#MercifulSavior
“``Because we would know that he is merciful. To him who is the merciful savior. To the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Men will be drawn to him who is full of forgiveness and grace, to him who can eliminate our longing for sin and satisfaction for lust. To him who promised if you drink from the water that I give you. You know what Jesus says? He says, you will never thirst. You will never thirst. To him who can satisfy our souls, to him who is full of loving kindness and deliverance, to him who have all power to heal us from our sick sin domination, To him who can free us, cleanse us, love us, and change us daily. To him who has his arms wide open on the cross to forgive to forgive us by his blood. His crucifixion will draw all men to himself.”

#DoJustlyLoveMercy
“Alright. Let me land this thing real quick. The lawyer started the part of his interaction with Jesus, he wanted a concrete definition. What must I do? And Jesus gave him a direction. Micah instructed, do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly. How do we become a neighbor? How do we grow in love is really the question. Micah told us that with justice, mercy, and humility. Justice makes us the makes sure the man on the road plus the people around us noticed, helped, we actually can move toward them. Mercy means something has to move in our gut, but also has to move our hands. Humility keeps us from becoming the priest and Levite who we love to criticize. Humility keeps us from reacting, from becoming hard in our soul to the real situations of life. Look.”

#HeartLaidBare
“What what follows we need to understand. What follows is not a is not a a strategy session. It's not a a a leadership transition meeting. It's simply a man opening his chest and and letting the people he loves see everything inside. His grief, his his joy, his warnings, we heard, his hope, his faith, and this this fierce, unshakable love for the church that he's leaving behind.”
41s
“We want the word of the lord to speed ahead of us and to be honored by the things that we do. So Paul reminds us that faithful waiting starts with prayer. But faithful waiting is not passive waiting. We're to step in, and we're to take action as well. Prayer does not become an excuse to be passive. Oh, we'll just pray about it and then not take any action. In fact, Jesus' brother James talked about that in the book of James. In the New Testament, he talks about how the kind of faith that sees someone in need that physically needs something, you say, be well, go in peace, but you don't you don't actually do anything to help them.”
45s
“the question becomes, how does that work? I'm almost done. Text says it works because y'all teach us. Jeffrey Allen and Sharon teach us. This is the first piece right here. Life is unfair, but God gives us favor. Man, I'm a just shout by myself on that right there because because life ain't fair. Y'all life ain't fair. It it it it's some of this stuff makes no sense. I look at what's going on in this country right now. The absence of morality the highest positions of government. It ain't fair. I”
83s
“When we see David in Jerusalem with Philistines gone and Jebusites gone and his rule is established, we should think I can't wait until that's Jesus. I'm there in the new heaven, in a new earth. And there are no more funerals. There are no more email prayer requests about loss. There's no more physical therapy to be endured. There's there's no more phone calls in the middle of the night telling you the tragic news. There's no more walking with years with the one you love watching them slowly die. None of it. All of the tears, all of the pain, all of the sorrow, all of the enemies vanquished because of what Jesus Christ has done and because God will keep his promise to do it.”
32s
“And we understand see, grace really should be a eye opening of, look what he saved me from. Man, if he died for me, I'm gonna live for him. Doc, well, I'm saved, and I heard what saved always say. I'm not gonna live the way Ross wants to live. No. The bible says I gave up that right. He bought my life with a price. That's right. I gave them that right. It is no longer I who lives, but Christ who lives in me. Hallelujah.”
19s
“"When you choose to surrender to God's will, it can activate Heaven's help into your life. Lord, this has got to be the prayer you pray. Lord, not My will, but Yours be done. It doesn't make sense to forgive the person who hurt me, but I surrender to Your will."”
57s
#SatanDefeated
“His dominion, his domain meets its doom and its end. You see, Satan was trying to kill Jesus, but in killing Jesus, he put us on kingdom at rest. So, yes, the devil will deceive us, tempt us, seek to destroy us, but eternally, can't touch us. He can't stop what Christ would do. He can't stop the deliverance Christ will give. can't stop the destruction and judgment Christ would do when he returned with all of his holy ones to wage war. Satan can't stop that. The devil can't eliminate the millennial kingdom that Christ will establish on the earth and Satan himself will be bound to deceive the nations no more.”

#CrossRejectedByWorld
“See, we live in a world that despise, that mock, and belittle the cross. Most people don't wanna hear nothing about it. I want you to take an assignment, not go find a coworker and and and try to start start up a conversation about Jesus died on the cross and see how quick that conversation how quick they lead from that conversation. I don't wanna hear about that. I wanna hear about Jesus dying on the cross. See, the world rejects him. A lot of churches reject him, sadly to say. They are ashamed of the cross. But for those who are saved, it is the sweet aroma of our deliverance. It is a sweet aroma of deliverance.”
