### Quotes for outreach

1. "Perspective determines priorities. So if we see things with an earthly perspective, thinking that this is all that there is, and this is all that's important, then we will live like right now is all that matters. But if we live our life with an eternal perspective, looking forward to the things that come, then we will see that the life we live here actually influences the life that we live later."

### Quotes for members

1. "Your heart is revealed by the things that you treasure. If you treasure things in this world, then your heart is stuck in this world.

3. "If your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. If you're looking to the right things, your body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If your eye is looking at the right things, your life will be full of light. If your eyes are looking, however, at the wrong things, then we will be stuck living, in darkness." [16:24] (21 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

4. "The problem with materialism is that materialism makes promises. It just can't be fulfilled. It just can't keep. Materialism promises me things like happiness, but we know that's just not the case. Materialism promises me things like purpose. Materialism promises me things like power. It just doesn't work like that. I'm constantly chasing after the next thing as long as I'm placing materialism as my focus in this life."

5. "Repent means to turn around and do a 180. So maybe you've been following this God of materialism. Repentance would look like this. You turn around and you go back to Jesus and you begin, following Jesus. Another thing we can do as a way of application this morning is to refocus. It's to refocus. Instead of fixating on the things of this world, we fix our attention on Christ." [25:17] (25 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
