it out and then share it with others. Along the way, you might get stopped or paused, better to say. But the gospel's not gonna stop. The gospel came to you on its way to other people. It can't be stopped. It's not gonna be slowed down. There's nothing the world can do to make that happen. They've been trying for two thousand years.”
57s
#FaithInAction
“There's people in this room that need the obedience and and the faith the first time return or repent of what we're doing and how we're living and follow Jesus. But there is probably more of us that are in the room that need the obedience to actually live it out because we do believe it. We might not live it out perfectly, but we do believe it. And we need to then share that message with others. Obedience is the application of our faith. It's the beginning of our faith. We don't get saved and then just incubate, and sit, and wait, and one day I'll be ready. That never happens in the gospels. It never happens in the bible. People's lives are changed and then they immediately go and they tell people about it. We obey the call to follow Jesus and then we obey the call to tell others about him. And the third point, the gospel is for everyone.”

#GospelForEveryone
“Nobody is common or unclean. Hear that. Nobody. Your worst enemy, the gospel's for them. Your annoying coworker, the gospel's for them. That neighbor who always blows his grass clippings into your yard, the gospel's for them. The bubba's of your life, the gospel's for them. Nobody we look at people, I look at people, and I just think they're common. They're unclean, and I I I I take away the value that they have because they're made in the image of God.”
