They can look at the scripture of Sarah, and every time you come into Starbucks for some reason you're joyful, you're generous, you're encouraged and you left me the same amount of tip that it costs for your coffee? She different. When people talk about generosity, they don't have to go to a scripture in Malachi. Today I'm challenging you to go beyond where you have been and allow God to start putting seeds on your heart and in your life so will make you the living word. And the truth of the matter is if you were the only word that people saw, they would not fall in love with Jesus. See, I need you to be the Bible that people read. Not something that all of us have to be like yeah, and in 2 Corinthians it says, they should be able to look at first Michael 2. The goal of this is to become a living word. You're going to talk about it when you see what God has done. I wanted to live it so that then people can talk about it. I decided I didn't want to talk about living a life for God. And this is why people are like yeah, y'all are hypocrites. No actual track record of doing it themselves. A bunch of telling people what she should be doing. Like that's what most of the church looks like. The old school would say they got a lot of bark but no bite. ![]() Have you ever met somebody who acts hard but they soft as medicated cotton? You know what I'm saying? They got big talk. I was going to everybody say be about it. And I decided that I wasn't going to talk about it. They lived their life out on the limb, and people around them would have called them crazy. And every person I look at in the word that we quote their scriptures and get tattoos of what they said and have it hanging up in our kitchen, all of those people did not live, safe, comfortable, cookie cut lives for Christ. This series is to take us from safe living, from the Christianity that really has no level of risk, I know, we try to avoid risk at all costs, but believing God is risky business. If you're ready to experience a faith walk you will never ever forget, stay with me because we're about to move towards crazy faith. And there's still so much more for me to learn, so I want you to follow me as I follow Christ as we learn about crazy faith. I am so grateful that you joined us for today's program, and I cannot wait for you to hear the message today because right now we are in a series called Crazier Faith, and honestly, at one point in my life I thought I knew what it meant to walk in faith, but over the last several years, God has taken me on an incredible journey teaching me what it really means to walk in mountain moving, earth shaking, life changing faith.
