#ChristOverCredentials
“``When Paul encountered Christ, he realized that all is his qualification could never accomplish what only Jesus could do. And we have our own resumes. We have our careers, our education, relationship, titles, possessions, accomplishments, even the things we do here in the church. These things aren't bad. danger comes from when good things become the source of our identity, confidence, and joy. Because what happens when we lose that job, or that relationship doesn't work out and it or continues to struggle, the money is tight, or if our plans fall through? If if our joy depends on everything going right, when everything goes wrong, our joy goes away with it. Paul discovers something better, to remain steady and joyful in changing circumstances, our confidence must be placed in an unchanging Christ.”

#JesusCameToSave
“For I did not come into the world to judge the world. He says it emphatically. The Lord came to save sozo the world. He came to bring deliverance, to bring healing, to make us well from our sin sick condition. This is why Jesus came. He died on the cross to bring that redemption. Christ will save the world by dying on the cross for sin and resurrecting on the third day so that man could be forgiven of his sins. That is why Christ can.”

#PrayerRealigns
“And then he says, lead us not into temptation. this, as we understand that god doesn't tempt anybody toward evil, but this is the request for guidance and protection that he would lead us out and away from it rather than leave us to be able to face it alone. And so, as we look at this, we notice what this prayer is not. It's not a wish list. It's a way of realigning ourselves with who God is before we ask him for anything. And so this brings us back to Mary as she sat in the presence of Jesus. And when we sit in his presence and when we receive for him, it reorders our understanding of who he is, who we are, and then what he has for us outside of that moment. And so this prayer is that realigning of who he is and who we are in light of him.”
44s
#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."”
60s
#SalvationByGrace
“We may, we may not have the same struggles as they did back in the in the scripture days because we can easily say, I go to church. I serve. I tithe. I read my bible, and I go to bible study. hey, come on, miss Bonnie. I've been saved for years. Like miss Bonnie said, that was a lot of i's right there. Now, those are all good things. Don't get it twisted. But none of those things was is able to save us. It's only through Jesus that we are saved. Salvation is a gift. The moment we think we earned it, we've mistaken grace. Our good works are not the price of salvation. They are our response to the salvation we have already received.”
