Sermon Moments
“The quiver is called to protect. It is kept close and it is ever observing.”
“When an arrow gets bent, the warrior holds it over heat and flame, carefully reshaping it by hand so that it will fly true.”
“Lauren Bohn brought her parents, her first Sunday school teacher, her cheer coach, and her high school teacher on stage as a visual lineup of the mentors who poured into her life.”
“If you did not have spiritual support growing up, that does not disqualify you from standing in someone else's lineup; it should motivate you to push them toward Jesus.”
“Could we please do the hard work to heal the broken parts of our lives so we do not mentor the next generation through the lens of our own trauma?”
“How amazing would it be for a generation to inherit love, joy, peace, and self-control from us instead of our fear, anxiety, and habitual sin?”
“Your freedom is not just for you; it has a ripple effect that impacts generations and legacy to come.”
