### Quotes for Outreach
1. "We get to live unapologetically as Christians. We don't have to apologize for being people of faith in Christ. Part of this, part of living after the example of Christ is that we do so because it has transformed us, because it has changed us, because it is deep inside the marrow of our bones and it has to come out. We live unapologetically. We get to live unapologetically." [44:05]
2. "We do things and we live our lives differently because we are Christians and we don't have to apologize for that. It's the end of the sentence when someone says, why do you live in a smaller house when you make all this money? Because I'm a Christian. And that's the end of the sentence. You don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to apologize for things. We believe that Jesus is God. That it is true. That it has been true and it will be true forever. He is Lord. He is risen Savior. He is the one who sets us free from our sin." [45:10]
3. "Jesus lived. Jesus died. And Jesus rose again. He rose. He died so that our sins would be forgiven. He rose so that we might live again. And the creed tells us again that there is indeed life to come. Because he will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. Christ is coming again. We believe this." [38:25]
4. "So here's the reason. Why? So what? What do we do here? Well, Romans 10 verse 9 says this. If you declare with your mouth Jesus is Lord and you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. And you will be saved not just for eternity but for right now. The fact of the matter is that as followers of Christ our salvation does not just mean a ticket to the other side. It's not that. It is that but it is far far more." [40:27]
5. "Jesus is fully God and fully human. This is what we see here in Luke chapter 1. The angel says to Mary, you will conceive and give birth to a son. And Mary asks the obvious question, for her at least. How will this be? Like she asks the question. She says, how will this be since I'm a virgin? And the angel says to Mary, the Holy Spirit will come on you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you so the Holy One to be born to you will be called the Son of God." [28:31]
### Quotes for Members
1. "We, yes, when we proclaim Jesus is Lord we do so to be saved. But we also do so to know that when we say that when we proclaim that and believe it to the very core of our being it means that our life right here and right now changes. It changes in the way that we behave. It changes in the way that we think. It changes in the decisions that we make and the people that we associate with and the ways in which we speak about who we are. The so what of it is yes, we believe that Jesus is God. Yes, we believe it. But that changes us." [41:29]
2. "Out of Adam and Eve sinning, God has a plan to redeem humanity. And so he sends Jesus in the fullness of time. He was not born by the will of man, scripture says, but by the will of God. And Jesus becomes the second Adam. He faced the same kinds of temptations, but all throughout his life he did not sin. He did not give into those temptations. He did not do what the original Adam did. So Jesus lived. And he died. And he rose. And he is coming again." [32:38]
3. "Jesus is God. He is the one who came so that we might be restored to relationship with God. He is the one who rose so that we might have life on this side of the grave. Not just eternal life but life on this side of eternity. And he is the one who is coming again that at the fullness of time all things will be made right. All of creation will be made new once again." [39:25]
4. "We began a new series that will last us through the summer called Standing with the Saints. And the tagline on it is that it is unapologetically Christian. And so we're going to dive into the tenets of our Christian faith based on the Nicene Creed that we spoke earlier in worship. And we're going to look at it from a broad view at the top and then we'll dive into more specifics over the course of the summer. But today we're going to take a look at who Jesus is. And the simple answer to that and the answer that comes from our creed is that Jesus is God. Full stop." [24:25]
5. "Jesus lived. He put, God put on flesh and said here I am. He came to his own so that everything that he created could be redeemed. But Jesus doesn't just live and then snuff out of existence because Jesus lived and then he died. The creed says for our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried. So Jesus lived, but he also died. He died for our sins." [35:14]
