#FaithVsThorns
“We have to beware of the suffocation of the world. The thorns in the world deprive plants of air and sun and nutrients, and it doesn't kill your faith. It just crowds it out. It crowds your spiritual life out of your life. It crowds out the church. It crowds out the bible. It crowds out prayer and service and good deeds. It crowds out your peace and joy and and the result is immaturity. It does not mature, it says. Always the needy one, always a consumer and not a contributor, never learning to take responsibility. Unproductive. Now let's move on to the good stuff.”

#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.”
54s
#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.”
51s
#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.”
60s
#GoodSoilFruit
“But it did remind me of how good soil people are selective about what they put into their minds. You can tell what people have been putting in their minds because when they speak, you hear the word of god come out of their mouths. We need to be careful about what we put in. We don't wanna be speaking from the abundance of Facebook reels and TikTok videos. We wanna be speaking from the abundance of the word of God in our hearts. And it says, this comes from an honest and good heart. Doing what's right because it's right, because you love what is right. No internal conflicts. You just wanna do what God wants you to do. So they value it and they apply it. The scripture says, Jesus said, they bear fruit with patience. Patience means they're in it for the long haul. They're committed to doing what is good and having influence, and they produce a bumper crop. In this passage, says a hundredfold. In the other gospels, it says thirty, sixty, a hundredfold.”

#ShallowFaithFalls
“Well, I had preconceived expectations. I expected it to behave in a certain way, and it didn't. The rocky soil people only know about God's blessings. They expect that becoming a Christian will make their lives easier. Maybe because they were won by a soft sell gospel or the health and wealth gospel where God opposes you being sick or poor, Or they've got you chasing for your best life now or you're stuck on the word more because you don't feel like God has given you enough. And Jesus said, in the time of testing, they fall away. They start out shallow, they end up disappointed.”
63s
#UnmaskedFaith
“So here's a biblical definition of hypocrisy. Playing a religious role or performing good deeds to gain human praise rather than honoring God from a sincere heart. The Greek word for hypocrite means a stage actor or one who wears a mask. Now, we're not talking about sincere Christian people who are struggling with sin, who are dealing with sin, who are growing in their sanctification. That's your walk with God. You're you're growing in your relationship with him. And so you're gonna struggle with sin all the way until you go to heaven. So it's not taught, that's not a hypocrite. Someone who's honestly seeking to grow in their faith and dealing with their sin and struggling with their sin and growing some more and falling down and growing some more. That's not a hypocrite. A hypocrite is one who's leading a double life. You're saying one thing to be seen by people and your heart is another place.”
41s
#GraceNotWorks
“By his sacrifice on the cross. It's not of our works. It's not anything that we do. We can't have a big head about it. It's not to be seen by others. God sees our hearts. He sees our sinful selves. And yet, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. He didn't wait for you to get cleaned up. He didn't wait for you to get your act together. He didn't wait for you to get to church and to read the Bible. He died for you when you were at your worst. And we gotta remember that, that it's all of Christ and nothing of us. And keep preaching the gospel to ourselves so that we don't become hypocritical in thinking that we're better than other people.”
33s
#RepentAndFollow
“I wanna do my thing. I wanna go my way. I wanna live my life, But I see that God has a way, that God has a plan. And that's through Jesus Christ. It's a relationship with him by faith. I have some questions. I have some doubts. But my mind is gonna be for the Lord. And my heart, my life, I'm gonna strive to live for him. Not perfectly, I'm gonna falter, I'm gonna fail, but I'm gonna go God's way. That's repentance.”
