#GodsWaysNotOurs
“Here's the principle. God accomplishes his will his way. And when we face obstacles, things that make us wanna give up, remember, god intends even those things for good. look at your life. What are you going through? What are you facing? Some of us in this room have a bad diagnosis from the doctor. Some of us in this room have a financial hardship, a broken relationship that we just can't fix, uncertainty in our career or worse, the fallout of sin or a personal failure. These things feel like dead ends to us, but they are not dead ends to god. Every time a problem rocks your world, ask yourself, did this surprise god? I promise you, god was not surprised. And if god knew about it beforehand and if god is good, you can trust him with it. And he can you you can trust him to use even this to move you closer to the life he wants you to have.”

#SurrenderToJesus
“It's a time to get up and to take that step of faith toward the god who loves you and toward the god who has a better plan for your life. Because I can tell you this without a shadow of a doubt. If god can forgive Saul, he can forgive you. So maybe it's time for you to get up in your heart and to surrender. And in your heart, just kinda wave that white flag of surrender and say, Jesus, I've I've done trying to do things my way. I wanna do things your way. And you're just gonna surrender. You're gonna get up in a spirit of surrender and say, Jesus, I surrender it all to you. Maybe that's a decision some of us need to make.”

I know that because those two words but god changed everything for me and the truth is, those two words but god are still changing everything for me because maybe you don't know me but ask my family. I'm a mess. I I'm a work in progress but day by day, those two words but god are changing everything for me and while I'm not where I need to be, I know I'm definitely not where I used to be. Amen? Amen. And the same thing is true for you. You're not where you need to be but you're also not where you used to be But god can change everything for anyone.”

#GraceNotCancelCulture
“``If god doesn't cancel anyone to include you and I, even though we deserve it, If god doesn't cancel anyone, no matter what our past, no matter what our reputation, then why would we think it's okay to cancel another person that has been made in the image of god just as much as you and I have been? Friends, the mystery of god's grace is that if anyone deserves to be cancelled, it's us. It's you and I but god forgives, but god cleanses, but god redeems, but god grants that second chance that we all need.”

#WalkByFaith
“So often in life, when we choose to walk by faith, that's simply what it means. Being willing to take the first step. It doesn't mean we have the whole plan mapped out. It doesn't mean we know exactly what it's gonna entail or where exactly we're gonna go. It just means we're willing to take that first step. And then in faith, we take another step and we take another step. That's what Saul was having to do. He was being led into this into the city step by step.”

#GodsOriginalVision
“and so today, as we conclude our journey through the book of Exodus, I just want us to be reminded of god's original vision. All the way back in Genesis, his the the the very big idea that that runs throughout the entire Bible and that big idea that runs throughout the Bible is that god's desire is to interact with us, his people, but not just to interact with you. It it's to be near us his people but it's not just to be near you as he was near the people in the tabernacle. Now, his original vision that he's been working in the Old Testament towards as we move into the New Testament was to be so close to his people that he would live in you. He would live in us by his holy spirit.”

#TabernacleWithin
“``Now, here's the good news for us as new covenant believers. That that because of Jesus, because of his atoning sacrifice on a cross, because our sins have been forgiven through him and his sacrifice. We actually get something better than the tabernacle because it's new covenant believers, New Testament believers, the spirit of god actually lives inside of us, his people. That the that the holy spirit of god actually takes up residence inside of us so that we become the temple or the tabernacle or the sanctuary of god. You see, where we meet is just that. It's a meeting place. But under the new covenant because of Jesus, we are the tabernacle of god.”
