#SawButDidntBelieve
“Judas was chosen to be an apostle, but not chosen for salvation. How do we know this? Jesus Judas was not chosen to be saved because he experienced the full revelation of the person of Christ as being god, and he did not believe. I mean, Judas is with the Lord all his ministry every day with Jesus. He he saw God in all of his miracles. He saw Christ performing all of these glorious miracles. He saw the Lord walking on water. He saw the Lord calm the sea. He heard the majestic voice of God from heaven, not once, but twice. He heard the clear gospel and the call of to of Christ, calling them to come to him and to believe in him as the Lord spoke to the masses and multitudes about repentance and about who he is. Judas heard it all. And on top of this, the Lord even washed his feet. Yet still, he did not believe.”

“Because to really listen and understand, you better be more focused on connecting than correcting. That's hard for our sin nature. We just wanna fix it and where I'm starting from my vantage point, that's the right way but that's not how to honor God and honor others. Listen, I mean this sincerely. I'm convinced that you and I would be shocked about how much of the conflict we're experiencing in relationships would actually go away if we would simply take the time to try and understand where the other person is coming from. Practice it and see if God might just use it. Number five, speak the truth in love. Speak the truth love.”

#FaithNotWorks
“Jesus says, you can't get in by what you do. You can't come before the throne of judgment talking about you preached a good sermon or you helped the homeless or you helped you can't come before god's throne talking about what you've done because if he if you bring up your good, that means Jesus has to bring up your bad. And guess what? Your good is not good enough to erase all the bad that you've done. So these people, this is what Jesus is listening for. Hey. What are you talking about? Are you trying to get in here by your own good works? That's what he's listening for. That's what he's gonna make a judgment about. He says, if you try to get in here talking about the stuff that you've done, you're gonna rise and be condemned. But this other group, this other group, we're not gonna be talking about what we did good or our good works because we understand that there's nothing good we can do to earn God's good graces.”

#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.”

#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.”

#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.”
