Week 2 - Is All of This True? 03/15/2026

if you're are y'all listening to me? If you're listening, if you are not in Christ Jesus, you have not been justified. And if you have not been justified, you're still guilty of transgression, sin, and trespasses. That means you're going to have to stand before the judge. Either unjustified or justified. And the only thing that makes the difference is what you've done with the cross of Calvary. And the man that hung on it. Hallelujah. [01:20:39] (34 seconds)  #JustifiedInChrist

Watch this. The cross is not merely about forgiveness. It's about revelation. It reveals what god is like. He loves you so much and he loves me so much that he pinned every built bit of our guilt and our shame. Watch this. He lit when we went and we confessed him as our savior. He lifted everything of our guilt and our shame off of us and placed it on Christ and Christ pinned it to the cross to defeat it once and for all. Amen. Yeah.

The infinite entered into the finite. The eternal enters into time. The creator enters into creation and not as a conquering king, but as a suffering servant. This radically reshapes how we understand power. Most power structures operate from domination demanding and requiring, but the cross but the cross reveals power through sacrifice. [01:28:30] (45 seconds)  #PowerThroughSacrifice

But Christianity claims something entirely different. Christianity claims this. It claims that the cross was not an accident. It claims that it was the plan from the very beginning. The cross was the plan from the very beginning. It was not a second thought of god. It was not a third thought of god. Let me go further. It wasn't a twentieth thought of God. Come on, man. Stay with me. But it was the only plan God had. [00:51:23] (31 seconds)  #CrossWasThePlan

So if god's willing to go to to the cross for you, you know what it says? Let's put it in practical application that you're not insignificant. You might not be all that in a bag of chips. You might not be the best looking fry in the happy meal, But in god's eyes, you're not insignificant at all. You're important to him today. He loves you and he died for you. It also means that you're not forgotten. He knows right where you are. And that your story is not over. [01:30:35] (50 seconds)  #YouAreSignificantToGod

God has been so good to me that I almost feel like he's broken his rules because I should have to pay for some of the things that I've done. Yeah. Can I help you with something today? The cross is not only about the forgiveness of your sins for the salvation of your soul. It is for the restoration of what god wants to do to redeem things back into your life. That's why it's called grace. Hallelujah. [01:15:31] (33 seconds)  #GraceRestores

Because in grace, he gives us what we don't deserve. In mercy, he doesn't give us what he deserves, and the cross is what makes those two come together. Mercy and grace were were equalized at the Cross Of Calvary. [01:16:04] (18 seconds)  #GraceMeetsMercy

And the reason Jesus said turn the other cheek was not so much to be a doormat. That's what we thought of this text all along. It's not that you're a doormat. He never wrote it that we would be a doormat. That's not humility. Humility is still strong. It's still a church that can be humble but yet be secure in who it is. I pray I'm humble but there's some things I will not allow. I don't care how hard you push me. [00:55:30] (29 seconds)  #HumilityIsStrength
