11:00AM Sunday Service. God is Faithful when life is painful

Jesus in this moment said, you don't need prayer. You don't need a conversation about tithing. You don't need another sermon. You just need to sit down and eat. Come on. And as church, dear brothers and sisters, we gotta give people food sometimes. on. We we're, hopefully, this comes across the right way. We're giving them food for their soul.

Come on. Because why? Sometimes when you touch stuff, you mess things up. Come on. And dear brothers and sisters, in the community of faith, too many times we have Christians who are touching stuff that God never meant for them to touch. And God is sitting there saying, if you just let me grill, if you just let me cook, I'll make sure it get done at the right time and the right temperature. Let him cook. Let God do his thing. He know what he doing, and if he steps away, he steps away for a reason. [00:11:10] (37 seconds)  #LetGodCook

Y'all missed that. If you add some lighter fluid, it would ensure that it watch this, burns instantly and burns longer. Y'all better catch me. And watch this, sometimes God gotta add the lighter fluid aka the holy spirit to your life. Y'all ain't ready. So that you can butt light instantly and go longer. So the lighter fluid, dear brothers and sisters, allows you to catch fire quickly. This make sense? So God, dear brothers and sisters, is faithful because he's going to keep bringing fire into your life. [00:17:48] (43 seconds)  #HolySpiritIgnites

When Jesus passed, something happened, dear brothers and sisters, that happens to a lot of us. When life happens, the disciples stopped dreaming. Let me say that again. When life happened to the disciples, they stopped dreaming. And for many of us, life has happened to us, and we have stopped dreaming. They sat there and say, hey, what's the use? [00:24:23] (46 seconds)  #DontStopDreaming

Come on. Y'all would look at people crazy if you went to their barbecue and they didn't have food. And it made me think that too often people come to church but ain't got no food. We shop before it's hungry. We shout before it's can't pay their bills. We shout before it ain't got no gas in the car. Come on. And it made me realize that in this moment that Jesus is teaching us, we're not just concerned about you spiritually, but we're also concerned about you naturally.

You might bring quote unquote 10%, you might bring 5%, but that's all you bring. Y'all missed that. You're only bringing for many of us the max of 10%, but God gives you 90%. He woke you up, he gave you breath, he gave you your limbs, and he's sitting there saying, I'm doing more for you than you're doing for me. And god is sitting there saying, in order to keep the fire going, listen, we gotta spend some time together. [00:21:29] (37 seconds)  #GodGivesMore

And as Christians, dear brothers and sisters, you can sit there and say, yep, and y'all probably tired of me saying this, but you can try to burn by yourself, but you're only gonna burn so long. Come on. So he has to keep giving you near fire, and then oh, thank you, Jesus. Most of the time, dear brothers and sisters, for those of us that are old school, you said it earlier, pastor, sometimes they put wood in. Come on. [00:17:02] (39 seconds)  #YouCantBurnAlone

What they started to do is they started to revert back to their old ways. When life starts lifing, are you going forward? Are you standing still? Or are you going backwards? And they said, hey, we are going to go back to doing the stuff that we used to do aka fishing. Come on. Yes. The flame died out. So they sit there and say, hey, you know what? We're just gonna go fishing. [00:25:18] (39 seconds)  #ForwardNotBackwards
