1. "You know, and it's awesome because, you know, growing up in the faith, we talk about living a victorious life with Jesus. Yeah. Here's a secret. One victory does not equal a victorious life. Living victoriously, it requires that Jesus and I face battle after battle where he proves that he's the resurrection and the life again and again and again. It's his faithfulness. That's good. And our continued encounters with his resurrection power that make a victorious life and that make us into the dispensers of Jesus's words of life."

2. "Before we receive our miracle in the natural, we have to receive it by faith. To receive the promise of life, our faith has to overcome our fear. Some of you today watching or here, you're wanting Jesus to speak life into some moment, into some thing, into your situation. You're wanting that, but let me tell you, you've got to receive it by faith first. And the challenge you're facing is that right now, the dominant thing for you is fear. But will we let, it doesn't take a lot, Jesus said just a mustard seed, but will we allow our faith to overcome our fear? Will we?" [16:04] (59 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
3. "When we talk about the things Jesus is doing or has done in our life, we speak words of life. When we speak of the goodness of God, we declare the resurrection. That's right. I think I may need to say that again. When we talk about the things that Jesus has done for us, we speak words of life. When we declare the goodness of God, we declare the resurrection."

4. "Guys, we have to understand that we are dispensers of Jesus' words of life. We are dispensers of life. Now, look at this. Jesus has not. Let me say it really strongly. He has not strictly charged us not to tell people what he's done. As a matter of fact, he kind of says the opposite, because when you get over in Revelations chapter 12, it says that they overcame the enemy by the blood, the blood of the lamb. and the word of their testimony. That, oh, I talked about the good thing God did. And they defeated them. So when we rehearse the goodness of God by telling people our faith is strengthened, that kind of gets our heart and our faith ready for the time that fear comes when we need to overcome. But when we rehearse the goodness of God by telling other people, we share the resurrection with them." [24:06] (75 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
5. "When we share our testimony of God's goodness, we dispense Jesus' words of life. Now, let's be honest. We want people to know about our problems. We want people to know about our heartaches. It's true. Misery loves company. It's true. Our society thrives on negativity. Just turn on the news. There's war in Israel. There's war in Ukraine. The dog worker strike might be over, but it's just temporary. We don't know what's going to happen in January. Everybody should be worried about the economy. Oh, you know. I mean, hurricane damage. Even the presidential race, they don't talk about what's going right. They only talk about what's going wrong." [27:52] (53 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
6. "Solomon, the wisest man to ever live, he knew how important it was for us to share the good things that God does, because he wrote that good news refreshes the bones. It refreshes the bones. We're going to read this week in Philippians 4, where it's going to say, that whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, if there's any excellence, if there's any worthy of praise, thank you. Think on these things. Think on these things. Do you need refreshed? Are you discouraged? Are you down? Think on the goodness of God. Rehearse the good thing that God has done."

7. "Some of you, you have addiction or abuse in your history. Let me tell you, those things don't define you. They aren't who you are. They aren't who Jesus made you to be. And they aren't the whole story. Right? See, I was in that moment. I was able to, allow my faith to overcome my fear of being a failure as a pastor. But it happened when I rehearsed the goodness of God. When the testimony of his goodness renewed me and was renewed in me. You know, the devil wants us to focus on the negative because that's, you know, he knows that the testimony of, that our testimony carries resurrection life. He wants us to be distracted from the truth that we're the dispensers of Jesus's words of life." [31:47] (62 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
