#GodIsInControl
“That struggle, it will not last forever. That sickness, it will not last forever. The children getting on your last nerve, that will not last forever. So we have to remember, even in the God bless you. Even in those situations, God is in control. God is in control. Even in our suffering, even when you're going through the hard times, people say, well, where was God? He's right there. He's right here. Sometimes he's got my back because I just can't stand up anymore, but he's with me always. you have to think about Job. God gave clear definition of what could happen. There was a beginning and an end, and when he told him there was one thing he could not do, and that was take his life. It was very clear, very clear. So satan may tempt, he may test, he may cause us to suffer, there may be pain, but the good news is he has no power over our eternal destiny. God is still in control.”

#StandForJesus
“See, and the devil uses fear as a weapon. Fear of suffering, fear of loss, fear of rejection, fear of death. Again, I can't imagine standing up here and renouncing why all of you were on the other side. But that's what they did. Again, so important who we surround ourselves with. Look at how they stuck together, how they stood on God's word and did not give in to the pressure to say, I love the emperor, or I'm Jewish. They said, no, Jesus is my king. I worship the son of God. They said, I love Jesus more than I love myself and my life. I am willing to suffer for him. Are we willing to do that?”

#CrownOfLife
“``God doesn't want us to fear death. You know why? Because he already beat it. He rose on that third day. So the last part of this verse is so powerful when he says we will have eternal life. He will give us the crown of life. Right? Be faithful to death. Again, he doesn't tell us we won't suffer, but he does promise us this. Our faithfulness is gonna result in a reward. That's something you can hold on to. Jesus, I'm having a hard time right now, but Lord, I know you have something for me. I know you've got a crown of life. I know that you're with me. I know that you're holding me tight. I know you're going to get through this with me.”
39s
#WarIsWon
“See, the war has already been won for us, though. That's the good news. The war has already been won. Yes, we're gonna have to fight the battles, our battles, our battles as a church, our battles as a society, but when we give our life to Jesus, we can trust him because we have peace. The fruit of the spirit, right? We have peace, love, joy, peace. Not fleeting, not it's here today and down here tomorrow. We have peace. We can walk in knowing that our Jesus has already won the war.”
59s
#OvercomerMindset
“So what is an overcomer? This series is going to talk about it, but what is an overcomer? An overcomer is a believer who refuses to accept defeat. because you're strong, hear me, not because you're intelligent, not because you have some letters after your name. We refuse to be defeated because Christ has already won the war. So I'm not looking at defeat in any situation. I'm not looking at something saying, I guess I'm gonna fail at that. I guess I'm not gonna be able to make it. No. Because the same God that had his son die on the cross lives on the inside of me. And if he was not defeated, then neither am I.”
59s
#TreeOfLifePromise
“This whole journey began with a garden and a tree. The problem is they picked the wrong tree to eat from. They could have eaten from the tree of life and live forever, but instead they picked the tree that was most enticing, which was the knowledge of good and evil and they lost everything. But Jesus says, if we get our love with him right, he's going to bring back a tree that bears fruit. And that fruit is going to bring us life, that we're going to have a life that is fulfilling, a life that is meaningful, a life that even though our eyes close on this earth, a life that will keep on going on into eternity. That's the life that we need. That's the life that God gives us, but it requires us to stick with our first love.”
49s
#ReturnToFirstLove
“``If you feel your walk with Christ is not fulfilling and exciting, you have the same problem that the Ephesians had. You gotta go back to your first love. Because when you are following Jesus, you will understand that there is a joy in waking up every day knowing that Jesus calls the shots for your life. Now we don't like people criticizing or or or telling us correction because we think it's not a sign that they care about us. But I need you to hear this statement. Jesus cares for us enough to confront us.”
33s
#RepentAndReturn
“The path back to God always runs through honest acknowledgment of where we are and where we need to be. And that's what I'm hoping today that that you have picked up, that you will honestly look at yourself, look at your walk with God, and say, God, have I displaced you in my heart with something else? If so, I repent, and I'm going to return to doing the things that I'm supposed to do.”
67s
#PromisesOverProblems
“See, your your painful seasons, they are temporary. I know sometimes it doesn't feel like it, but they are temporary. And I know that you're dealing with heartbreak or your family is disgruntled in in disarray. I know sometimes you're handling all the responsibilities of life and it can feel like I'm losing myself. Your your trials aren't small, but I just wanna remind you that the promises of God are greater. are greater than what you currently face, and I just need you to focus on the one who is greater and magnify who he is in your life. You're so busy talking about, oh, I'm going through this or, like, I had a hard time pray for me with this. Well, why don't I rejoice and magnify the Lord and turn my focus to him and not my situation? Your trials aren't small, but God's promises are greater.”
72s
#FaithWithoutSeeing
“But the people that he's writing to, they never did. They never walked with Jesus. They never heard his voice. They didn't see him on the cross crucified. They didn't see him resurrected walking through the streets. Never saw an empty tomb, and yet they loved him. While they couldn't see him, they were already filled with inexpressible and glorious Because joy is not produced based on seeing. It's not based on what you see, what you have vision for, what your plans can make happen. That's not how joy is produced. And as believers, we operate by faith, meaning we are fully persuaded that God is able. I might not know the when. I might not know the how. Mhmm. But I know that he's able, and I know that he's working. Because I believe it.”
