"You can waste what God is trying to do in your life, because you're so often looking to escape whatever situation you find yourself in, when perhaps God is wanting to do something marvelous in your life just like He's about to do in the blind man's life."

"Setting your mind on the things of God, that allows the things of God to be what controls our bodies. Therefore we employ in our life and in our lifestyles a set of practices, and disciplines, and habits to set our mind in the Spirit and not on the flesh."

"So what is a man after God's own heart? It's ultimately this good king, with a good heart, a heart that admits when he's wrong, a heart that admits he's a sinner, a heart that runs to God for salvation, and seeks forgiveness from the person of God."

 

 

"What's hope for me? What's the good news? What can I do about that? Well, essentially we can do nothing apart from Christ, for sin in our life is that radiation that will bring death. Yet what's so beautiful about the gospel and the Good News is that sin does not have the final word."

"There will we hardships and pain, and situations that seem unbearable. But God has given us a new king to look forward to. I cannot promise that you will always receive justice for the wrong that has been done to you, on this earth, now, I pray for that, I hope for that. But we can promise that all things will be made right, that one day He will return, and there's a different King who will wipe away every tear."

 

We see the stone rolled away, we see an angel sent to tell of the good news, we see the empty tomb, and we see our Resurrected Lord Jesus!

Pastor Jordan explains the events surrounding the triumphal entry. If you were there, what would you hear? I hear a blind man crying out, I hear a Messiah calling out, I hear a donkey braying, I hear crowds shouting, I hear tables flipping, I hear scribes scoffing.

Pastor Jordan highlights King David's Prayer of thanksgiving in 2 Samuel 7-8.  David praises God for the undeserving gift of being a part of the Kingdom that will reign forever. We have seen this come to pass because Jesus would come from David's descendants.

Pastor Jordan warns us that "Spiritualism gives you what you want, right now without any sacrifice or repentance." "Spiritualism gives you self sovereignty, self empowerment, and self answers without the sovereignty of God, or God's power at all. You don't have to humble yourself before a Holy God, you don't have to repent of your sins and be willing to pick up your cross and follow Jesus with your life. None of that, you can just get your spiritual fix". "Just choosing the spiritual feely things of life and avoiding the Holy spirit who is a person of the Trinity, not just a force that we can use at our will".
