#ResistTheDeceiver
“Beware of the lion. Notice the devil is not your friend, he's your adversary. The devil is not your homeboy. He's your enemy. The devil is not your play date. The devil is not a long lost friend or some acquaintance. He's your enemy. John ten says, he's got an agenda to steal, to kill, and destroy. And he does it, the text says, out of deception. He does nothing but deceive you. He is your adversary. He is not he is not in any way, shape, or form a messenger of peace to your soul. He is the one that you gotta put your fist of faith up to.”

#SeedsOfKindness
“You see, farmers don't plant seeds because they expect immediate immediate results. They plant because they trust in the future. They bury something precious beneath the soil. And for a long time, nothing appears to be happening. They water. They weed, they wait, they water, they weed, and they wait, and they water, and they weed, and they wait, and they water, and they weed, and they wait. But beneath the surface, unseen by anyone, is emerging. The kingdom, the kingdom of god grows exactly in that way. With every act of kindness, there is a seed. Every burden that we help someone else carry is a seed. Every meal shared with someone who is hungry is a seed. Every can of food that goes to someone who needs something to eat is a seed.”
40s
“I want you to sit in the tension of that because we kinda live in a cultural moment where people talk as if there's a threat to the gospel, where people are talk like, if we don't do this, the gospel is at risk. And I would say any gospel that shrinks back because of the affairs of man or the whims of a politician or the wickedness of humanity is no gospel at all. I don't wanna serve that God if if the affairs of us mere mortals shakes his divine plan. Paul says, what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. Do we view what is happening to us that way?”
27s
#AdoptedIntoFamily
“But when we come to Christ, we are adopted into his family. It's not like we're just some head headed stepchild that's tolerated. We are welcomed into the family. There's no begrudging, if I'm patient enough, I can send them away to boarding school. God welcomes us in. God doesn't say you can stay in the garage. He says you belong at the table.”
46s
#DontLoseHeartInService
“열매가 미비하다고 해서사역이 헛되었다고 실망하지 말아야 합니다 여러분들이 하고 계시는 사역 여러분들이 주님의 위로하는 일들이 결과가 미비하다고 해서 낙심하지 마십시오 그럴 일이 아닙니다 수고한 것으로 주님의 위로가 있을 줄은 믿습니다 수고한 것으로 주님께서 위로하세요 주님 우리에게 결과를 보고 야 결과 왜 이래 이러시는 분이 아니세요 주님 우리의 마음을 감찰하시는 분이 아니십니까우리의 마음 다 알고 계시잖아요 이런 결과가 미비해도 낙심하지 마시길 바랍니다”

#GiveItToJesus
“And therefore, in this time of suffering, we gotta recognize even the best leaders are temporary. But our Lord Jesus stands forever. And so when we're suffering, we take all of our cares and we sling it to him. It's not listen, man. You're not going up to Jesus and paying him like you are the store. Let me find the card. Let me get oh, I don't have any yeah, we're gonna use this card. No. No. No. When I have burdens on me, when I have suffering on me, man, I go to the Lord, and I'm not making a deal. I'm not trying to, you know, penny pinching. No. I'm just dumping it. I'm throwing it. Every single bit of it. I'm throwing it on him because I realize that his authority, his leadership is eternal. His hand is mighty. And as the text says, he will exalt me at the right time.”

#LeadershipIsTemporary
“``Church leaders, political leaders, community leaders will come and go. Every leader has a shelf life, this one included. And I'm not just talking about death, I'm talking about the time that they're in leadership. Now, don't get the heebie jeebies like I'm not warning you about something like I'm here until God says otherwise. But you need to know that a leader needs to be conscious of their shelf life because leaders will come and go. They will temporarily succeed, they will temporarily prosper, but they are temporary. Their power is temporary. Their authority is temporary. Their influence is temporary. Their knowledge is temporary. Their abilities are temporary. If they are evil, their evil is temporary. If they are good, their goodness is temporary. Human leadership is temporary and fallible at best. But God's hand is mighty and eternal.”
53s
#HumilityOverPride
“Sometimes, we're so prideful, we don't even know we're prideful. Sometimes, we think we're being humble when really we're being humble to gain somebody else's affection. And pride has its way of just just disguising itself and manipulating us in a certain way that we kind of feel entitled to be this way. But what we are called to in this suffering is to focus on our humility. And in that focus of humility, there are two specific things he mentions here in the text that we need to keep in mind. Two specific things that when you're suffering, you need to keep in mind.”
49s
#HumbleToBeRescued
“He died dead, buried, sealed tomb. And in that moment, the devil metaphorically looked him in the face. He thought he won. But what he forgot was that this was his beloved son. And our heavenly father snatched his son right out the grave. And that's our promise. And that's what we cling to today. It's that when we are suffering, our heavenly father has us, and he's ready to snatch us up. But, he's not gonna snatch you up unless you humble yourself.”
61s
#FightWithFaithNotFists
“But you need to fight back, and he tells us how to fight back. He says resist in the text. Resist. Remember, the Lord has secured you. He's established you. He's made you firm in the faith. You you realize you got some people suffering the same thing with you, so you're not alone in this? You you realize that Jesus has suffered greater than you? So how do I fight? I resist. It literally means you you fight back. But you can't fight back like the way we wanna fight back. We fight back against the devil with the proper weapons. Your a k won't work. Your nine millimeter is not gonna work. Your muscles aren't gonna work.”
