#FaithInTheWaiting
“``Faith in the waiting doesn't mean that the waiting is not gonna suck. It doesn't mean it's not gonna hurt. It doesn't mean we're not gonna cry out to God and say, God, how much longer? It just means that we will keep turning toward God instead of away from him. Today, tomorrow, and the day after that. Because one day, all of this waiting is going to come to an end. One day, Jesus will come back. Our faith is gonna be made sight. One day, every single wrong that has ever been committed will be brought before the righteous judge. But until that count that day comes, Jesus pleads and and asks us, don't lose heart. Don't lose heart. Keep your faith in the waiting.”

#ResumeIsNotJustification
“Neither of these things friends make us justified before God. If you're approaching God and you wanna say, hey, know, God when it comes time when you're asking me why should I be allowed into your kingdom and you say, hey, I've got this resume to lay before you. I've been a church member for forty years. I've served every single week. What's God gonna say? If you come and you say, hey, you know, well, I'm gonna be honest about myself. Lord, I I've had multiple affairs. I have a prison record. Is that gonna justify you before God? Also, no. See the problem isn't what's on the resume. The problem that Jesus is confronting is that there is a resume.”

#FalsaLibertadDelPecado
“Hay quienes piensan que la verdadera libertad consiste en vivir lejos de dios. Hay personas que creen que ellos van a llegar a ser libres cuando se alejen de dios, que ellos ya no van a tener, este, tantas prohibiciones, que ellos ya no van a tener que darle cuentas a nadie, y al alejarse de dios, ellos van a adquirir o obtener esa libertad que tanto esperan. Creen que dios limita su felicidad, ¿sí? Que sus mandamientos estorban, que los pedimentos que dios pone estorban para sus vidas, que la vida comenzará realmente cuando ellos puedan hacer lo que se les antoje. ¿Cierto o no es cierto? Hermano, el pecado siempre nos va a prometer libertad, siempre. El pecado siempre promete libertad, pero termina produciendo esclavitud.”

#ForgivenessIsTheFruit
“Okay. So once again, we're we're seeing this tension. Okay. We are saved by grace alone, we're also being called here very, very clearly, we need to forgive. What that shows us is forgiveness is not the root of salvation. We don't forgive others and then receive salvation. Forgiveness isn't the root, but forgiveness is the fruit. Forgiveness is the fruit of salvation. And when we put our hope, faith, and trust in Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior, he forgives us. What then? Outside of ourselves, we are to forgive others when it's hard, when it's easy, when it's challenging, when we don't want to. We are to forgive others because Christ first forgave us, and that is a fruit that the Holy Spirit can help us with.”

#JesusPaidItAll
“``The Bible tells us that God created you to be with him, to be in his presence, and to enjoy him. But like I already mentioned, the sin that we get involved with, that we get tangled up on, that that we inherited from our ancestors, Adam and Eve, this sin is such that it separates us from God. And there's nothing we can do to get rid of that sin, to atone for that sin, to get rid of it off of ourselves. The only way was for Jesus to come to earth, to live the perfect life, take on human flesh, to go to the cross in our place, and all the wrath of God that we deserved was poured out on Jesus.”

#PatientAndJustGod
“Thank you that you're patient. Because when Jesus asked the question, will he delay long over them? He uses the same word that first Peter uses, when he writes about the days of Noah, that God was patient in first Peter three twenty, that God was patient in those days. That God had set a time for judgment. And he said to know a building ark. The ark wasn't built overnight. God was patient. He delayed for a time. But the judgment is appointed. That's the sobering reality, the hope even that Jesus is talking about. That, yes, the days are evil, but God will make everything right.”

#GodIsFaithful
“That when God has promised something, it's as good as done even if we don't see it done in the moment because he's he didn't lie when he made the promise, and he didn't change from the time that he made the promise till today. So his promise is as good as good. Because the confidence, when the Bible talks about us as believers having confidence, it is far, far deeper than a, I just, you know, I hope I hope things turn out. I hope God does something through this. I hope, I hope. It's, you know what? I know God's gonna do something because I know who God is.”

#PrayToPersevere
“Keep going. There will be hard days, but continue in prayer. So faith in the waiting. Don't quit when God seems quiet. Faith in the waiting means we pray to persevere. And finally, faith in the waiting means we hold on to hope. We hold on to hope. Not a wishful sense of hope, not a, you you can lick your finger and feel all the winds going kinda hope. You're like, let's let's just see what happens kind of deal. It's a hope that the Bible talks about is far more concrete than that. Confidence might be a better word.”

#FaceMortality
“The second group of people that understand this are people that are on hospice care. So the billionaires get it, and the people who have limited time, they understand it too. Because if you're told you got two months to live, you're not worried about the crop in your barn. You're not worried about your four zero one k. You're thinking about the things that are spiritual or immediate, and the people on hospice care understand it. Now let me just be super lovingly kind. We're all on hospice care, and we all don't know how many more breasts we have. And if this past week and our church family doesn't tell us anything other than that, then we haven't learned a lesson. We're not guaranteed another day.”

#TrueJoyInJesus
“And, I know you're sitting there thinking, well, I'll try a billion dollars for a couple months. I'll let me get back to you, pastor, on that thing. And, I know it does bring some satisfaction, but ultimately, it doesn't bring spiritual life. And that is the thing that your creator God has made you for, for a relationship with him through Jesus Christ. It's manufacturer spec specifications. You will never know true joy and happiness until you know the one who created you. And the way that you know him is through Jesus.”
