"I know a lot of people in this room too. I'm blown away that you love us with this unfailing, unconditional love. Thank you, thank you. Thank you for the price that you paid, a price we couldn't pay. That you didn't fold your, cross your arms and turn your back on us when we turn our back on you." [00:00:23] (22 seconds)
"If it's God's word, it's God's will. Listen, I'm going to help you with something. Listen, today, if you're wrestling with what God's will for your life is, it's really not that complicated. Open up the Bible. And because you need to know what does the Bible say, you need to understand what the Bible says in proper context." [00:03:06] (18 seconds)
"So in second Corinthians chapter one, verse four, and I'm not, I was going to read the entire chapter. I did that yesterday at the Saturday campus and it was a train wreck, wasn't it Al? I mean, I didn't even get through half the message. So, so you're going to have to trust me and do your homework. But second Corinthians chapter four, verse one says, therefore, since God in his mercy has given us a new way, if God has given, you through the blood of his son, Christ, his son, Jesus, um, uh, new life in a new way, put your hand together. Come on somebody." [00:09:14] (38 seconds)
"And so in verses five through seven, here's what he says. In verses five through seven, he says, here's what else you need to know. Here's why you've got to have an I must, a spiritual non -negotiable. Because the gospel that changes people's lives, he says this in Romans 1 .16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, that it is the power of God unto the salvation. It's the power of God unto the salvation to the Jew first and also to the Gentile. In other words, the gospel's for everybody. He says, we can't be ashamed of it. And he says in 2 Corinthians chapter four, verses five through seven, the gospel is called a great treasure that's inside of us." [00:13:04] (40 seconds)
"The answer is inside of you. It's called the gospel. It's what you know it's inside of you, but it can't remain. It can't remain inside of you. And the next portion of scripture in 2 Corinthians here says this, and here's your reason, because eternity hangs in the balance. Like this is the real deal, Paul says. We know. Remember what he said. We know." [00:14:40] (28 seconds)
"And we're growing and we're learning. And so he says in verse 13, this is huge. In verse 13 says, because I know people perish, because I know I stored something inside of me that people need the gospel, hope, redemption, like I'm a hope dealer. because I know eternity hangs in the balance. Then he comes to verse 13, and he says, but we what? We continue to preach. In other words, we don't shut up. Yeah." [00:15:18] (33 seconds)
"So whether we're here in this body or we're away from this body, like we're home with the Lord, our goal, our spiritual non -negotiable, our I must is rooted in this one thing. This thing above all things. He says that our goal is to what? To please him. Because he did for me what I couldn't do for myself." [00:23:10] (37 seconds)
