“and Jesus was also new that his message was not would not be received by everybody. That it would divide people. That people would have to choose what to believe and he it's not that he wanted division but the truth forces a response. You you can't encounter the claim that Jesus is lord and remain neutral. I mean, that's just the reality. There is no middle ground here. Either Jesus is who he says he is or he's not and and that's the reality.”

Just like that, alright? Everything changes”

“We are called to live differently because we are the church. And I'm just telling you, right? We live, Galax is this very unique place. We live in a very diverse city, very diverse for Appalachia, right? And so a lot of the issues we see are ethnic problems, racial problems, because we don't get along. Let's just be honest, right? There's prejudices, there's these beliefs, there's things that have been, you know, passed down from generation to generation. And we as the church have to stand up and say, we're called to live differently. We're called to be different.”

“We live in this world that is so deeply divided, and I'm here to tell you that that's not something new. We look in biblical times, and we see that there were a lot of cultural and religious walls that were built up that separated people. And you look in Paul's day, there were ethnic, there were cultural, there were religious boundaries that shaped how people looked at each other and how they saw each other and how they treated each other.”

The sacrificial system was, in effect, we didn't need it any longer because Jesus was our final sacrifice for our sins, and so when we look at this, the barrier that kept people away from God was torn down, showing that we can go to God directly, and that wasn't the only barrier that Jesus tore down.”
