### Quotes for Outreach
1. "Let's go and invite other people to be part of this beautiful family of God, walking in the freedom, walking in the good works that He has planned for us to do. Call upon God as Father this week. Reach out to Him and stay close to your Father as He leads you through this week. God bless you. Hug somebody. Tell them you love them. And we'll see you next week." [42:21]
2. "You have all been chained to sin, but now through Christ you have been unchained, from that sin that broke your relationship with God. We didn't know him as Father before because we were under the weight of his judgment. Right? We all felt that weight of judgment. We were all drinking that cup of God's wrath before. But God has promised to take that away from us. And so when we were under that judgment, we didn't know God as Father, that's when Jesus, our brother, stepped in and traded his place for ours. He traded your chains for a perfect relationship with God." [30:27]
3. "We were set free by the eternal blood of Jesus, something of infinite worth. The price for you, was an infinite amount. And God paid for that infinite amount with his own life. So if the cost for your life was infinite, what does that mean for the life you have now? It has infinite value to God. Your lives should begin to reflect the value that Christ paid for you. And that looks like becoming holy, just like our Holy Father." [33:22]
4. "Our redemption, God's freedom, brought us out of this kingdom of darkness where we were confused, where we couldn't see our way, where we couldn't see what was right, we couldn't see what was wrong, we didn't know what to do. It was dark. God picked us up out of that and placed us in a new kingdom where we're called children of God, where we get to call him Father." [35:45]
5. "Jesus' death was not just betrayal and humiliation and abandonment and backstabbing by his best friends and suffering for nothing. Jesus' death was not in vain. We don't just read about it and say, Oh, that's tragic. Jesus' death actually did something. Jesus' death actually accomplished something. As one scholar puts it, said, It would rescue a world of people in chains, like hostages on a hijacked aircraft, not perished yet, but in imminent danger of perishing. His death was the price that God paid, for sinners to go free." [24:37]
### Quotes for Members
1. "For every single person who he has freed. So don't run back to the bondage and the chains. Continue on. We witnessed baptisms last week. Use that to be reminded of your own baptism, of your own relationship with God. Yes, that was me five years ago. That was me 10, 20, 30 years ago. I remember when God freed me from that. I remember when I was joined as a family member of God. Don't run back to the old way of life. He has set you free. Use that freedom for him. Remain firm. Pursue holiness by staying close to your Father, being obedient to the one who loves you and has redeemed you, the one who set you free." [38:43]
2. "He fights for his people. He defends his people. And so, because of that, he makes a promise. He says, I'm going to take that cup of judgment, that suffering that you deserve, I'm gonna take that out of your hand, and I'm gonna give it to your enemy. He says, I'm gonna take it out of your hand, and you will never drink from it again. God makes a promise to his people, Israel, that they will never drink from the judgment again." [09:42]
3. "This servant of the Lord, it's a picture of a humble priest. The servant of the Lord is a priest. And he will prosper, meaning he will act with wisdom. He will fear God rather than fear men. And because of his faithfulness, he will be exalted. And when he is raised up, instead of seeing like this king dressed in amazing golden shining clothes. We actually see that he is exalted. We see that he is disfigured and marred and distorted. So much that you can't even recognize that he's a man." [16:55]
4. "This servant will be faithful to carry out God's will perfectly. And when he accomplishes God's will, he will see it, and he will be completely satisfied with it. He will be satisfied to see God's perfect will accomplished through his life. And so the redemption God promises to bring takes place through the anguish of a righteous servant, so that many people, not just Israel, many people would be made righteous because of him." [22:00]
5. "God has brought you into his family. He has made you free from sin. He does not accuse you of any of the wrongdoings you've done. I have done my full fair share of those. But Jesus presents me before God, my Father, as holy and blameless. And he does the same thing for you." [38:11]
