Sermon Highlights

If Jesus came up and asked us what we want, our answer needs to be WE WANT YOU.

If Jesus didn’t reject you then, He won’t reject you now.

You won’t become like Jesus if you don’t like Jesus.

God transforms our hearts so that we can love Him and walk according to His ways.

God sanctifies, trains, redeems, and purifies, so that we can be blameless when we stand before Him.

It takes God to love God.

When you pray, “God help me love you more,” He’s up in heaven saying, I’m already doing it.

The church is not only the bride of Christ, but it is also the BODY of Christ.

When God said IT IS FINISHED, it didn’t mean that HE IS FINISHED moving and working in our lives.
