Sermon Moments
“Every necessary ending is an invitation to a beautiful new beginning.”
“Consecration precedes elevation. If you want to see God promote you, it's going to start with surrender.”
“A divided world needs a United Church so we're going to lift each other's hands... A world that speaks death needs a church that speaks life.”
“Real circumcision is circumcision of the heart—a change produced by the Spirit that seeks praise from God, not people.”
“The higher the rocket starts to go, the less you can take with you; not everybody's going to make the cut.”
“We talk about the promised land, but we don't talk about the pain before the promised land or the sacrifice it takes to possess what God called you to possess.”
“Sometimes we don't have a necessary ending because we're so attached to what was that we have no confidence in what can be.”
“Today I have rolled away the shame... You're not a slave, you're a son, you're a daughter, you're a free person.”
