#ThinkBeyondBread
“I think maybe the one who would keep us subjugated, enslaved, dominated, kind of employs a similar tactic. Just keep our heads down. Keep us thinking about our next meal, our next problem, our next need. Forget that there is a world out there that exists beyond merely scraping mustering provision that exists for improving, for advancing, for blessing, for helping, for participating. One of the greatest lies I encounter in pastoral ministry of the enemy is this distraction of provision. And that's not to say our provision is not important. It's to say that it's not the end game. It's neither in question. It's a matter of course. And if the enemy can keep us focused on that which God has already promised us, he keeps us from focusing on that which God has invited us to.”

“That, my friends, is an extraordinary freedom. Jesus Christ gives us the freedom to say no when spiritual forces of wickedness crop up even in our own hearts, that we do not have to be defined by the most heinous impulses of corrupted human nature, that we can actually claim the authority of Jesus over these powers, over these principalities, over these wickednesses, over these ideas, and say, no. We do not need to be defined by them.”
38s
“Repentance is this, it is the heart set, it's a heart saying, Jesus, I want you more than I want my own way. Jesus, I want you more than I want my own way. Repentance is saying no to the idolatry in your life. If you place anything as lord over your life, it becomes an idol. Repentance is going, I have done that and I am done with it. Here's what I found in my own life. My heart gets hardened if I'm not continually repenting.”
45s
“I've asked myself many times, why Peter? Wasn't this the same Peter that a few weeks ago, Peter sunk like a rock into the water? And Jesus said to him, you of little faith. And then we come to this week when Jesus says, Peter, you shall be the foundation of the church. And I was taught that the name Peter means rock and Jesus wanted a ministry he that he started to continue and Peter would be the guiding force that would continue the ministry of Jesus Christ.”
50s
“Lord, make us Melvins. Lord, we wanna be a people who come with hunger. Those who aren't interested in who's the best, who we like better. But Lord, we're hungry for you in any way that you choose to come. We're so grateful for the many avenues that you do choose to come in the unexpected ways. Lord, you love us that much that you wanna continually be before us, showing yourself to us, transforming us into your image. We pray that as a body, we could be a body of hunger that's all about God. It's not interested in being better or worse than anyone else. It is here for you and loves you. We pray all this in Jesus' name.”
52s
“And God has chosen to pour out the fullness of his anger and wrath on his son Jesus for our sake, to redeem us and to forgive us for all of our sins, including our tendency to embrace anger and wrath that is born out of selfishness, born out of pride, born out of ungodly fear. Jesus died to redeem us from these things as well. If God uses anger and wrath in this in such a way, we can learn to use anger and wrath in such a way as well. Right? Where we can use these things as opportunities and invitations to learn to love one another better.”
53s
“But you wanna know what he had to do to get that to be accomplished? He had to pray and plead with God the Father to raise this dead boy up to life. But you wanna know how Jesus does it? Jesus will just kinda walk right up to a coffin and just go, come forth. And the dead people will just come back to life. Lazarus, come forth like his word has performative power. And so, what is this text telling us? It's telling us this, Elijah and Moses borrowed God's glory, and they're like some Michael Jordans of the Old Testament. But Jesus is greater. Jesus is the glory of God standing right there in front of them.”

#RedeemedToServe
“We were saved by grace through faith in order to get us back on track, in order to get us back into the good God design for which we were created. separated from the sin that entangles, now freed from the curse that subjugates. We're back about the business for which God created us in the first place. We are his masterpiece. We are his good, good, and very good. We are his co laborers. And we were created and we were redeemed for these good works to partner with him. He created you to build with him and to do what is impossible alone.”
51s
#ProvisionIsNotThePoint
“One of the greatest lies I encounter in pastoral ministry of the enemy is this distraction of provision. And that's not to say our provision is not important. It's to say that it's not the end game. It's neither in question. It's a matter of course. And if the enemy can keep us focused on that which God has already promised us, he keeps us from focusing on that which God has invited us to. If you were so inclined, that's a good place to say amen. Jesus said, it's not life more than food.”
40s
“But I remind you once again, when the sun is going down and you feel yourself beset, and you are in that dark place in the night, and you feel the flaming darts of the evil one coming upon you, all you need to do is call upon the name of Jesus. And whatever reality there is to these things, however psychological they are, whatever their actual status is, the truth holds that Christ has authority over all the spiritual forces of wickedness and shares that authority with us, and it is uncontestable.”
