#LiveBeyondWords
“To say, Jesus, I wanna live beyond words. I wanna live out my faith. I want it to be real. I want it to be active. You'll treat people based on how God's treated you and not what you can gain from them. This week, I... Man, here's something that I would just encourage you to, intentionally give your attention to someone who has nothing to offer you.”

#JesusOverPersecution
“So, have a danger on one side, this this call to take up our cross. One danger is we're actually not prepared for the suffering that will come to followers of Christ. I think there's a danger on the other side as well. Instead of being totally unprepared for suffering, there's a danger in assuming that suffering is the aim, that we we look for suffering. Suffering is not the pursuit. Jesus is the pursuit. Don't aim for persecution as if that's a sign of our holiness. Being like Jesus is a sign of our holiness.”

#MercyChangesUs
“Those who receive the mercy of God absolutely become people of mercy. A 100% of the time. Like, it's it's not a it's not a 50, it's not like some people are merciful. Now, this is a spiritual gift, they become more, like, some people are more merciful than others. But every person who places their faith in Jesus and experiences the mercy of Jesus becomes merciful.”

#FaithInAction
“But James is gonna go on and say, man, real faith requires action. We'll see that in the next couple of weeks. And I think what James is getting at here is that if you're not merciful towards others, if you're not actively merciful, actively trying to relieve the problems, the hurt, the sin in other people's lives, then you might need to question whether or not you've really received the mercy of God.”
36s
#LiveForJesus
“Jesus gives us a warning in our text this morning. Don't live for yourself. Don't live for the here and now. If you do so, you will lose your soul. Your time on earth is short. It's just a mist, a vapor. If you live this life trying to please yourself, your old self we could call it, to gratify the desires of the flesh, then an eternity of suffering awaits.”
32s
#EternalWealth
“You could be Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk. You can have more money than you could ever hope to spend and forfeit your soul in the process, and then what good is it to you? If living your life to accumulate material wealth and possessions is your aim, if you want the power and influence, if you want to avoid suffering and hardship, that's gonna lead to an eternity of suffering. Then what good have you done?”
