Sermon Moments
“Since tomorrow isn't promised, why wait another 25 days to do the things you need to do to make your life better?”
“We have gotten so desensitized to prayer that we have forgotten how powerful of a gift it really is.”
“Stir up the gift. In other words, keep the fire fresh. That mean you got to preach when don't nobody say amen. That mean you got to serve when don't nobody tell you thank you.”
“God has not given us a spirit of fear. You are a spirit that God didn't place on me. So if God didn't place fear on you, where did it come from?”
“The enemy wants to keep you in fear because he wants to stop you from doing what God told you to do. And people want to keep you in fear because they want to keep you from doing what they scared to do.”
“Because the Bible says, 'Perfect love cast out all fear.' There's power in love.”
“The cord wasn't plugged up to the main source. And the reason why some of us can't move in discipline, it's not because you don't have it, it's because you ain't connected.”
