#AllThingsForMyGood
“know god never waste an experience. Scripture says, all things work together for the good to those who and are called according to his purpose. He utilizes, someone say, everything. Everything. When the enemy comes at you one particular way, you know, Joseph said he what you meant for evil, god make come on now. He will make it work for come on. Goliath comes out there with his armor bearer, amen, his weaponry and everything. And David says, look, you come to me with this and that, but I'll come to you. Uh-huh. Come on now. And not knowing that he would bring in the weapon that he would utilize to cut the enemy's head off. I appreciate you bringing it out here. I'm a I'm a need it in a few minutes. Amen. I'm gonna need that. After the lord delivers you into my hand, not arrogantly, not what I'm gonna do to you. Amen. Because I'm scaredful with this thing right here. But it's not gonna be necessarily this thing, but it's the one that backs. Come on. Look at your neighbor and say, neighbor. Neighbor. All things are working together for my good.”

#GodCanUseMe
“``There's somebody smarter than me. There's somebody, more charismatic than me. There is there is you know, someone better than me. And then, in fact, you can now with the age of social media, you can you can look on YouTube. You can find better speakers. You can find better evangelists. You could find better parents or, you know, whatever. You could find it all online, but that's not the point. Even though all of those things are true, the question isn't, am I impressive enough? The real question is, is is God great enough to work through me? And the answer to that question is always yes. Not am I impressive enough, but is God great enough to work through me? If I submit myself in spite of all my weaknesses, in spite of my insecurities, in spite of my failures, if I go to him and I say, okay, God, I want you to use me. I want you to use what I have right now. I want you to use it for your glory. God says, that's great. I can work with that. I can work with a surrendered heart much better than I can work with a prideful heart that has all the outward trappings of greatness.”

“The truth is church, we are always choosing something, that neutrality is just an illusion. Joshua is saying you're either choosing to follow the Lord or you're choosing something else. You have to make that commitment to him. Every person has to respond to that. That's ever lived. Joshua is not just asking for a decision, he's also exposing that they have some competing loyalties in their lives right now. He's saying, put away your what? Put away your gods. Put away your idols. Joshua lists gods from three different places they picked up along the way. Do you see the did you catch that? Look at those three. Beyond the river there's gods beyond the river. So Mesopotamia, there's Egyptian gods, and there's Amorite gods. They're just collecting these different idols along the way, different cultures. Oh, that looks good. I'll take some of that. Oh, that looks great. Yeah. Let me get some of that. Joshua knows that the people that are surrounding him today that he's talking to while outwardly serving Yahweh, many of them are secretly worshiping idols in their homes. They got little idols in their homes and they got idols in their hearts.”

“And maybe one of the reasons, one of the problems for for that we do this is because maybe we look at Jesus instead of as our leader, we look at him as our servant. We look at him as the one who give us whatever we want, whenever we want it, and we expect him to follow behind us and to fix all of the messes that we have created. And when he doesn't follow behind us and fix all of those messes and allows us to suffer the consequences of our sin, many times then we will complain that Jesus has rejected us or he's not staying with us. Jesus came to this world to serve, but not to be our servant, but to be our leader. And he gives us many reasons that he should be the one leading us.”

“Grace was the atmosphere in which he started and finished his life. He lived his whole life in the context of grace, and that is another key to his gratitude and his joy. Cornelius Plantinga Plantinga, who was a Christian philosopher who wrote one of the best little books on gratitude I've ever read, very creatively called gratitude. Okay? Said that the primary enemy of gratitude is entitlement. You see entitlement looks at every good thing in your life and it says, I deserve this. God owes me. People owe me. You owe me. Life owes me.”
64s
“``When I'm guilty, I'm wrong, And there's a holy righteous god whose wrath must deal with sin, and there's not a one of us sitting in this place who's capable of doing what is necessary to appease the righteousness of God, and God said, out of love, I'll do it myself. I'll do it myself. I'll send my son, and he'll become one of you, and he'll show you how it's done. He'll live in perfect holiness and righteousness and yet he'll go to the cross and he will bear the wrath of the holiness and righteousness that I have against the sin you've committed, that I've committed.”
41s
“Thank you for making sure that you have some priests and some pastors willing to stand in the gap. Making sure that all the people that you entrust into that care can get to the other side. Oh my God. That you pray for them. You allow them to pray for them daily. Cover them in prayer. Cover them in love. Preach and teach and model what it looks like so that people can get to the other side. Just like Jesus did. What he needed to do. Make sure that all of us could get to the other side.”

#MoldableInHisHands
“The pot has a purpose. The potter has a purpose for the for the clay, and that part determine the potter determines the purpose of that particular vessel. The clay does not tell the potter what it wants to become. Amen. The potter knows what he is making, and the clay simply has to remain in his hands. And that is the picture of the believer's relationship that god desires to cultivate and to continue to have. But we have to be pliable, teachable, moldable, soft, in the master's hand.”
58s
#YourStoryIsNotOver
“``But that ought to encourage somebody in here today. Your failure does not have to be the final word. Your past does not have to be the final word. Your brokenness does not have to be your final experience. The part of this particular story is that his hand on you. God has not given up on you. he's the author and the finisher of our faith, if he's seen the whole book, we have to trust him with all of the in between. Amen. Amen. Raining time, sunny time, lucrative time, lack seasons, it don't matter. As long as we still have him, you're good.”
25s
#RedeemedInHisHands
“It was spoiled. It was damaged. It was it was dirty. It was flawed. But what's what was interesting, where was it? Somebody said it was in his hands. It was in the potter's hands that, Hicca, the potter didn't say, Hicca, it has to be better than this particular condition for me to work with it. The Bible says that while we were yet sinners, Christ died.”
