You can have the greatest gifts, elite wisdom, and rock solid faith, but it will not be worth anything if you do not love like Jesus.

It’s honestly not really possible. Gifts and Wisdom from God should produce love.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

1. Take correction seriously. Let it humble you. It is God’s path.

2. Put obedience above your goals. Dreams die when you refuse to leave trash behind.

3. Choose wise ppl. Those you walk with shape who you become.

4. Obey God’s path. Sin piles up bad outcomes. His plan leads to blessings.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

1. Be brave under pressure.

2. Protect what God entrusts to you.

3. Do your part and move faithfully. Faith takes action.

4. Leave the outcome with God. Trust His will; path.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

When God makes the way clear, move forward faithfully.

His presence is a green light to keep moving.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

Seek the Lord before you move, and keep seeking Him as you go.

He wants us to rely on His strength, not our own.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

When you feel strong, stay humble. Temptation is common, and pride can make you careless.

God is faithful. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so you can endure.

Count on it. Look for it. Take it before you fall.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

Remove anything that blocks the gospel. Paul gave up money and support so nothing would keep people from hearing Christ clearly.

His message must go ahead of our comfort.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

Be humble about what you know. Pride keeps your understanding shallow.

Make loving God your main goal. He knows.

Knowledge should make you careful, patient, and helpful.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

God paid a high price for you.
Your life belongs to Christ.

Do not let people, pressure, sin, or idols become your master.

Live free to obey God.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

1. God gives us strength. David’s confidence is in God’s power.

2. God’s way is perfect. Faith trusts God’s way in tough times.

3. God’s word proves true. We trust what God says.

4. God is refuge, shield, & rock. He protects and steadies those who take refuge in Him.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

Winning a dispute is not a win if the way you fight dishonors God and wrongs others.

Being wronged is not a green light to escalate.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

Believers, the body of Christ, must be united in holding each other accountable for what God has clearly called serious sin.

Every believer will fail and sin, but we must not treat ongoing sin as good, harmless, or normal.

Christ showed this kind of love. His love does not excuse rebellion. It confronts sin so people can turn back to Him and find peace and joy.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

Before we judge someone too quickly, remember we do not see everything God sees. We can recognize sin, but we do not fully know someone’s motives.

The Lord will bring what is hidden to light when He comes, so be slow to judge. Be especially slow when their sin is one you do not usually struggle with.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

Important to know and speak this now, when actively walking with God.

It is easy to forget when wandering away.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

Life is short. Division can become final. Do not harden yourself in needless distance from God or from people.

God does not delight in leaving people separated. He makes a way back. Never believe there is no way back.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

It is wise to accept correction, have character that makes your marriage stronger (and easier!), speak in a way that helps instead of tears down, and do what is right.

Wisdom is not vague. You can see it in how you respond, speak, and live.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

The world does not determine what is wise. It will be wrong about who is wise if it rejects God.

I put low value on historical finds. God does not need us to prove He exists… as if He is not able to keep something unknown from us.

We come to God by faith. Not by proving Him on our terms.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

God delivered Paul so he could keep sharing the gospel.

1. God’s path has a purpose. Paul was spared to testify.

2. Opposition does not stop God.
The gospel was denounced, but God made a path.

3. God can make confinement fruitful. Paul was held captive, but the message was not.

4. Faithfulness continues. Paul kept teaching about Jesus.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

Paul, the prisoner, became the clearest voice on the ship.

1. Faithfulness can give you a clear voice. Paul trusted God.

2. Trusting God still means acting wisely. Paul believed God would save them, but he warned them not to let the sailors leave.

3. You do not need status to be useful to God. Paul had no official power, but God used him to warn and encourage everyone onboard.

4. Calm obedience can steady others. Paul gave thanks, ate, and encouraged everyone else.

[Gary Coby @GaryCoby]

“Why does it seem incredible to any of you that God can raise the dead?”
Acts 26:8 NLT

1. Do not shrink God down to
what seems possible.
2. God made life, why is this
difficult?
3. Faith is taking God’s power
seriously.
4. Jesus rising from the dead
changes everything.

“But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest. I teach nothing except what the prophets and Moses said would happen—”
Acts 26:22 NLT

1. God has a plan. His people are
not sustained by accident.
2. God does not protect us only
for our comfort.
3. Do not hold the gospel back
from anyone.
4. Stay faithful to God’s message.
Do not invent your own. ———————————————
