“But the result is not beyond We are not finished. We're not wiped out. We just didn't get it right yet. true. We cannot change ourselves, but the power of choice is ours. And it rests with us to determine what we will become. Will we become wayside? Are we wayside? Are we stony? Are we thorny? Or are we good ground? And if we are good ground, now we can help someone else become good ground. Because if we're any of the other ones, we must first get the plank out of our own eye.”

#GoWithTheSpirit
“Without Christ, we can do nothing but And we as Christians who know. We as Christians who have endured. We as Christians who are doing it. We as Christians who are supposed to be out there seeking and saving the lost and making disciples and teaching and baptizing. We have to go with the spirit of god. We have to go with the compassion. We have to go with love and understand that there's gonna be some stony ground people. There are gonna be some way wayside people. There's gonna be some thorny people. There's gonna be people who just don't get it yet.”

#LoveAndRepent
“When we talk about so today, I don't want us to be to misunderstand and judge people. We couldn't judge anyway. But when we are diligent, if we are efforts are sincere, if we genuinely love souls, if we genuinely trying to do what does saith the lord, if we continue to allow the spirit of god to work with us, we can be overcomers, and our witness would be that that God can applaud. It would be acceptable to God when we have the mindset. We are going to stumble, but god forgive me. Confess it. Repent from it and move on.”

#ConfessAndRepent
“Don't get caught in the guilt of trying to hide and cover. We can hide from me and you. We can hide from each other, but you cannot hide nothing from god. God sees and knows. He knows your heart before you do it. So if we're confessing our sins and repenting and being genuine and being honest with God, if we are willing to be used by God, If we lay ourselves beyond Lord, I don't wanna go, but help me.”

#ChristForEveryone
“This is what we're talking about. When we talk about where the word falls, the the whether it's wayside, whether it's stony, whether whatever it is. It can be overcome. Christ can overcome it all because he says that promises for every one of us. He goes to prepare a place. I'm coming back. I'm coming back for all of you. He died so that we all can be saved. There's no big eyes and little you at the foot of the cross. There's no one better than the other. There's no one. No matter what color where they come from, hey. No matter if they're breathing and got blood running through them, Christ died for them.”

#ChurchNurtureMatters
“These are the areas where we drop the ball. I've heard in our church nurture is one of our downfalls. We might bring them in, but the lack of nurturing, the lack of praying with and visiting and loving and and and witnessing to and and helping them is lacking. So, therefore because these are the things that uproots the old desires, the old ways because in absence, They're to revert back to where they were because that's what we used to. That's what I'm comfortable with. But if the spirit of god continues, if we understand that we must constantly keep Christ, keep the spirit, allow the spirit, deliver with the spirit, with the spirit. You know, as I say, with the spirit, that mean we gotta go with it. We gotta go with the spirit.”

Everybody's beating up. We ain't real. We ain't this. We ain't that. But Christ is real. Christianity is real. Is he real in my life? That's the question. Is Christ real in my life and in your life?”

Because if we are not focused in these days, the song said in times like these, we need a savior. In times like these, we need an anchor. That anchor today is Jesus Christ our lord. And we can no wise get around that. We cannot find another anchor. We cannot run the job, the money, the power, nothing can save us but Jesus Christ.”

#SatanChallengesJob
“But there's a text in the Bible that says, there was a man. This man was an upright man. This man feared God and extrude evil. This man was one of the greatest men on earth. He was so great that the greatest minds followed him all around. But one day, there's this great grand committee when god called all his sons together to shout for joy, the Bible says. And there's someone there who's not been invited. And god, as he stands up to preside over this grand congress, he looks in the back in the corner in the dark and he says, Lucifer, devil, what are you doing here? He stands up boldly, and he walks down before the grand arena, and he says out loud, I rule down there. Men are slaves to sin. I am here to represent Earth.”

#GodRunsTheUniverse
“Job, where were you? When I gave the monkey his tail, if you know the answer, Job, talk to me. Job, if you're so smart and you know so much, why were you when I gave the elephant his trunk? Job, how did I compose the little song that the robin sing? where is Platuses the belt of Orion? Job, do you know why the sun comes up and go down? You know why the seasons change and why there's fertility in nature? Job, if you know the answer, then you talk back to me. In other words, if you're so big and bad, then you tell me how to run the universe. What he was trying to say, if I can take care of a universe, then I can take care of your little bitty problem.”

Why Englewood churches are unique

Churches in Englewood reflect the city’s unusually rich diversity, shaped by long-established African American roots and a vibrant mix of Latin American, Caribbean, and Asian neighborhoods. Many congregations gather people across languages and generations, offering multilingual worship, family nights, and neighborhood outreach that mirror the city’s block-by-block cultural blend. You’ll find Englewood churches emphasizing bilingual Spanish and English services, multicultural congregations and worship, and intergenerational discipleship focus.
