1. "You know, I have a I had a spiritual father Pastor Billy. When we came here 20 plus years ago, Pastor Gail and Pastor Billy took us under their wings and taught us so much in my growth in his faith and the knowledge in the word. And he taught me so much. Yes, I had a biological father. He taught me so much. He passed away a couple years ago, but he wasn't a man of faith until his later years. And so growing up, I didn't get that. So when I came here to have somebody like that to take you under their wing and to show you what true faith is all about was just an awesome thing."

### Quotes for Members
1. "And so Abraham believed in God's promise and his faithfulness was counted as all right with him. And what that does, it highlights that faith is believing in God's word even when the circumstances seem impossible. And it often requires us to trust in God's promises despite what we see. See, we're not supposed to be moved by what we see or feel, right? Because those are temporal, which means that changes, right? We're supposed to be moved by faith, stand on faith. And it's about looking beyond our immediate circumstances and believing in the unseen." (34 seconds)(Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
2. "And so with that, it's that ultimate test of faith, seeing if you're going to do and follow through with what God says. When God says step out, are you going to step out? See, Isaac was the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and it represented his future and his legacy and hope. And despite all this, Abraham still obeyed, showing his true faith and trust in God. And so what that illustrates to us is sometimes it requires us to surrender when we hold most dear. Whatever you hold most dear, sometimes it requires us to surrender that, trusting God's plans are greater." (39 seconds)(Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
3. "And so Abraham's trust in God's promise was not limited, like I said, to his generation to generation from his descendants, so forth and so on, even influencing Isaac and Jacob and the entire nation of Israel. And what that shows, that shows us that our faith, our faith decisions have far reaching implications beyond our immediate circumstances. Amen. I'm going to say that again. Our faith decisions have far reaching implications beyond our immediate decisions." (35 seconds)(Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
4. "And so we stepped out in faith and we did foster care. And it was never our intention to go into fostering to adopt, but we stepped out in faith and we did foster care for, I'm not sure how many years, six, seven years. I don't hear it. So that's good. Six or seven years. And during that time, I mean, we had, I don't know how many kids, countless kids, at least 15 or 20. Missy could tell you their names, their birthdays, when they came to us, all that stuff. I mean, even the kids that we adopted now, she knows their adoption day. We celebrate their adoption day and their birthdays." (34 seconds)(Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
5. "And so we see that and we see how he was a faithful man and we can emulate after that. So he left that legacy. Let's go to Hebrews 11:8-12. It says, 'By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. See, by faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.'" (46 seconds)(Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
