When In Romans | Week 24 | Gospel Centered Unity | Pastor Jonathan Cavalieri
Notable Quotes:
“God is looking for a people who are not going to treat him as his plan A. They’re not going to treat him as their plan B. They’re going to say, God, you are my first and my only priority. If you don’t move, I don’t move. If you don’t show up, nothing gets done.”
“God’s spirit will not abide meaning stay and remain and be present in a church that’s filled with carnality. What is carnality? The Bible defines it. Living by the flesh or living by the sin. It’s gossip, it’s bitterness, it’s envy, it’s strife, it’s sexual immorality. It’s living a life life full of anger. This will cause the anointing of God to lift from his people.”
“Biblical honor goes far beyond just being polite to somebody. It’s saying, I see you with the eyes of heaven. I see you with the eyes of heaven. I see the value in you. I see God’s heart for you. He cares for you. He loves you. He has a plan for you. And I choose to honor you.”
