Sermon Summary

Sermon Clips

1. "Even if you don't describe yourself as a Christian, you have a moral constraint, you have a framework, you have a list of things that you go, this is what I want to do, this is what I don't want to do, this is who I want to be, this is who I don't want to be. And what Paul would say is, you violate your own standards. So when you say you're a good person, what does that really mean when you fail your own standards of what it would mean to be a good person?" - 10:56

2. "We're all in this together. Not one understands God, not one seeks God. That's pretty all-encompassing. It turns out that the foot of the cross is even for all of us." - 08:16

3. "Just because we're sorry for what we did, it doesn't remove the consequences for which we are sorry. Because we don't understand that being remorseful doesn't take those consequences. I wish it did, but it doesn't. And there are stakes to our mistakes." - 13:30

4. "Your life is worth what God was willing to pay for it. Maybe that seems crass to you or flippant, but at the end of the day, if the God of the universe is willing to do what I believe he did to win you back, it's worth considering." - 05:26

5. "Our moral evaluation is flawed because we have no objective moral standard of our own and therefore we are always comparing our moral performance to the flawed moral performance of someone else. God doesn't work that way. See, for God, his standard isn't better than. God's standard is what's called holy. He's set apart, he's perfect, he's not in comparison to, he stands alone." - 05:26
