#KingdomInheritance
“``Did you know that Jesus willed you something when he died? He willed you a place in that city. When he says, you become citizens of my kingdom. This is the kingdom that he speaks of. When he says you are co heirs with me, is the inheritance that you have received. And it's a double portion of the one thing that most of us would say we desire, but seems to be overlooked in our life because we're anxious, we're overwhelmed, we have marriages that have fallen apart, we've been betrayed. We've been sick. We have loved ones who got sick. We had to pay brills. We got depressed. We lost hope. yet the promise was for something better.”
56s
“Like, the whole thing is a giant blinking arrow pointing to Jesus about how Jesus is the one who hears our cries. He is the one who he the ends of the earth will will proclaim his name and remember him, that he is the one who will rule over all the nations. And the crowning moment for us today is the very last bit where it says their descendants will serve him. The next generation will be told about the lord. They will come and declare his righteousness to a people yet to be born. They will declare what he has done. are the people yet to be born. David wrote the psalm a thousand years before Jesus walked the earth. He wrote it three thousand years before you were born. And it's about him, and it's about Jesus, and it's about you.”
61s
“Ecclesiastes exposes our emptiness because it shows us how we keep drinking water from broken cisterns, achievement, pleasure, possessions, experiences. Yet in all of this, we remain thirsty because the human heart was not made merely for the gifts. Our hearts have been made for the giver. Death reminds us that nothing in this world can finally satisfy or endure. So the ache we feel is meant to drive us beyond creation to the creator himself. Beyond the faucet to the fountain of living water. Beyond the faucet to the fountain of life himself.”

#MyPeaceGiven
“You see, Jesus promised something to you. He didn't promise you his passion. He didn't promise you his perseverance. Five words, my peace give you. It's the peace of god. It's not the world's peace, and so the world can't take it away. They cannot do anything to make my life unpeaceful. It's a gift from god. So the world can't take it away. My question is, how many of us have accepted it?”
49s
#GiveGodYourProblems
“It doesn't make sense to us. It doesn't make sense to our neighbors. It doesn't make sense to the world, but it is a peace that transcends any circumstance we may ever find ourselves in. So what do we have to do? We have to fix our lie our thoughts. We have to not believe the lies. The lies that Satan begins to tell us, the lies that our neighbors tell us, the lies that we say about ourselves. We have to stop listening to them and listening to a god who says, I have created you. You are very good. And as soon as I begin putting any problems into my into the hands of god and taking them out of my hands, there will be a peace that matches the peace that Jesus has promised to give to me.”
38s
#ShalomWholeness
“But I didn't always live like that, and I don't always live like that. And, you see, I didn't really understand the whole meaning of this shalom word that was peace. You see, this is a wholeness. It's a completeness. It's a fullness of peace. I don't have a need for anything if I say this is the the attitude that I live in, that I am complete. I'm filled up. I don't need anything else. And isn't that why we don't have peace? We feel like we're missing something in our life.”
56s
#GodWasInTheBoat
“Listen, you might not say this but you might say, lord Jesus, do you, don't you care that my kid's sick? Don't you care that my marriage is falling apart? Don't you care that my friends have deserted me? Don't you care that I have no money? Don't you care that I feel alone? Don't you care that I wanna give up? Don't you care that my loved one has died? Don't you care that I lost my job? Don't you care that my motorcycle got smashed in a parking lot? Don't you care? Okay. Maybe that one's a little personal. The deepest struggles of our life is nap time to god because here's the reality. It's not that he doesn't care. Of course, he cares. If he didn't care, he wouldn't have been in the boat. And the promise that I told you to begin with that he will always be with us is proof that Jesus cares. He cares.”
46s
#ObedienceIsNotSmooth
“``The waves are coming in. They're getting tossed to and fro. This little wooden boat that that shouldn't actually even float according to our thinking is taking on water. There's probably nobody else out there because nobody else is foolish enough to go out there. And again, all they did was obey Jesus and I think it's an important lesson for us. This is that obedience to Christ doesn't always mean smooth sailing. And so for all of us who say, well, I'll just do what Jesus says and life will be easy. I've got a news flash for you. Sometimes, Jesus says, hey, let's go out on a lake. And it's not going to be fun and there's going to be storms.”
41s
#CalmInTheStorm
“Listen, everybody else in the boat, this is life or death situation. To Jesus, it was nap time. I want you to think about that for a moment. That the hardest thing that we ever go through in life, we seems devastating in life and death situation to us is nap time for the creator of the world. You can sleep through it and for many of us, we seem to think, well, does that mean that he doesn't care? Does that mean that he he doesn't want anything? Right? They asked him, do you not care that we're perishing?”
43s
#JesusIsSovereign
“You see the disciples in a matter of moment saw a few things. One, they saw Jesus as humanity. He was tired and they saw his divinity as well that he was sovereign. He controlled everything. In case they had ever forgotten, he was able to say, I'm still the boss in this boat. I'm still the boss on this sea. I'm still the boss in this world. And in a few chapters, I'm gonna let you know that all authority on heaven and earth is given unto me because in this world, I'm still the boss and I'm still with you. I'm still with you.”

Why Lansing churches are unique
