#TrustGodsPlan
“Hey. Part of being god is he knows all the facts, and part of being a creature is I can trust that God knows all the facts. I don't need to, like, fix it. I don't need to figure it out. And sometimes, see, these Israelites, they had just enough information to make a bunch of guesses and not enough information to get anything right. That's often what we have. Doesn't that sound familiar? You got just enough information to have a bunch of guesses and not enough information to get everything right.”

#FeedTheHungry
“A coinage that looks at the starving children of the world and asks not why is there so much suffering in the world, But ask, surely, there's something we can do. Not for our glory, not for our power, but because we have a God of love. We have a god who in the beginning rolled up his sleeves and knelt down in the mud to blow god's own breath into Adam and Eve, bringing forth life where there once was none.”
50s
#HopeInGod
“In God's love and faithfulness, we have a surety in which we can hope. That's what was going on for those early Thessalonians. In the early church, those folks faced challenges and storms like, hopefully, we will never do. There were so much greater than our own today. I mean, those folks were were being imprisoned. They were being burned at the stake. They were being thrown to the lions all because of what they believed, But they hurled strong. They endured. How'd they do that? By keeping their hope in the God whose love was sure. And so they carried on.”
41s
#GodIsOurRefuge
“It doesn't say that God provides refuge. It says that God is our refuge. There's a difference. If God merely provided refuge, gave us refuge, something, that would be something that would be apart from him. But scripture says our safety isn't found in a place, a circumstance, an outcome. Our safety is found in the presence of God himself. A refuge is where fear begins to lose its voice. It's a sanctuary, a place of protection, a place where the weary can finally find rest, a place where you're no longer fighting to survive because someone stronger is holding you.”
38s
#GodsPlanForYourStory
“If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior, I know with a 100% certainty how your story ends. It tells us in the book, we will be with God forever. That's the ending of the greatest story ever told. That does not change today's circumstances and hardships and difficulty, but it's a reminder to pick our eyes up, to remember that there is an almighty God who is sovereign over his story, and it includes you and your story.”
60s
#BaptismAndFaith
“Just as Noah passed through the waters of judgment and emerged safely on the other side, the believer, as we are identified with Jesus, we pass through death, and we raise again victorious. When we are baptized, we are again publicly identifying ourselves with the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But it isn't the water that washes away our sins. It is the saving work of Christ on the cross that the individual has received through faith. It is that that cleanses us and saves us.”
51s
#CourageousConversations
“Quick question. Have you ever had to tell someone something that they didn't wanna hear? had that moment? You've had to share a difficult word or message, maybe at work, maybe in a relationship or with a family member. These moments are not easy. Well, this is Daniel times a thousand. He's brought before the king, says, hey, interpret this message. Daniel then had to say something that the king didn't wanna hear. Imagine for a second being Daniel in that moment. He's a foreigner standing before the king. He could have his head for saying such difficult message. But Daniel has the courage to say it.”
30s
#LiveForGod
“And the only card we're gonna have to play is the Jesus card because we didn't do everything right. Where if I say, god, please don't judge me according to what I did. Judge me according to what Jesus did on my behalf. And I'm so grateful, and I'm so in awe. He didn't have to do it, but he did do it. I'm so in awe of it. I better every single day say, man, I I better... I got time left. I'm gonna live for god right now. I'm gonna give him everything I got because I know for sure I'm going to face him.”
32s
#FearGodTrustJesus
“here's what I wanna suggest to everybody today. The threat might be real. The theory might be wrong, and the mystery might remain for another hundred years. But here's what God wants us to do. Fear the Lord and trust Jesus. Fear the Lord and trust Jesus. See, we don't know what's out there, but number one, God wants us to reject contagious fear.”
51s
#KingdomValues
“What he is urging us is to see not that our political challenges aren't real, they are. Or that the systems of power that we live under don't have real power with real consequences, they do. He is urging his disciples to hear that there is a God who is operating in it with an entirely different coinage. Not the coinage of empires, not the coinage avarice that insist there's never enough. We always need more money and more power, but a coinage of Jesus' kingdom turned upside down.”
