#AgapeCommunity
“And unfortunately, we Christians have become very comfortable, and we thought that because that's comfortable, that must be our community. But thank god he never drew those kinds of delineations. My community is anybody who's a child of god. And that's what I want my community to look like. And so the beloved community is not built on a comfort. It is built on agape. Let me give you our points. Point number one, agape crosses lines that comfort avoids.”
44s
#EveryoneHasValue
“You wonder, are you valuable? You wonder, does your life matter? Look at what Jesus did for you on the cross. He died, gave his life so you could live. Don't you let somebody tell you you are less than whatever because you're not like them. You're made in God's image. so there is neither slave nor free. I don't care if you clean the toilets or you own the building. In God's sight, you're still equal. I don't care if you got millions in the bank or you're overdrawn. In God's eyes, you are still valuable.”
54s
#LoveAcrossLines
“Have you ever thought that that very person that you're drawing a line against is somebody for whom God has erased the line and wants you to be a voice to them, to be a model to them, not for you, but for him. God loves you, and you are called to be his agent in the earth. That means the same love you receive from him daily is the same love those around you deserve to receive.”
53s
#ChooseWiseFriends
“But if somebody's always agreeing with the foolish stuff that you say out of your mouth, out of what I say out of my mouth, you better watch them because they're not a friend. They're an enemy. And an enemy will always multiply kisses. Ain't that what Judas did to Jesus? It was with a kiss that he betrayed Jesus. And the problem is, oh, I hope you'll hear me today, we surround ourselves with enemies, and then we wonder why we can't advance in life. Because everybody's always agreeing with us. Now go and do it. I I... You you right to be upset. Yeah. You're right. How are you gonna grow? And if you're always right, something's wrong. Because only when it's always right is god.”
45s
#TruthAndLove
“So hear this. Truth without love is brutality. And we've brutalized, as Christians, we've brutalized too many people because we think that because we possess truth, we have to beat people over the head with it. But love without truth is permissiveness. I'm just gonna love you anyway. You can do whatever you want. You remain silent. You smile. That's not real love because truth must be attached to love for it to truly be what God wants to have happen.”
33s
#JesusMeetsYouWhereYouAre
“Some of us came because we're broken marriage. Some of us came because turmoil in your family. Some of us came because we were fighting some kind of addiction. Some of us came because we were we were caught out in the world and we didn't know how to get back from it. Some of us came because we just didn't wanna go to hell. Some of us came for all different kinds of reasons. But regardless of the reason why we came, God met us where we were and said if you'll follow me, I'll take you from where you are to where you're supposed to be. All of us need Jesus.”

#LoveOverJudgment
“He sees us just as we are, and he still loves us. So how dare you put somebody down because you don't agree with them? How dare you try to write somebody off because they're wrestling in an area that you don't wrestle in. Jesus died on that cross for all of us. He died on that cross because all of us have something that we're dealing with. He died on that cross because he knew that we needed him. So how dare we judge one another because we don't agree with whatever we don't agree with. And it may very well be something God doesn't agree with. But God doesn't need you defending him. God needs you to do what he told you to do, which is to love ye one another.”
50s
#LovedByGod
“And I need you to know today that you are loved, not because you do everything right, but because you exist. And there's nothing you can do to earn his love. That's why all you can do is just receive it. Would you mind just saying this with me? I'm loved by God. I'm loved by God. So the next time you're feeling like God won't hear you, I'm loved by God. The next time you're thinking that life is bigger than God or God has abandoned you to your situation to handle it on your own, I'm loved by God.”
59s
#UnconditionalLove
“And he doesn't love you anymore on Sunday than he did on Saturday night. He doesn't love you anymore when you're doing the right thing as he does or doesn't when he... When you do the wrong thing. He loves you, full stop. He loves you when you're right. He loves you when you're wrong. He loves you when you're up. He loves you when you're down. He loves you when you read your bible. He loves you when you're too busy to read your bible. He loves you when you pray. He loves you when you don't have time to pray. He loves you when you love other people. He even loves you when you hate other people. His love is not conditional. always available.”
56s
#VisionBlueprint
“And what Nehemiah said in this passage, I I don't want you to miss it because it actually is a blueprint for how vision challenges your present and prepares you for tomorrow. When you have a vision, it identifies a problem, but it also proposes a solution. It testifies to God's goodness and faithfulness, and then it enlists others to participate. And that's the same thing that will happen with your vision. God's given you a vision to write a book. God's given you a vision to start a business, to do something productive. Then you better know that you're solving a problem with what what God's given you to do. But he's going to then show his goodness and faithfulness, and he's going to raise up people to be a help to you to get the job done. Because whatever God calls you to do, it's never just about you alone.”
