#GenerosityMatters
“But Paul says those who are rich in this world, which I think includes all of us because if you look if you look around the world, I think every single one of us, most of us, if not all of us in this room should feel blessed and rich in this present world. And that doesn't mean that we should feel guilty for what we have compared to the rest of the world. What it means is we should feel responsible with what we have. What Paul is saying to Timothy here is, rich people need to be good at being rich. People who are blessed need to be good at being a blessing. Rich people need to be good at good deeds, and rich people need to be good at generosity.”

“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.”

“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.”

#BeyondYourComfortZone
“Now we tend to think of perfect here as like morally perfect, theologically perfect, not sinning. You you fill in your blank of what perfection looks like to you. But he says, Jesus says, I want you to be perfect, to which you and I should respond. Perfection for me is impossible. Jesus was the only perfect human being, but he challenges us to be perfect. You are correct. It's impossible for us to be perfect. But in the context of this verse, again, not morally, not theologically, not ethically, in the context of these verses, being perfect like your heavenly father is perfect means getting outside of your comfort zone for the sake of other people.”

#ChurchBoundByLove
“Coming to agreement over solutions to the world's problems, coming to agreement over this... Over solutions to the church's problems, coming to agreement, to problems in the world, over solutions to problems in the world is not what binds the church. I'm just gonna say it again because I think this is important. Coming to agreement over solutions to the problems in the world is not the thing that binds the church. We don't have to fully agree to be bound to one another in love. The thing that binds the church according to Jesus is love.”

#FaithShownThroughLove
“I believe Jesus was very clear. The devotion to God, if you wanna be devoted to God, if you wanna demonstrate your devotion to God, it's best demonstrated. It's not only demonstrated. This is not the only way it's demonstrated and authenticated, but it is best demonstrated and authenticated through your love for other people. And that includes people that you may disagree with, that aren't like you, that you may not even like, or they may not like you back. But our our our devotion to God is best demonstrated not through attendance, not through prayers, not through believing the right things. All that stuff is great stuff, but it's best demonstrated and authenticated through our love for other people.”

#JesusAbovePolitics
“And that tension is that sitting in this room every single Sunday, there are differing views. There are differing theologies, there are differing worldviews, and that actually is an advantage to us. Because if we will allow it to, our differences can highlight the commitment that we have to something that is bigger than politics and bigger than issues and bigger than our disagreements and that something is not a a something, it's a someone, it's Jesus. Our differences can highlight our commitment to Jesus over everything else. In fact, I'll say it this way.”
