#ServeNextGen
“We're serving this community with people that are busy, not people who have time. We're serving it with people who make time. So maybe it's time for you and your church to make time, to do for the next generation what perhaps, was fortunately done for you if you got to grow up in a church that instilled those that the purpose and and informed your conscience and gave you a worldview and taught you to be generous like I talked about earlier in this message, this is your opportunity to do for the next generation what was done for you if you got to experience that. And if you wish you had gotten to experience that, this is your opportunity to do that for the next person down the road because there are people and and I just I wanna take just a moment”

“And drifting is dangerous because it feels calm. You don't have to do anything to drift. You just jump in and just let the stream take you wherever you wanna go. To stay connected with God, it takes intention. Jesus said, I am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit for without me, you can do nothing. But the hard heart stops abiding even if it maintains an appearance of connection, even it keeps keeps the language and the routines. You know before the Lord where your heart is. So be careful about this unbelief. The question is not, do I believe in Jesus, but do you believe Jesus enough to obey him, submit to him, surrender to him?”
38s
“And not just the earthly possessions, but you you gain the career that you truly desire away from god. There's nothing wrong with working hard and earning money, having a good retirement. There's something wrong when it's despite God. When you leave God out of it. No. I'm I'm not gonna take that time off of work to do what God wants me to do because I have keep pressing on. There's nothing wrong with wanting your kids to be successful, have a great career, make lots of money. There's something wrong with it if God wants them to do something else.”
43s
“And the reality that Pentecostal charismatic Christians remind us of is there is another world outside of the world that we perceive with our five physical senses. This world of heaven is here and present, and the Holy Spirit is being poured out upon the earth and is at work. And we need the power, the presence, the work of the holy spirit. I think we need it even more today. We need it because I see so many Christians wearing themselves trying to follow Jesus in their own strength and their own power.”
40s
“I think the most shocking thing is that your god wants to live in you. No other religions like that. No other religion, you're climbing your way to God. You gotta find your way. You gotta figure it out. You gotta be enlightened. You gotta do enough. But our God says, I'm gonna make a way where there was no way. I'm gonna be your way. I'm gonna be the truth. I'm gonna be the life. You you take hold of me. You be in me and I'll take you there. I'm the vessel to get you where you need to go. He loved us too much to let us stay broken. Right? That's what he's saying, but God.”
63s
“One of the greatest encouragements in Hannah's story is that God saw her long before others understood her. Pananiah understood misunderstood her. Eli initially misjudged her, yet the Lord listened carefully to every prayer she poured out before him as it says in Psalm 34. K. We can stand. Sorry. That was a little bit of an abrupt ending. Thank you, Lord. Barrenness often makes people feel forgotten, overlooked, or abandoned. Yet Hannah's story reminds us that heaven play pays close attention to hidden tears. Heaven pays close attention to quiet prayers. Heaven pays close attention to the sighing and the groaning and the language of pain.”

#ImagineNoChurch
“Maybe because of of something that has happened to you personally or maybe something that happened to somebody that you know, you struggle a little bit with church, maybe some of you kind of think, you know, I don't think it would be that, that crazy of a deal, the worst thing if the church were to kind of disappear. Some of you might wish that it wasn't around, but can I just tell you, you may not like the end result if that were to actually be true? You may not like the end result if current were to cease existing, you may not like the end result if if the church itself were to no longer exist. Do you know why? Because there's a lot of things that the church does that are incredible.”

#OutwardFacingChurch
“And so for the sake of this generation in Saint Joe and the surrounding area and for the sake of the next generation, I'm telling you the church has got to be healthy and the church has got to be outward facing. We have to be thinking about those that are outside of our walls and we have to be authentic and we have to be real to be carrying Jesus. And so that's the goal of our church to be an outward facing, thinking about other people, changing the culture, changing the world kind of church. That's the goal of current and that is not easy. And I'll tell you why that's not easy”

#YouAreTheChurch
“``Most Christians will believe certain things, but not actually follow Jesus with their life. So here's the challenge for all of us today. If you consider yourself a Christian, don't be most Christians. Don't be most Christians. You know better. So be better. Live your life with more purpose. And here's why. Do you know why? Here's why. Because you are the church. If you consider yourself a follower of Jesus, if you consider yourself a Christian,”

#GiveFirst
“The church taught me and I I've tried to, and we've talked about this, we've we've taught, in past messages about this, but the church taught me to give first, to give first, to save second and then to live on what was on what was left. That was what the That was something the church taught me personally And so at no point in my life have I ever tried to live on 100 of my income, never. I've never even thought about trying to live on 100% of my income because again,”
