### Quotes for Outreach

1. "He is personal. And he wants every person in this room to get to know him. He wants every person in this room, not just to hear of his majesty, but to experience his majesty. Not just to hear of his wonder, but live in the reality of his wonder. Not just to know that he is all powerful because you heard a message on it, or someone told you about it, or grandma who went to church prayed over it, but every one of us in this moment, in this time, in our stage, whatever it is we're facing, that we would get a fresh glimpse of who he is."

2. "When you get to know him, he changes everything. He changes how we see success, and he changes how we walk through challenge. He changes everything. One of our pastors this week sent me an email. It was an email of a lady from Australia, I think it was, who called her. And she was in internal challenge, and it was too early in the morning to call a church over there. So she Googled and found our number, and I'm assuming this pastor just happened to be the pastor after hours. And she got through to her, and they had a conversation. And in that moment, Jesus showed up." [48:42] (42 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "Why Jesus? Because Jesus is not about us getting to God. Jesus is about God getting to us. Because this is where Jesus doesn't qualify as a religion. Because if religion is the framework to enlightenment, to peace, to heaven, Jesus flips the script upside down. Jesus didn't come to show us what we need to get to God. Jesus came to show us what God would do to get to us." [58:03] (32 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

### Quotes for Members

1. "And I have loved this why series. I love Pastor Luke's heart, is that we wouldn't just know what, but we would know why. And we've done why suffering, why forgive, why worship, why the church, and today the thread that runs through every why. His name is Jesus. He is the thread that runs through every why. And this year, I've been walking with Jesus 30 years. And as I've studied for this message this week, I've found myself again, realizing how majestic he is, how wonderful he is, how powerful he is, how omnipresent he is, how vast he is. How after 30 years, I'm only just scratching the surface of discovering this man called Jesus." [47:17] (54 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


2. "Here's what I've discovered, that a huge part of religion is not our search for God, but it's our search for us. It's our search to make sense out of our own life, and out of our own challenge, and we're looking for a pathway to get from where we are to where we want to go, and we will find, a lot of people will find gods, or frameworks. Or ideologies that they will adopt that helps them make sense of their own reality." [52:55] (28 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "Religion. It gives you a path for your outcome, but the truth is, religions were created by human beings, and they give us what we must do to get God's attention, and here's what I've observed over decades of ministry. Really, no one is searching for God. They're searching for life. They're searching for fulfillment. They're searching for, how do I make sense of this life? They know that there's something. They know that there's something missing. They know that they're just existing, that there's something wrong or something broken, that there's a hole and a hollowness in their soul, that they're trying to find the life that seems to be eluding them."

4. "When Jesus says, I am the way and the truth and the life, what he's actually saying is I am the perfect fit for your soul. You ever bought a pair of shoes that don't quite fit? remember my first trip to America. If you've ever been to America, they do sales like no one else. Like here, when they do sales, you walk in, it's like 5% off. In America, when it says 95% off, it's genuinely 95% off. I remember going to this Nike store. There's these Nike outlet stores. And there was these pair of Nikes that I really wanted. And I walk in and it was 95% off. There was this one rack that was 95% off. And shoes that were $150. $150 worth $15. I walk up to the shoe stand and there was the exact Nike. Same color. The exact one. I'm like, oh, that's the one. I'm a size nine. Shut up. Small feet are okay. Don't look at my feet and judge me, by the way." [01:01:58] (68 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


5. "Do you know that God has more for your marriage? God has more for your internal world. God has more revelation for you. God has more discovering who Jesus is. That every one of us is wired towards God and his plan. You are designed for hope. And the only way for you and I to, to discover God's design is through the way of Jesus. The amazing thing about hope is it only works in the future. Hope in the past is called regret. I wish that it happened. Hope in the future is there's a better tomorrow. There's a better day that God can get me through. Jesus is the way that we walk into the future that every soul was designed to yearn for."
