Embracing God's Love and Purpose in Our Lives

1. "I want to encourage you with a thought today that you are normal. And, you know, I started this little thought a couple of weeks ago that, listen, you know, there are times it would seem easier to push your way when God's called you to push through. And I want you to understand today, and I want you to hear this loud and clear, that there's going to be times in your life, just like in everyone's life, no matter what face they put on, no matter what facade they hide behind, we all go through deep stuff."

2. "But here's the deal, man. I mean, truth is you're going to have the same problems, but whether you're a Christian or not, you're going to have the same problems. But whether you're a Christian or not, the cool thing is now that you are in Christ, I'm going to say in Christ, you get the promises of God. You experience the power of God and you get the people of God to go through it with. Come on, somebody. Amen. It's a big deal." [46:20] (25 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "A bazillion times when you're going to face seasons in life that you're like, man, this is bigger than me. You're right. But I remind you, nothing is bigger than God. Now, I've told you that a bazillion times. I get it. But I'm going to give you some biblical truth to that because I need you to understand something else. That not only is greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world, but you are, and if you're old school granite, you're one of a kind. You're one of a kind. You're one of a kind. You're one of a kind. You're one of a kind. You're one of a kind. God designed. And it's true." [47:17] (34 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4. "And so when life happens, you got to lean into the word of God and hear from the God of the word because we want to know what does the Bible say? Where does the Bible say? And what are you going to do? And so first Corinthians chapter 10 gives us a little insight on your normalcy. Because again, I don't want you to think that you're the only one going through it. Everybody goes through that. I hear it all the time, man. Well, I don't know anybody else who goes, everybody goes through stuff. Everybody."

5. "And this is why I tell you all the time, if you're granted, man, I tell you, you just don't need a prayer book. You need a praise book. Because we suffer from short -term memory, spiritual memory loss at times. All those times that I'm not going to get through this, and you did. I'm not going to be able to handle this, and you did."

And there's just something that wells up in." [01:13:27] (49 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
