#RunToGodNotAway
“Where do you run? Where do you hide when things go bad? Some people are prone to run away from church, run away from God when it hurts. And he's like, no, no. Run to me. I gotta I have a have to have a better track record before I walk in the doors of a church. You know? I'm afraid lightning's gonna strike me, or I'm gonna I'm gonna have something bad happen to me if I try to come clean with God. And it's like, no. Just just come. I could tell you. I I know I know most of you, pretty well, and you guys are so loving and so careful with people that are broken. I'm so thankful for that. I mean, when someone says, man, my life is a mess, you say, tell me your story. I love that about you.”

#TrustNotHiding
“And there's just two trajectories here to pay attention to. Persistent hiding and rebellion is gonna lead you to many sorrows. What? Nobody ever told me that. Yeah. No. That's that's just that's it. Trust and responsiveness leads to being surrounded by steadfast love and joyful praise. This is just the way it is, and you guys are a gift to the city if you would offer it. You're a gift to these to the people in your community, in your neighborhood if you would offer it. Hey, coffee on my porch. Come have tea. Let's talk. Let's I mean, to to to think about just unburdening people, offering hope.”

#SinCoveredByGrace
“This idea of covered sin is is hidden from view. It's it's not that you didn't do it, but God is gonna move that away under mercy. He's gonna veil it and move it away. He covers your sin, and then it's not counted. The sin is not counted. Blessed is the one whose iniquity is not counted, entered into the record. God's like, I'm not gonna post that charge on your record. David says, he stops covering his sin and allows God to cover it. And he says it out loud. And so forgiveness is God's action toward you, and and and you would be blessed. And for if you could be forgiven like this, you would be happy, you would be blessed.”

#CoveredByTheBlood
“You gotta believe what God has done. Right? We know from David's life, he carried, he covered, he didn't count my sin. And in Christ, we're brought into and he's this is the son of David, the messiah of Israel, the true son of David, who now comes to carry our guilt, carry our sin. He carries it onto the tree. You know? He carries it in in in itself. His blood covers our guilt. We can point to the blood of Christ when we sin and say that has covered my shame, covered my guilt. That's amazing.”

#JesusCarriesTheWeight
“He carries the weight. Say that to the person near you. He carries the weight. And then just breathe out and let that weight off your shoulder. He carries the weight. He covers the stains. He covers the stain and refuses to count the offense. That is a beautiful thing. And, obviously, we look to Jesus for that. As as people outside of the covenant of Israel, we come to Jesus and get brought back into the family and grafted back into the covenant and become the people who he cares the wait for. He covers the stain of, and he refuses to carry or count the offense.”
61s
#ChooseHideInGod
“And here's the main point. We can either hide our sin from God or hide ourselves in God. And I'd like you to make a choice, a decision about that posture right now for something in your life. Am I gonna hide this from God, or am I gonna hide myself in God? Make it real specific for yourself because one is gonna destroy you, the other's gonna deliver you. And don't think of it as a once and done, like, oh, look at me. I'm just that was it. I repented, and now I'm ready to go forever. Like, no. That was just the one thing he wanted to talk to you about. There's more, but he's also gracious. I was talking with a friend this morning. It's like, this is the time that god wants you to deal with this thing. And then there will be another time when God wants to deal with this thing. But but are we ready and responsive to say, well, at least in this moment, deliver me, and then I'll learn to trust you in the other things as well.”

#WhereAreYouHiding
“The question that the Psalm is pressing on, and we'll use that language just like it's pressing on us, is simple. Where where are you hiding? And are you hiding your sin from or are you hiding yourself in god? Are you hiding your sin from god, or are you hiding yourself in god? So maybe we'll hold that question as we think through this because one of these pathways distrays you, hiding your sin, hiding all and the other one actually, delivers you.”
30s
#HiddenInChrist
“God refuses to count our sins against us and said counts Christ's righteousness to us and says, oh, you are part of my my son. Well, how did you see me? Why, you were hidden in him. And so when I look at him, when I look for you, I find you in him. And if you're in my son, well, then you're you're my boy too. At least that's what he says to me. He might be your you might be his girl.”
52s
#PoorInSpirit
“``I think when you read that, probably many of you think of the beatitudes, blessed are the poor in spirit, for they shall inherit the kingdom. The poor is not just a lack of finances. It's much more deep than that. It's a utter and complete recognition of your dependence on the Lord glory and knowledge that the gracious God accepts you and grants you entrance into the kingdom. You go from the realm of the poor and the needy to utter dependence on the Lord.”
40s
#GloryInWeakness
“``The disciples were walking along with Jesus, and they saw a blind man in John chapter nine. He said, Jesus, what? Who sinned? The blind man or his parents that he was born blind? Who sinned? This man or his parents that he was born blind? He said, no. Neither sinned that he was born he was born blind to show the glory of God. Why was this man born? To proclaim the greatness and wonder and power and majesty of the king of kings and lord of lords?”

Why Issaquah churches are unique
