#GraceLifts
“Peter cried out. Matthew fourteen thirty thirty one, Peter Peter cried out. Lord, Lord, save me. Save me. Immediately, it says, Jesus stretched forth his hand. Notice, Jesus didn't lecture him. Jesus, what, lifted him. We don't have to lecture. Let's lift. Remember Jesus? Remember, go back to the woman? Jesus didn't lecture her. He lifted her and brought life back into her. And that life became even a more abundant life because he gave her a simple word of go and sin no more. is grace. That's the grace of God. Repentance is not crawling back. Repentance is reaching back towards Jesus. That's it. Because you're right on the edge because there's water on this side and fire on that side, and you just get off that path and you just start sinking. And you realize it, and you turn back to Jesus. He's still there.”

#JesusIsTheRoad
“``God is great enough to still sustain us, to still protect us, and to make a way in the in between. And this is the thing that I want us to realize that the Es Hadas is not just the journey that they were on between Egypt and the promised land. The actual pathway to the promise is Jesus. He is the road to your promise. He is the road to the true thing that we need in peace and hope and life on the other side of heaven and joy on this side of heaven. So the question, this is really simple today. Where are you on the edge of obedience seeing the good thing, seeing the change, but still stalling out of fear? Where do you feel that God is calling you into something, but you're at the threshold saying, I don't know if I should?”

“Sabbath rest is cultivating a state of peace through trust in god to handle the outcomes, to enable us to see striving to rest. The Sabbath is God's invitation to enter the greater exodus that Jesus accomplished. The God who delivered Israel from pharaoh now invites his people to lay down their burdens and enter his rest. The Sabbath is resistance against pharaoh's regime. It's a weekly declaration of the good news, the gospel. Pharaoh says, make more bricks. Jesus says, come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

“이 은혜를 깨닫게 되면요 자기를 자랑하지 않고 하나님만 되는 것이고 하나님이 주신 것들을 다 인정하면서 자기를 높이는 교만이 사라지게 되는 것이고 분쟁이 사라지게 되는 것이고요 또 하나님의 그러한 은혜와 하나됨의 은혜가 그 가운데 부어지게 되는 것입니다 우리 성도님들 아직도 나를 끊임없이 세상의 법정에 세우면서 세상 사람들에게 어떤 세속적인 그 스펙을 가지고 영적 스펙으로 교회 안에 그걸 끌어들여 와서 영적 스펙을 가지고 내가 인정받아야 되고 그걸로 나를 높이려는 그 피곤한 자랑에서 나오시길 바랍니다”
34s
“Surrender your temple to the Lord today. Ask him to come. I'm gonna challenge you to come, to stand, to kneel, and say, today, I'm surrendering my temple to you. I'm asking you to fill me. I wanna obey the nudges and the little things that you prompt me to do. I wanna take an inventory of the fruit and pray into the ones I don't have that they will grow. I want a river to flow out of my heart that people notice I've been in the presence of Jesus. So let's stand. Let's pray together.”
59s
#GodSpeaksNow
“Remember we don't struggle with knowing what to do. I want you all to remember that. I don't think we struggle, really, with what to do. I think we all pretty much know what to do, but I think sometimes we struggle with when to do it. When to do it? When is that right time? When when do I need to do it? We say, I'll pray later, or I'll get serious later. I'll really watch what I eat the next time I do eat. Or I whatever that is, or I'll fix it later. I'll I'll talk to him later. I'll I'll I'll I'll revisit this forgiveness later. See, god never speaks in the later. God speaks in the now.”
53s
#SpeakToTheMountain
“The path never goes into the sea. The mountain does. So many times, us and people, we're going down this path. A mountain's in our way, and we just jump into the sea and think we're gonna swim around it. You do not get off the path. The mountain gets off the path. God doesn't tell you to leave this path. He doesn't tell you to leave this path. If he tells you to be somewhere, you be there. You don't leave because of a mountain. He tells the obstacle to move off the path. Don't move off the path to avoid the mountain. Speak to the Mountain. Let it move.”

#OneStepFaith
“Because and I say that because because Peter understood something. He understood something. Walking with Jesus happens one step at a time. Don't try to do 10 steps, seven steps, nine steps. No. It's one step at a time. And that's why in second Peter one five through seven, we talked about this a couple months ago. And on this this this faith walk that that because it's a now faith, and to your faith, you're gonna add virtue and virtue, knowledge, knowledge, self control, self control, patience, patience, goodness, goodness, brotherly kindness, brotherly kindness, love. See, Peter Peter says, now keep taking the next step. Keep taking that step. Stay on that way, that narrow way, that path.”
40s
#NowFaith
“That in and narrow is now. Not tomorrow, not yesterday, but now. See, how did Peter get there? How did Peter get to Jesus? How did Peter get off that boat? Well, Hebrews 11 says, now faith Now faith. Not yesterday faith, not tomorrow's faith, but now faith. You gotta have a now faith. And Jesus said what? Come. He heard the word come. Now faith is. Peter couldn't say, I'll come tomorrow. He he couldn't say, Jesus, let me pray about it.”
48s
#PutOnChrist
“Every piece of the armor of God is a piece of Jesus. That's how I can walk. That's how when I had that, he is what? In second Corinthians five twenty one, he is my righteousness. John fourteen six, he is the truth. Ephesians two fourteen, he is my peace. John one one, he is my salvation. Romans thirteen fourteen, the armor is really putting on what? Christ. That's what you're doing. And when you put on Christ now, I am on the what? The way. I'm on the narrow way, the narrow path. I'm on Jesus.”
