Grace | Santa Maria

Be a rebel and rest.

It is finished, so go out and irritate someone. It is finished, so go out and hug someone. It is finished, so go out and have a party.

That feeling of desperation- it's the sweet spot.

God loves to give good gifts to His kids!

We exist to ignite a passion in every person to glorify and enjoy God everywhere and in everything.

...but you can still worship.

Our sins move Jesus to pity, so let's party!

Get in the habit of saying, "But at Your word..."

If you (like Jesus) know that you can't do life on your own, then prayer makes complete sense.

1) TELL GOD HOW YOU FEEL. 2) TELL GOD WHERE YOU HURT. 3) TELL GOD WHAT YOU WANT.

YOU were the joy that was set before Jesus as He endured suffering and rejection.

It is written, "It is finished."

God works in mysteriously mysterious ways.

“You are my beloved son + daughter; with you I am well pleased."

The lowest place is the safest place because grace always flows downhill.

God always meets 1) our mess with HIs mercy, 2) our failures with His forgiveness, 3) our guilt with His grace, and 4) our sin with His salvation.

There should be no safer place for wounded persons than the church.

Jesus got straight A's for you!

Worship while you wait.

In 2026, let's hum, sing, shout, declare, and ponder the Gospel over and over and over.

Cheer up! God's not mad at you!

God really, really, really, really, really cares about you...big time!

Rest in the favor of your Savior.

God is working behind the scenes, even when He can't be seen.

Bedazzle me, Jesus.

Live in awe of God before you are before God.

1. God is always doing 10,000 things in your life. 2. You always have 10,000 things that you can enjoy in your life.

Don't be an idiot. Get wisdom.

You're gonna die, so live it up!

Discipleship is a lot of trusting Jesus now and understanding Him later.

Above all else, guard your heart.

Death is your frenemy.

Enjoy the life you have, not the one you hope for.

Go to church and say "Thank you" and just shut up.

His mercies are new every mourning.

We is better than me.

Trust that 1) God is good and 2) one day He will make everything sad and bad come untrue.

Don't make today eternity.

Rest in (don't wrestle with) Jesus.

We exist to ignite a passion in every person to glorify and enjoy God everywhere and in everything.

We exist to ignite a passion in every person to glorify and enjoy God everywhere and in everything.

Life in God's world is gift, not gain.

People won't remember you (but God will never forget you).

Life is a breath, and then death. (P.S. Try to enjoy it!)

How to Pray (i.e. How to keep from going crazy): 1. Tell God about your problems. 2. Talk to God about His power. 3. Worship God.

Jesus poured His heart out to God, so He could pour His blood out for you.

Jesus experienced the never-stopping, never giving up, unbreaking, always and forever temptations of Satan...and He never gave in.

Marvel at Jesus. Keep studying your Bible. Think deeply. Ask questions. Be okay with mystery. And then marvel at Jesus some more.

Run to Jesus with your broken + wounded + suffering + depressed + guilty + ashamed + fill in the blank heart.

God comes to us and becomes like one of us so that people like us can come to Him and become like Him (Btw, that should give you goosebumps!).
