#PeopleNotBuildingsChurch
“Because God's presence lives within us, God's people are the church. Now when Paul talks about the church, when God talks about the church, who what's he talking about? Is He talking about the building? No, He never does. It's never about the building. It's not about a service. I know a lot of times our vocabulary and what we say is, well, I'm going to church. And we might be, I'm going to the church, meaning the building, the church building, or I'm going to a worship gathering of of the church. But it's never about the building. We can have church outside of here, can't we? God doesn't live in a building. He lives within the people. I'll I'll put this saying up here. You can write it down if you want. The church building is not where God lives. The church people are where God lives.”

“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.”

#CitizenByGrace
“It's a time to celebrate because it didn't come easy. It was something they had hoped for, prayed for, dreamed of. And and and now it has happened. Guys, for us, we didn't have to go through the hoops and hurdles. Jesus did everything for us. Amen. Yeah. And we are now citizens because of what he did, because how much he loves us. We don't deserve that. We don't have that right. There's no entitlement. This is a blessing. This is because of grace. This is because of mercy. But I want you to think of the significance of what God has done for you, that you are now considered a citizen of his kingdom.”

#CornerstoneAlignYourLife
“He is the one who's holding it together. He says he's the cornerstone. It would have been the first stone laid that all the other walls, all the other blocks are guided by, and they line up with this one block. This cornerstone is the most important one. Everything that we are must be aligned with Christ. Everything we do must be aligned with Christ. And let me add this, everything we do must align with his word, not the culture's word, not what we think. We don't we don't get to add to or change. We don't get to pick and choose what sounds good for the culture.”

#LoveOverConflict
“But because we're family, we don't run out on family. We love each other. We provide forgiveness. We have reconciliation, because that's what Christ has done for us. And so we don't run out on family. Family doesn't run out on us because we love each other. And something that I always share with with with, couples and premarital counseling and I want to just remind everyone of this today is that our love for one another is greater than our conflict with one another. We've got to remember that. Our love for one another is greater than our conflict with each other.”

#ChurchAsHousehold
“But when God describes the church as his household, he's showing us what family was intended to be. A place where we know people and people know us. A place where we are loved and we can love others, a a place where people will walk with us through the ups and downs in life, and we're there to walk with them, People that are there to encourage us when we're down, and we have the privilege of being able to encourage others.”

#ConnectedToTheBody
“We need one another. That's the way God designed it. And so we're gonna be looking at that, and and what I want us to hear is this, is that when God brings us to himself, he also connects us with his people. When God brings us to himself, when we come become a Christian, when we receive Christ as Lord and Savior, we not only are brought into a relationship with the father, but we're brought into a relationship with the family, with the body of Christ. That is the way it's designed. That's the way God desires. Jesus didn't just say, like, alright. You're forgiven. Now go figure it out on your own.”
41s
#ReconciledFoundBelonging
“While we were still his enemy, he came after us. We were reconciled to him through the death of his son. That's how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life. Because Jesus lives, so do we. So those who have received Jesus Christ as lord and savior are no longer foreigners, no longer strangers, and no longer alone. And not only that, but also walking again through while we're no no longer alone is in Christ we have a place to belong. We have a place to belong.”
