Sermon Moments
“"How you identify your cornerstone is if something was to be taken away from you... if you panic, that is revealing the faulty foundation."”
“"Every time someone gives their life to Jesus... they are now a living stone in the spiritual house that God is building."”
“"Jesus is like, 'Man, if I can restore Peter on that beach, I can restore you.'"”
“"Your value is placed upon what someone's willing to pay for you... God loved you so much, He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for your sin."”
“"Being a pastor... is a great calling, but it is a terrible god if I make my identity based upon what I do, and not who I am in Jesus."”
“"I am who I am because of who Jesus says I am. At the end of the day, if you can rest in that and Jesus is your cornerstone, your foundation will be secure."”
