### Quotes for Outreach
1. "Being spirit led is not about what happens in the room. It's about what happens in your heart. You know, when the spirit says something to you that you should listen to it. So listen to it. Listen to him. The Holy Spirit will give you a couple of things. The Holy Spirit gives you the power to share Christ boldly. Yes, even to that family member that you dread speaking about Jesus to. Yes, even that group of friends that when they found out that you became Christian, they laughed. The Holy Spirit will give you the power to speak about Jesus boldly. The Holy Spirit will give you the power when you are feeling weak. The Holy Spirit will give you the power to have hope, even when things are hopeless." [45:29]
2. "We let little things become so big that we end up complaining about them constantly and we lose sight of who we're following. Enough said. Use God's word. Use God's word. Second Timothy chapter three, verse 16 to 17. All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching. Is useful for rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." [44:08]
3. "We are called by Jesus. Don't make the call. What am I called Jesus to? What are we focused on? Well, next week we'll have a look at what am I called to? What am I supposed to be called to? Because Ephesians chapter four in verse one says this, therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling. If Jesus is able to call you, that's pretty huge. That he wants to call you. He wants to speak to you. He wants to get you to do something on his behalf. It's pretty huge. And we can be worthy of that call. We can be worthy of that connection." [36:18]
4. "We ought to be known for our love and our compassion and our faithfulness, but we're known by the world by what we're against. Oh, we're against this. We're against that. We're against the next thing. We don't stand for this. We don't allow this. We can't accept that. That is unacceptable. Take that tattoo out of my church. Don't you dare wear a cap when you come to Jesus. And the world doesn't know what we're for. We're for following Jesus. The world just knows what we're against." [13:13]
### Quotes for Members
1. "To be a follower of Jesus, even when Jesus went down into the pit of hell, we have to go with him. Even when Jesus carried his cross, we have to carry our cross. Even when Jesus was beaten for his faith, we have to understand we're going to be beaten for our faith. Even when Jesus was resurrected on the third day, we were resurrected. From our old life. Even when Jesus ascended on ascension day, we were ascending with him to the right hand of God. Where Jesus goes, we go. Even when Jesus goes into the uncomfortable parts of our life, we go." [29:02]
2. "We are called to live a life worthy of our calling, free from excuses. But calling means that we live resolved and excuse-free. I don't live in excuses. But I just can't be there this evening at the volunteers table. The team night tonight, that's just a little bit out of it. Six o'clock is when I normally catch up on my news reading and just do a few things. So that's like, that's me time. And I don't know why these elders would even thought of making a meeting at that time on a Sunday. I'm all for Jesus though, but I just, I can't be there tonight. It's just, you know, it's just too much, too much." [36:18]
3. "We have to give the following of Jesus the respect he deserves. We have to give the following of Jesus the respect he deserves. I think Jesus deserves us to follow him and give that some kind of honor. Philippians chapter 2 verse 12 says it like this so then my beloved obedient sorry so then my beloved obedient as you've always been oh I wish that somebody could walk up to me and say you know what brother you've been obedient as you've always been I wish that was something that we could all say about each other how many of you realize that we haven't always been obedient." [22:42]
4. "We can't have a church. Unless we have a group of disciples. Church then just becomes a club if we're not the disciples of Jesus Christ. This bread and this cup represents that Jesus set himself up as an example for us to follow. He left us a way in which we should go. He said to us, this is what I want you to do. I want you to remain committed to me so deeply that I'll even tell you that I will be in you and you will be in me. That's how deep our commitment's going to be. I will go wherever you go if you go wherever I go." [50:30]
5. "We let little things become so big that we end up complaining about them constantly and we lose sight of who we're following. Enough said. Use God's word. Use God's word. Second Timothy chapter three, verse 16 to 17. All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching. Is useful for rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." [44:08]
