#SeekAndBeRewarded
“And he said, he is a rewarder. Look, look, the the only thing god requires of you is for you to diligently seek him. That is all he requires of you to reward you is for you to diligently seek him out. That is what he required because I'll be honest. When you start diligently seeking out god, you you, your desires, your nature, your your your character starts to change and as those things start to change, you have a god's gonna reward you because of how much you just chose to seek him out.”

#AltarOfSacrifice
“So the first thing that Noah does is he builds an altar. He builds a structure that he puts a sacrifice on, and he sacrifices some of every clean animal. So this means doves. It means lambs and goats, all the animals that they're able to eat. So this is a a nod towards the coming ceremonial law, the Levitical law, that there are some animals that they could eat and some that they couldn't, some that were clean and able to be used for for for for sacrifice and for eating, but others were not able to be do to to be used in those ways. And so, these animals are more precious in many ways than the others. And what Noah does is he takes some of each kind and sacrifices it to the lord. Now, I've read this my whole life. I haven't really thought about it a whole lot or what the significance of this is. But, basically, if you're tracking with me, Noah decides to take some of the only remaining animals on the planet and kill them, and then burn them, not even eat them, and give them to the lord.”

#WordMadeFlesh
“But when I think about the voice of god I don't think the voice of god could be any louder than what he said in the person of Jesus. I really don't. I think when Jesus left heaven and Jesus came to Earth, for John says it this way, that the word, the word of god became flesh and dwelt among us. The word of god became flesh. If you wanna know what the voice of god sounds like, look at what Jesus did for you. Jesus left heaven and came to Earth, lived a life you could never live, restored a relationship that you could never restore, unlocked deaf ears, opened blind eyes, replaced hearts of stone with hearts of flesh. Jesus is the voice of god telling us that there's hope for our hearing. Yes. Yes. Amen. There's hope for my hearing.”

“There is no greater gift. No gold, no silver, nothing you can give will last them longer or care for them more than Jesus of Nazareth. So may all our lives be impacted in such a way that we go out and spread his love with others. But I tell you the same thing. You can't give what you aren't full already of. So whatever it takes for your heart to be full to overflowing with the power and the love of Christ, make sure you attend to those things. So now may we go from this place knowing that our call to be an extraordinary supernatural body of Christ is that we, as ordinary people, will take the love of God, the forgiveness of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit with us. Amen.”
48s
“Not only are we given each of us unique gifts and passions that God intends for us for both our enjoyment and to find meaning and fulfillment in life, But then the holy spirit also uses those different gifts and callings as part of god's grand symphony of creation. For we know that god has a plan for each of us to help tell God's story of love and redemption in this world, even though none of us really know exactly what God's plan for our life will be from start to finish. All we know is that we're on this journey with God, and the final destination is out of this world.”
33s
“) "We can live the best life even if we don't have an abundance. We can live the best life even if we have nothing. Because our life is not found in being rich in all these things, but our life is found in being rich towards God. And if that's been a temptation for you, if that's been a struggle for you to identify with having so many things and feeling like this is what gives me life, that's okay because there's an opportunity tonight for you to have a conversation with the Lord and for you to admit, Lord, I have put my possessions above you."”
47s
“"Listen, you got to tell somebody. And it's never safer than right here. All right. Amen. Thank you for choosing to trust God. Guys, we're not done yet. We're going to have this moment of response. I know that you've got stuff in your heart that you need to bring to the Lord. So you can do that in your seat. You can come up and pray. We ask for prayer. We've got faithful men and women that love to walk with you. But don't leave thirsty. Come and give it to Jesus. God, every heart here is yours. We want you. We want your love. We are for you because you are for us. We say, God, it's all yours. We come to the altar."”
52s
#WordAloneHeals
“You see, god's word doesn't need a location. Amen. God's word doesn't need a ritual. God's word doesn't need a ceremony. God's word don't even need us. Amen. know, we like to physically touch people and pray over em and that kind of thing but god's word don't even need that. God's word can heal any place that that that it is needed. The word itself, the word of Jesus was enough. It didn't take for him to come to his house. It didn't take for him to lay his hand on the servant. It didn't take anything of such. He just believed.”
46s
#FaithToAct
“``You see, his word is enough. The authority is in him. Right? The authority is his, but the faith to act on the authority must be yours. I wanna be somebody that can have the faith of the centurion, that can pray and watch God move, and that enough left over that if my friend don't have enough faith, that I have enough faith for my friend. That's the kind of people we need to desire to be. That's the kind of friends that we need to be we need to be.”
40s
#FaithUnderAuthority
“So we need to understand that real faith yields to God's authority. Real faith would yield to god's authority. Real faith is not just something that is there. Real faith is not just something that just that that something that that is given to you but real faith is where you realize that god has all authority and you submit yourself to him regardless of what he asked you to do. So, before we can stand with god's authority, we must submit under god's authority. Too many people tries to stand with god's authority and haven't submitted to god.”

Spartanburg’s “Hub City” history—textile mill villages, rail lines, and a deep African American church heritage—cultivates congregations that value both tradition and transformation. From choir-rich Sundays to verse-by-verse preaching and neighborhood renewal efforts in districts like Hampton Heights and the Northside, you’ll find a blend of reverence and action, with gospel choir and traditional hymns, expository Bible teaching, and racial reconciliation and unity efforts.
