### Quotes for outreach

1. "Our love is from God directed to his glory and honor which benefits the people around us. The message that Sunday it was taken from Luke chapter 10 verses 25 37 wherein Jesus shared this parable where we have a man robbed beaten and left to die on the road and then a priest came and passed by him and went on a different direction and then a levite came and did the same and then came a samaritan who came from a group of people hated by those listening to the story that Jesus is sharing but it was the samaritan who did what no one expected."

2. "Show mercy. As we have learned, showing mercy is not just an inward feeling of sadness and grief that we show to people, but it's an action towards other people, an outward expression of compassion and care that is also costly. We must show mercy to everyone. I know it's not always easy. That's why we need to pray." [43:25] (34 seconds) ( | | )

3. "Our ministry and our love is an overflow of what God has showered us. It is what we have experienced from God. It is that overflowing presence of God, of God's love intimately growing with us that we can share our love for other people. So don't stop where you are. Ask the Holy Spirit to empower you so that you can share that love that you have from God to others." [47:59] (37 seconds) ( | | )

4. "God is commanding us to love others with a love that makes an impact in the lives of the people that we meet. Like the good Samaritan who stopped, who is willing to be disturbed, who is willing to entertain that interruption in his life to show compassion and care, to love people anywhere, anytime as he himself is experiencing that love. He is also giving away, sharing that love to other people." [47:59] (36 seconds) ( | | )

5. "Lastly, by this all men will know that you are my disciples. John 13.35 says, if you have love for one another. And the world will know that we are true Christians, true believers, true followers of Jesus Christ. By our love for God and for one another. For the people that we meet. For those people that we pass by. People that doesn't know Christ. Our culture must be a loving, caring, compassionate, discipling culture." [50:50] (38 seconds) ( | | )

### Quotes for members

1. "We share a common value of discipling people, discipling our neighbors. We have a discipleship culture anchored on God's word here in our church. We have a discipleship culture Matthew 28, 19-20 tells us to make disciples. And our mission reminds us to honor God and make Christ-committed followers who will make Christ-committed followers. That's our vision. That's our mission." [38:19] (25 seconds) ( | | )

2. "Our core values define who we are and how we do things in order to accomplish our mission and our vision. That's the mission that God gave us. And as a person, you all belong to a family, right? So the day after the service, the following day, I talked to my children through chat because some are studying somewhere else. So we have a group chat in our family and I want to share this personal space to everyone to encourage all of you that you can start talking about the culture that we are learning from God through the church and applying it in our home." [39:20] (38 seconds) ( | | )

3. "If you're a parent, if you're a mother, a father, and you're leading your children or leading your family members at home, I pray that as you learn this biblical culture from God's Word, I hope and I pray that you will also apply it in your lives so that you can all grow in Christ-likeness, in aligning, and in your lives and a source of encouragement to that bigger calling of God to us as disciples of Jesus Christ."

4. "So the question, a good question to ask is, so who is your neighbor? Can you chat right now, who do you think your neighbors are? What do you think your neighbors are? Who are these people? I want to say that, you know, our neighbors are our loved ones, our family members, our relatives, our friends, our office mates. They can be the literal people around us, the house next door. They are our neighbors. Old friends. It's everybody. But the challenge is this, how are we loving others? How are we loving the people that are close to us?" [46:54] (44 seconds) ( | | )

5. "Let us pray that our love will not be about us but about God and leading those we love to God, not to us. Let us pray that this love will continue to be a motivation that is not selfless but is directed toward God's honor and glory. Let us pray. Lastly, by this all men will know that you are my disciples. John 13.35 says, if you have love for one another." [50:50] (99 seconds) ( | | )
