Sermon Moments
“Relationships move at the speed of trust; whenever trust is low, advancement is slow.”
“Whatever we fear the most, we trust the least. Trust issues is the fruit; fear is the root.”
“Trust says take the next step; trauma says remember what happened the last time.”
“Stubbornness is to worship your own opinion, turning your personal perspective into an idol instead of practicing full obedience.”
“It is one thing to be saved, but it is another level entirely to be led by Jesus as your Shepherd.”
“Wherever there is a human need, God reveals a specific name—when you need your stubborn flesh subdued, He is Jehovah Rohi.”
“Quietness is external, but stillness is internal; God leads us to still waters so we can see a clear reflection of who we are.”
“You do not have to try to get revenge; simply sit and eat at the table God has prepared for you in the presence of your enemies.”
