#ForgivenByJesus
“There is no sin recorded in the lamb's book of life because the blood of Jesus Christ has forgiven you. Therefore, your sins, as Jesus says, are cast as far as the East is from the West. You can never get to them again. Listen, this is good news. Sins can be forgiven. Our name can be written in the lamb's book of life. If it's not, your name is written in the books that records every bad and good deed you have ever done.”

#ShareGodsGrace
“Your friends, whoever your one is, you don't go to them because you're condemning them. You're loving them with the same grace that God gave you. And you gotta remember, I once was in their shoes. Amen. All of us once walked in darkness. All of us walked against the ways of God. All of us once were under the peril of Satan. now we've been redeemed to walk in this marvelous light, to live a life by grace, and to share that with other people.”

#JesusSaves
“If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you will be born twice and die once. If you're an unbeliever and do not believe in Jesus Christ, you will be born once, but you will die twice. And the second death is the death of the lake of fire, the same place that's bound for Satan and his minions. We do not wanna be a part of that.”

And how marvelous and amazing it truly is. God, that we get to live this life with you to know the one true God, to know the salvific story of Christ, and that your spirit has been poured out on your people, God, so that you can move amongst us and make us better, make us more like Jesus. God, may that be our prayer today, may that be our focus today and our purpose.”

#HandsFeetToNepal
“recover. Pray that the gospel will be able to come in with the hands and feet of Jesus doing this work, and that people will not only be taken care of physically but also spiritually. And I pray also emotionally in the aftermath of this. The recovery of this is just enormous. So, we pray for the well-being of a region of the world probably many of us have never been to, and a region of the world, Lord, that's in in pretty much poverty and struggling. So, God, the resources we can provide from afar through the teams that we have on the ground will go we'll extend help from who knew? From Lexington Park, Maryland all the way to Nepal. God, thank you that we get to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.”

#VBSJesusJourney
“That's what we're doing with VBS this week, is we're exploring exactly how Jesus is light, by going through events in his life, things that he did that just changed everything. It pushed back the darkness. Notice when light enters a room, there's no struggle with the darkness. The darkness just flees immediately. That's exactly what it was like when Jesus came. Ultimately, his light could never be stopped. we now carry his light with us, and we spread it throughout the world. Again, the gates of Hades will not be able to prevail against the church, because we have the light of Christ always overcomes the darkness. That's what VBS is gonna be about this week. And so, we'll explore Jesus' life, and then we'll get into the gospel as a result.”

#TrinityAtBaptism
“Can God say of anybody except Jesus that he is well pleased? Praise God. One day, hopefully, we go to heaven and he says, well done, my good and faithful servant. But that's only through Christ and Christ's righteousness, what the light that Christ gave us. He is the source of the light. So, here it is that God is saying to him, I am genuinely well pleased in you. You are pure, you have not sinned, you've done everything that I've commanded you. And so, Jesus exemplified the true light. This is it right here. And what's cool also, which is interesting to me, is that at his baptism, the whole trinity is there. You have the father speaking, you have Jesus getting baptized, and then you have the Holy Spirit coming down as a dove from heaven. It was that big of a moment that they all had to be present.”

#LightOfGodWithin
“``It's amazing just to think that the light of God, pure, unstained light comes into our hearts as stained, sinful humans. And it's only possible because Jesus wipes away our sin. And so now, we can actually have the Holy Spirit in us. I pray that God would help us to realize the weight, the gravity of that truth, just every day. That we have that kind of light dwelling in us by belief in Christ. And and it's something you have to share because everybody else is living in darkness, and so they need it.”
43s
#JesusAsLight
“He is the light of the world? He was a person walking around with us. How could he himself be light? What's the analogy here? What is the metaphor? That's what we're doing with VBS this week, is we're exploring exactly how Jesus is light, by going through events in his life, things that he did that just changed everything. It pushed back the darkness. Notice when light enters a room, there's no struggle with the darkness. The darkness just flees immediately. That's exactly what it was like when Jesus came. Ultimately, his light could never be stopped.”
