#LavishGrace
“There's no amount of disappointment that will cause god to throw in the towel, give up on you. There is nothing you can do today to diminish god's hope in your tomorrow, a god whose favor can't be reduced based on your performance. You can exhaust the favor of god because he's not giving you favor and blessing like it's rations. As if the resources of heaven are limited. God is lavishing you with far more than you could ever need. Everything made available to God, God makes available to you. So Jesus gives you a reason for wild celebration. That's why at the very beginning of Jesus' ministry, he extends a party because he brought something worth celebrating.”

#StewardYourPower
“The temptation to misuse power doesn't just raise questions for those at the top. Often, it's really a question for people in the middle, folks stuck between God and the empire. It's easy to say billionaires and world leaders should use their money and power for good because it pushes the blame outward when all when we all, in some way, shape, or form, have power that we can use for good instead of using it for personal gain.”
36s
#GodWalksBesideYou
“When you're anxious about not having enough, remember the manna in the wilderness. When you are tempted by quick glory, remember Jesus's path of self sacrifice. Let these family stories remind you of the pilgrims and the prophets and the seekers who have gone before you and the god who never left their side. The god who gave himself for you and rose again in order to keep walking alongside you. The god who is beside you right now continually writing more family stories for the collection. Amen.”
32s
#SteadfastResilience
“But, you know, the older I've gotten, the more I realize that long term faithfulness and endurance is underrated. In fact, I've come to see that steadfastness and resilience are really strategic. They're hard. It's one thing to be involved in a flash pan moment when everyone's excited. It's another to that person just keeps showing up week after week week after week after week after week after week.”
45s
#JesusSatisfies
“But it's time for us to bring Jesus, to tell him Jesus saves. Jesus keeps. Jesus satisfies. There's no satisfaction you will find outside of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. All we need is in Jesus. The money won't save you. The fame won't save you. Praise God. The big houses and cars and lands, they won't save you because after all you after all you get all of that, praise God, you still have an empty place inside of you. My God. There's still an empty void that need to be filled, and the only thing that can fill that, the only one that can fill that is Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. It doesn't matter what you have. It doesn't matter your status in life. Glory to God.”
47s
#UnsungHands
“Who was it that filled the jar, that ladled out the glass, that carried it over to the head of the table? It wasn't the best man. It wasn't Jesus' inner circle, the disciples. It wasn't Mary who asked for the miracle in the first place. It was the people punching the clock while everyone else was dancing. It was the people most likely to be overlooked. Jesus' first miracle does not happen without the work of the people that everyone else was looking right through. That's how tightly God has tied his power to human beings. That's how well God notices what we don't notice.”
28s
#ResilientFaith
“A firm foundation in God is a good start. But when we are stretched in too many directions or are tired, overwhelmed, stressed, not getting enough sleep, not drinking enough water, overstimulated, or watching too much news, it's a lot easier to be pushed over. Our faith doesn't do away with temptation and hardships, but rather gives us the courage and strength to stand among them.”
24s
#HopeInChrist
“We go back to the wilderness, back to the hunger, to the temptation, and we remember the painful journey that Christ took to the cross. Not to make ourselves feel guilty, but to remember who we are and to remember who God is. We are people whose hope is not in our ability to resist temptation, but our hope is in Christ who resisted for us.”
20s
#RootedInChrist
“And therefore, on the ground of my justification and the fact that I am at peace with God and my life is rooted in him, my identity is in Christ, The fact that God has a process that he's working out, and my hope is the fact that the holy spirit gives me every resource that I need. I can have confidence that I don't know how I'm gonna make it, but I know I'm gonna make it because he's gonna help me, and he promised that he would.”
31s
#JesusDelivers
“There's so many people out choosing this path. They're choosing the path, and at the end of the day, guess what they do? They're gonna come right back and say, listen. I just tried that. I've tried this. And you waste all those years trying this and trying that, and nothing is wrong with that. That's your experience. That's fine. But I'm gonna encourage you today to try Jesus. Try Jesus. He will never fail you. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. Mighty God, he will deliver he will deliver you from all your fears.”
