1) "True happiness comes from Jesus. True peace comes from him. Can't nobody outdo Jesus when it comes to peace or happiness... You would develop an intimate and personal relationship with God... But an intimate personal relationship with God says, I need him in the morning. I need him at noonday. I need him at night. I need him in my car. I need him every step of the way. I just can't live without him." [11:54](Download clip | Download cropped clip | )

2) "Life has a way of making you distracted. But I've got to keep my eyes on the destined shore. I've got to keep my eyes on the prize. I've got to keep my eyes on Jesus because there is a blessing in keeping your eyes on Jesus... Eternal life... Don't let your faith waver. Keep your eyes on him. But here's the last thing I want to tell you before I take my seat. He won't let you down." [24:46](Download clip | Download cropped clip | Download captioned clip)

3) "When trouble comes upon us. How often we are like Peter. We look upon the ways... Our footsteps slide... Jesus did not bid Peter to come to him. That he should perish. He does not call us to follow him. And then forsake us... Stay focused. When life gets hard. Stay focused. When times of trouble have come. Stay focused."

4) "God is a God of benefits... There are benefits when you serve God... But as a child of God, he also gives us some benefits... And here is the prerequisite of getting the benefits of God. Here it is that you and I must keep our eyes locked in on Jesus. Stay focused." [09:20](Download clip | Download cropped clip | )

5) "Don't allow your faith to waver. The Bible says, faith is the substance of things hoped for... The disciples had faith in Jesus. But sometimes they doubted Jesus... Don't let your faith waver... And if you don't stay locked into Jesus, that stuff will keep your mind distracted. And your faith will waver." [20:44]( | | )

6) "In the midst of it, a storm came... Life can be fine for a moment. But out of nowhere, a storm comes... God allowed storms to happen to test your faith. It's not always the devil's fault... Could it be it was God? God trying to get your attention?" [16:09]( | | )

7) "Even in the midst of turmoil and shame and problems, don't take your eyes off Jesus... Because when you take your eyes off Jesus, you'll be just like Peter. You'll start sinking. I'm so glad to hear a writer say, I was sinking deep in sin... But the master... Heard my despair and cry. And from the waters, he lifted me and saved." [18:22]( | | )
