Sermon Moments
“We treat God like a spare tire; we only pull Him out when life goes flat, and then when we get rolling again, we put Him right back in the trunk.”
“When you're born, you look like your parents; when you die, you look like your decisions.”
“Judicial forgiveness is justification in Heaven's courtroom, but relational forgiveness is required daily so we can go all the way to the bed and relate to our Father.”
“Dirty feet don't take away that you're my child; it just takes away how close my child can get to the Father.”
“How are you so into getting paid when you're in debt?”
“Some of us are in a relationship right now that we know is stone—it's breaking our whole jaw trying to eat it.”
“Temptation in Matthew 6:13 comes from peirasmos, a neutral word for a time of testing where we ask God for strength to live right and stay steadfast.”
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added unto you—stop focusing on the things and start focusing on the King.”
