#FieldsAreRipe
“But this is compelling with kids. They have no shame. Do we live lives of compelling? Oh, listen. Have we gotten so complacent that we know we're going to heaven and whoever go to hell, go to hell. And that's a scary place to be at y'all because God took time and waited for you and me. Because you may have forgotten, but you and I were on our way to hell. There was a hot hell reserved for you. But somebody compelled somebody in your life, and you came to the Lord. John four thirty five says, don't say four more months and then a harvest. Open your eyes and see. The fields are ripe for harvest.”
77s
“Not my will, but yours be done. That when God says, go. But, God, that looks dangerous. Has God ever led you into a place that he would not take care of you? Right. No. So the picture isn't so much that the experience and the depth, the picture is that the the the more you surrender and when you completely surrender your will and say, God, I can't do this anymore.”
63s
“if we just focused on that and talked about that in verse three, what the law could not do weak as it was to the flesh and stopped right there, then Romans eight one wouldn't be true. Romans eight one, Paul said, there's no condemnation. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. And so Paul puts that big massive truth right up front. No condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and then he begins to explain how that could be. So, you read verse three and then if you stop what the law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, we would be in trouble and we don't get no condemnation but he doesn't stop there. His very next phrase is, god did. Amen. What the law could not do, god did.”
45s
#LifestyleWorship
“And what God's been teaching me this year, and I'm gonna be honest with you. What's really birthed this series is what God's been actually teaching me, and that is this, that a vibrant faith comes from a lifestyle of worship, not a Sunday worship. A vibrant faith comes from a lifestyle of worship, not a Sunday worship. Is this important? I think so. But if this is all you got, don't be surprised when your relationship with God feels stale.”
80s
#KnownAndBeloved
“It's that you are a known and beloved child of God. That's who you are. That's your identity. I don't care where you are. I don't care where you're from. I don't care what you've gone through. I don't care what situation you are in right now. I want you to declare that for yourself. You are a known and beloved child of God, and only you can separate yourself from God. He is continually offering his love, and his grace, and his mercy to you if you will accept it, commit your life to him, and commit your heart to him. You are a known and beloved child of God, and the enemy of your soul, he wants you to believe otherwise. He wants you going down that road to the pity party. He wants you doubting and not trusting if God is going to provide. He wants to capitalize on the misfortunate events that happen in our lives and get us to give up and walk away. And if we're honest, sometimes we're tempted to do just that. It would be a lot easier, but that's not where faith is at. Faith takes courage, and that's why faith gets tested. It has to be refined and proven strong so the enemy can't take you out.”
59s
#HeavenlyFatherSaves
“God the father loves you. He loves you. That's why he wants to save your life. If he didn't love you, he wouldn't care. Just like an earthly father, he says, sure. Fine. Go play out in the freeway. Who cares if a semi hits you, runs you over, and you die? Yeah. That won't be very loving. But because he loves you, he says, no. You can't play out. In fact, there's a fence. You can't go there. And if you go out there, I'm gonna drag you back into the yard because he loves you. He calls you a son, a daughter. He wants to save your life. And so God our father in heaven wants to save your life for all eternity. And that's why he comes into our life to rescue us. And yes, even to discipline us in order to teach us to not go in those wrong directions or to guard our heart. Says, it is for discipline that you endure. It's it's because of God's discipline that you have been spared, that you are saved, that you're still here.”

#BlessingsRequireObedience
“We all want the blessings from God. We all want God to say, hey. Do do this for me, God. Do this. We all I mean, we get we got a prayer sheet a mile long of of folks who who, hey, have requested. God, do this for me. Do this for this person. Heal this person. Do this. Are we obedient, though? Right. We want the blessings, but we don't want to obey. God says, the blessing's on on the other side of the Jordan River. And until you make that step of obedience, you'll never receive those blessings. I wonder how many blessings God has for us right now. I don't wanna sound like a prosperity preacher, but I'm serious. Think about it. How many blessings that God has for us waiting? And he says, man, I got this perfect plan for him. I just gotta wait. I'm just waiting for them to obey. I'm just waiting for this person to get serious. I'm just waiting for this person to to to get right. God says, I've got the blessings ready. Can God do anything? Absolutely, he can. Not until you're obedient. Right. Not until you're obedient.”
83s
#MercyAndJudgment
“It's either Tom Wright or Ben Wetherington, I forget, I think it's Ben. He talks about how we can't water down either the judgment of God nor the mercy of God. we're really quick to do that for other people. At least part of it. The wrath part, we're really quick to water down for ourselves. But tell me well, don't tell me, tell yourself. Anything going on in your life and a conflict with another person that's been going on for a while? Yeah. Yeah. Well, obviously, God's gotta be on your side because you're a good Christian. Right? And they're all wrong. Right? What do we what do we do with this? What do we do with this? And I think it's in the reframing do what Jesus does. Do what Jesus does.”
63s
#ChooseChristFirst
“For I've come to set man against father. This is some tough language. So Jesus isn't about, you know, wanting to create division for division's sake, but he's saying that the importance of the decision to follow Jesus, there's there's no there's not a greater decision in your life. For I've come to set man against his father and daughter against his her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law and one's foes will be members of one's own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Tough language. We hear this in in Luke and Mark as well, but again, what Jesus is saying is that you need to follow me. You need to see that that is your biggest decision. And then in doing that, everything else you need to do as a family and as a person comes together.”
83s
#WeWereCreatedForGod
“You know, maybe that tunes his heart to the truth. Or maybe Asaph is again at the temple and they're observing the sacrificial system and he's considering how he can't atone for his own sin. Someone else has to do it. And so as he's at the temple, he's like, oh, yeah. Like, I need somebody to save me. Maybe that is what changes him. Brothers and sisters, the truth of the matter is is that is that is that the way the world is is that you and I were created to be with God forever. Right? Face to face relationship with God in the garden, but because of sin, we are separated from God forever. And so that means when I read about the wicked, that's all humankind. That's all humankind when we're looking from God's perspective. We all have sinned is what the rest of the Bible teaches. And so when Asaph is calling for the swift judgment of the wicked, he should be calling for the swift judgment of his self as well, which is kind of a hard pill to swallow.”
