Sermon Moments
“Disney World might declare it is the most magical place on earth, but there is no house like God's house—built on a rock, life-changing, and mind-regulating.”
“Out there I was focused on my struggles, but when I came into the sanctuary, the Holy Ghost shifted my concentration back to a God who is able to solve all my problems.”
“Trying to make sense of someone else's foolishness on your own only leaves you confused; clarity comes when you get reconnected in God's house.”
“There is nothing worse than having a disconnection notice with God, but coming into the house restores your connection through prayer, worship, and the Word.”
“When you get around the saints, somebody knows what you've been through—if you're looking for a miracle, just look at another believer.”
“An 'almost' testimony means defeat didn't happen because the Lord caught you right before you fell.”
“Life got the best of me and I almost lost my mind, but almost doesn't count because God held me close so I wouldn't let go.”
“God will let the enemy push you, but He will never let them knock you down.”
