Echo Church with Shawn Gray (Audio)

The greatest things in life come with a struggle.

The mysteries of God aren't hidden from you, they're hidden for you.

Little children, don’t be deceived.

Don't begrudge the work of the vinedresser.

Your temporal vision should always be subject to your spiritual one.

God is looking to reap a harvest of sons.

The problem isn't with the harvest. It is with the laborers.

What you call glory and what Jesus calls glory are two different dimensions of glory.

Our flesh is the main perpetrator for the failure of seed to take root in our lives.

God wants to humble you, but not humiliate you. He wants to break you, but not destroy you.

The desert teaches you how to become totally dependent on God.

God will never entrust you with that which you can not release.

Let Christ be revealed in you. The only way out is up.

It is not enough to be saved from, we must be saved to.

God foreknew you and because He foreknew you He calls you.

An acorn only becomes a great tree when it's placed in the right environment and fertilized.

Now, more than ever, the church must be strong. It's time to BE the church and stop attending.

What if what we consider "radical christianity" today, became the norm?

The body loses unity when the members strive independently.

A disciple's heart is powered and steered by a Christ-like mindset.

Stop approaching God according to what you've done, and start approaching Him according to what He did.

As a church we must stop asking God for the tools He’s already given us to accomplish our work in His Kingdom.

The thing that gets you access to the Kingdom can also keep you out.

It’s easy to get in the church, but the kingdom takes a lot more. It is the pressure of life that gives you access to the kingdom.

We must be devoted to the apostles doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

God can't just be something. He desires to be everything.

Don’t allow what’s in you to stay in you. Walk it out.

The book of Acts wasn't written for all people, not for the masses. It was written to Theophilus: "Lovers of God".

You are what you treasure.

Coming into agreement for the thoughts God thinks towards you.

God does not react to your situations. He’s already ahead of them.

You can't find headship through Christ without first losing your head.

The best way to create headroom is to be beheaded.

Having understanding is a declaration of what you stand under.

How you are is in direct correlation with WHERE you are.

Our church is not a church for one generation. If God is a multi-generational God, we must be a multi-generational church!

Fruits are unlocked by the seeds we sow and the keys we use.

Fruit only grows on a tree with deep roots. Before we can focus on the outwards things in life, we must look inward.

Submission is a matter of the heart and commitment is one of the will.

We will be a people that submit first to Christ and to one another.
