#SinDoesntDefineYou
“Think about the differences. So I... I've got a little screen here to help you see this. The religious leaders, essentially, were saying, your sin defines you. Our culture sometimes says, your sins don't matter. It's not that big of a deal. Don't worry about it. But Jesus says something totally different than either of these two. He says, your sin is real. It's bad. It's real. But it doesn't have to define your future. There's hope in Christ. There's hope of redemption. And I'm thankful that God and Jesus are in the restoring business, aren't you?”

“At the end of the day, friends, this isn't about, you know, selling giving to the poor. That's not what this story is about in particular. This particular story is about responding to something that Mary saw. She saw how good God had been. She saw what Jesus had done for her, and she was overwhelmed, and it caused her to do these over the top kinds of things. We're even told in the in the story that that, even Judas, when he was saying these words, he wasn't saying them because he cared about the poor. He was saying them because he wanted to skim off the top. That's not what this story is about. This story is about noticing what God has done and then responding to it in a way that is righteous, in a way that is not not in like, not designed to win more of God's favor, just to say thank you for the favor you've already been given.”

“Just like the prodigal son that came home to the father and the father embraced him. That is our God, Ready to embrace every one of you. I do not know what you're entangled in. I don't know what you're involved in, but Jesus does. Let's get out of the rocks. Let's get out of the trample ground. Let's get out of the thorns. Let's dig in on Jesus. Today, this place is yours. This is between you and the Lord, not me. I am not God. I'm just jacked up as y'all. We need Jesus. He died for us so we can have everlasting life. Let's pray. Father, we need you desperately.”

“Generally don't have a summer that goes by that one air conditioner doesn't go down and calls us a lot of financial cost. And and even though we try to implement maintenance protocols and service service and maintenance contracts, it's just so many moving parts that things break. And so that's what the trustees are for. The trustees serve as as that particular body that answers those calls. We don't necessarily do the work, but we do facilitate and make sure the work gets done so that God's house is ordered, the lights are on, it's a safe and welcoming and inviting place.”
46s
#ChangedByGrace
“Paul explains that God's mercy is is not permission to justify or continue in sin. Instead, we are called to live out this new life. We don't obey God, and and first and then earn His love. He loves us first, but because of His love that we receive as we are, He leads us to this new life. He doesn't leave us as we are. We we say that oftentimes, come as you are. That's that's the invitation that Jesus gives us, come as you are, but it's not an invitation to stay as we are. When we come encounter with the living God, we cannot help but be changed.”

#LoveWarns
“when we see someone who is wandering off in danger, then it's loving to warn them of the danger, is it not? How loving would it be if you see someone who's about to go into a busy street and get hit and you don't say anything? How loving would it be if someone said, you know what? I want a better view of this cliff. Let me go over these guardrails here. And knowing that those stones are not gonna be very stable and they can, move, they could fall, they could trip to their death. Who would not warn them if you know the danger?”
29s
#LoveNotJudgment
“We can love someone without affirming them in their sin. I often say we we don't, we can't look down on people because their sin is different than ours. And I say that with intention because the point is to remind us that we have our own sins. That we're all sinners. And I can't look down on someone because their sin is different than mine, because I'm a sinner too.”
40s
#MercyAndTruth
“The religious leaders saw a woman was condemned, deserved condemnation. Jesus saw a woman who needed mercy. And the truth is that each and every one of us are just like that woman. We deserve condemnation and we need mercy because loving like Jesus means that we also remember what God has offered us, and grace and mercy, and that we also offer grace and mercy. But we can do so while not condoning or affirming sin.”
42s
#ChooseLove
“But what if Jesus treated us that way? What if Jesus, knowing what we've done, could only see the wrong, could only see the sin, He'd only see how, let's be honest, how evil we are. That's what scripture calls sin is evil. What if that's all he saw? And he he said, that's who they are, that's all they'll ever be, move on. Because he would have the right to do that, would you not agree? He he does. He has all right to do that. But the scripture tells us that he chose love. He chose love.”
40s
#ChildOfGod
“But I'm thankful that in Christ, he doesn't see us as a sinner condemned to hell. But because God sees past, present, future, he also sees one day we're gonna be perfectly restored. He sees a person that he created, his image, that he died for, and he sees us covered, our sins washed away with the blood of Christ. And so he doesn't look at us as low down, dirty sinners. He looks at us as a child that he dearly loves.”
