Sermon Moments
“Faith is a spiritual muscle that you have to exercise, and when you don't use it, it atrophies.”
“Some of us are trying to obtain the promises and the blessings of God off muscle memory.”
“Faith is a container. God doesn't give us the container; He just responds to what we give Him to pour in.”
“If your faith requires you touching me, then you got to touch me to get it... but if you got that kind of crazy faith, just send your word.”
“Do not add something that God did not add as a requirement for people to experience His best.”
