### Quotes for Outreach
1. "Look at God. Look at God. See, they were meant to be destroyed. Look at God. And this is what God does over and over in the Bible, is he takes what is meant for destruction and turns it into destiny. And see, this message today is not just for the moms. It's not just for the women. It's for everyone, because all of us should have an interest, an investment, an imagination of what's possible for the next generation when they love and obey God. All of us should know that the God who resides in us is greater than the enemy's plots, ploys, or pleas." [05:13]
2. "See, the world would have you think that our future generation is not poised for God's glory. See, our world would have you believe that the future generations are doomed. The world, if you watch the news or social media, whatever it is, they would have you think that the generations coming have it the worst, that they cannot overcome the challenges of today. But I'm going to share with you today, people of God, we have a different story. We can see a God who's going to do great things." [08:20]
3. "When we release back to God what is already his, he will return to us exceedingly abundantly more than we have ever asked for. Today, if you are wanting to experience God's glory, you have to be ready to let go of what already is his. It may be your kids. It may be your very own life. It might be a job. It could be something that's haunting you. Whatever it is, God is asking you to give it to him, and he will return glory for it." [37:02]
4. "See, what the enemy tries to use to destroy the next generation, God will use to save the next generation. The Hebrew people faced generations full of oppression, long-suffering death, slavery to their enemy. And God saw their desperation, and from the reeds of the river, put together a series of events that would cause this baby boy to become the leader of the Israelites, taking them from oppression into freedom." [06:52]
5. "Your sacrifice today will lead you to his great glory. Please enjoy this dance. Thank you, Jesus. There is glory all around us. See, he went into the river, into the water, a Hebrew baby boy, and he came out of the water as a prince. If you've ever been baptized, water baptized, you know the significance of water. It's a symbol of God's mighty power." [29:13]
### Quotes for Members
1. "Parents, we need to look at our kids and see them. Now we all think our baby is the best looking baby when they are born or not, but we need to continue to see them as that very precious baby that they were. We need to see them for all the potential that is inside of them. See, when you wake up in the morning and you greet your children, you should be the first one to tell them, hey, you are worth it." [11:23]
2. "Next-gen leaders, I'm talking about the leaders in this house that served our zero to 18 year olds. You are our next-gen leaders. If you're in the house and you are one of those leaders, would you just lift up your hand today and you serve kids? Yes, thank you to every one of you. Our next-gen leaders are one of those leaders who are going to serve the next-gen leaders. This is one of the most vital places of serving in our church. We must have an army of next-gen leaders." [19:12]
3. "We must carry compassion, never contempt for the next generation. See, Pharaoh's daughter looked at the baby and he was crying and she felt sorry for him. See, our next-gen leaders are going to see our children in ways that we may not experience them. They will probably see as they get older more of their hurts, more of the things that they're struggling with. Look, they may be talking about us parents to your next-gen leaders and that's okay." [19:12]
4. "Parents, we must reinforce our children. We must train them up. We add to what they already are. We use the word of God, worship, church family, relationships, whatever we can get our hands on to begin to add the tar to the basket so that when we send them out to the river they are waterproof." [14:23]
5. "Our sacrifices will lead to future glory. Verse 10, later when the boy was older, his mom brought him back to Pharaoh's daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, I lifted him out of the water. Now we always read that and you hear the mostly is like she gave her baby away and the princess picked him up. But something that caught me again when I read this was that she gave him away not once, but two times." [27:46]
6. "Church family, we are called to guide the next generation. It says in verse seven, then the baby's sister approached the princess. Should I go and find one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby? She asked. Yes, do the princess said. So the girl went and called the baby's mother. See church family, even if you are not a next-gen leader, there is a place for you." [23:32]
