Sermon Moments
“Once they saw His power, they had to respect His name. You can choose to respect His name now or respect His name later, because every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”
“Every name of God is an invitation to know Him, because His names reveal His nature and His character.”
“If you have a need, God has a name.”
“God did not speak before Moses noticed; God only spoke from the bush when he noticed. Sometimes God won't speak until He has your attention.”
“The greatest spiritual discipline is not trying to get God to speak louder; it is getting the noise and distractions out of your life so you can notice the bush burning.”
“When God's presence shows up, ordinary places become holy places.”
“Your God has four levels of care: He sees what you're going through, He hears your cries, He knows your true condition, and He comes down to meet you where you are.”
