#SeeOpportunity
“what what do many many people do? They did like those disciples did in this in this, the scriptures I just read you. The disciples, they they looked at the crowd and and and said, send them away. they they saw distance. They saw lateness. They saw lack of limitation. They they they seen a whole different thing than Jesus did. They didn't see the compassion. But what did Jesus see? Jesus saw opportunity. That's what we see. We see opportunity. I'm like, Jesus. I see opportunity in my church. There's opportunity there. Everybody else out there trying to reach, the traditionalist, they try to reach them. That's the opportunity. That's not a whole lot of opportunity there because they they they in their ways, and they gonna do what they do. But with the unchurched, there are opportunity there.”
61s
“``We wanna be obedient to the father. We want our children to be obedient to this. We gotta show them what the example is like by being obedient to Jesus. We as fathers and as men can go in front of our families and say, hey. I'm I'm I'm I'm talking to God. I'm praying to God. I'm listening to God. God has told me to do this. So just as I'm asking you to do this, son, that's what g God is telling me to do, to listen, to pray, to go to church, to give, to serve, to be unselfish, to be just, to be holy. He's not calling me to be perfect because I can't be. He's calling me to listen, to obey his commandments, to delight in his statutes, to behold him in everything that he is. That is what he's calling us to be.”
60s
“He sincerely was upset, and I was like, why are you upset? You should be thanking me for saving time. That was bad. I'm telling you. But that's what Paul is trying to say here. Paul's saying Paul's saying, guys, I hear your questions. I hear your concerns. I hear your thoughts. I hear you're you're scared. I hear you're worried about the church. I hear you, but have you tried love yet? Not only that, he's he's he's saying, the body of Christ is here. Everyone has talents. We need everybody. Have you tried love yet?”
49s
“You will see me no more, but I said I'm sorry. The world will see me no more, but you will see me because I live, you will live also. At that day, you will know that I am in my father and you and me and I and you. He who has my commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves me, and he who loves me will be loved by my father. Now listen what Jesus says. This is a promise. This is a promise. He says, and I will love him and manifest myself to him. So Jesus is saying, I will make it known that I am yours and you are mine. I will make it known. There's not a person here who belongs to Jesus who is walking, in these promises that does not know when Jesus is really near. Yeah.”
68s
“Folks, there's a sense that when you leave here this day, you're taking with you the name Second Baptist Church. So that when you go out there into our community, into our world, and you're tempted to say something you shouldn't say, to do something you shouldn't do, to say and do something with the wrong attitude or maybe driving down the wrong road with the wrong hand gesture. Okay. You're representing this church. And people can look upon you and say, if that's what Second Baptist Church teaches, I do not want to be part of that church. Not very Christ like. Folks, when we go out into this world, in this community, we're taking on the name Christ. We're taking on God's name as Christians. Do not do not take that name in vain by living out sin in this Christian life that we have. That's to profane God's name. We are his possession. We need to live like that.”
78s
“Paul's hope was never vague. It was not a floating somewhere out there kinda hope. His hope was rooted in the historical body resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because Jesus rose, everybody who trusts in him will rise too. And is what holds it all together. you look underneath Paul's composure, underneath the clear conscience, and you'll find none of them were ever standing on their own. All three, his composure, his bold confession, his clear conscience, all three rest on this one truth, the resurrection of the dead.”
76s
“I am not saying that love can only exist with inconvenience. I'm not saying that. Job had no inconvenience, and he loved the lord. But Satan did use that as an argument. Of course, he loves you. He has no inconvenience. Bring some inconvenience in his life, and he'll stop loving you. I am not saying that love cannot exist with without inconvenience. I am saying this. If you cannot be inconvenienced by the person you say you love, you don't love them very much. Our vows to the person is this over and over. I will continue inconvenience or inconvenience. Inconvenience or inconvenience. Oh, in financial convenience or financial inconvenience, rich or poor. In medical convenience or medical inconvenience, health or sick, in chronological convenience or chronological inconvenience, whether I married you for five years or fifty five years. Over and over, we look at the person and say, my love will not stop because of inconvenience. Because love doesn't stop in inconvenience.”
52s
“I I I've been living by a a statement right now that's like, I wanna be caught, not taught. I I know it's kinda weird, but it's just stuck with me. Like, I I wanna be caught praying. want my kids to catch me praying. You know, sometimes you're worried like, oh, oh, we've gotta, like, hide out here. We got oh, I I don't wanna be caught doing this. No. I wanna be caught. I wanna be caught praying. I wanna be caught reading the bible. I wanna be caught serving somebody else and and and putting myself aside. I want my kids to catch me just treating my spouse with love and affection and servant mentality. Like, I want my kids to catch me. I don't wanna just teach them. I want them to catch me. I want them I wanna be caught, not just taught.”
34s
“Look at the text. Jesus does not do this. He does not say the person with a bigger umbrella doesn't get the same storm. In fact, he gives both people, the wise piggy and the foolish piggy, the same storm, the same rain, the same floods, the same wind, everything. Same rain, same flood, same wind. The wise builder does not get a better forecast. They get the identical hurricane the fool did.”
40s
“When I was in the marines, we had to take we had to be able to take apart and put back together our m 16 rifles blindfolded. I mean, absolutely blindfolded. And you had to do it in, like, sixty seconds. I mean or maybe it was two minutes. A minute to take it apart. It'd been a long time. They want us to know our weapon that good because it could save our lives. God wants you to know the word of God that good and believe and put your faith in it because it will save your lives. Amen?”
