### Quotes for Outreach
1. "Do be encouraged to read the word of God. That's not what I'm saying. I don't understand. I'm not going to read it. That's not the point. The point here is that Jude has that feeling that something bigger is coming." [08:09]
2. "In today's age and culture, everybody boasts about everything. I put the dishes in the sink. I'm a great person. I help my neighbor carry some heavy stuff. Man, you guys should have seen how great I am. We as humans have this tendency to boast. Our culture tells us to do that. Every time you're writing your own resume or CV, right? You don't put there, I don't like working late. I show up late sometimes. I'm not a good team player, right? Have you ever gotten a job like that? Write down on your resume." [18:37]
3. "We as Christians, we were to follow this and many of us do. And when I say Christians, I'm talking about Christianity worldwide. So many of us do this. I often get to talk to people who are not believers, who are not inside the church, who do not know Jesus Christ. And the number one question is, okay, so what do you guys do? Guess what? We do a lot. We volunteer, we help, we pay other people's bills. We do so much. But the thing is, we don't post it on social media. We don't brag about it to everyone to see." [20:05]
4. "Isn't it beautiful that we serve a living God who speaks to us daily? Isn't it beautiful that we serve a God who wants to have a relationship with us daily and not just Sunday morning at 1030? Isn't it beautiful that, as we continue to grow in him, we can say, I used to believe this. I used to think this way, but now through the grace of God, I'm this way." [24:18]
5. "We think differently, we act differently, we vote differently, all of this, but we serve the same God. And because we serve the same God, we have a goal, we have a vision, and we walk forward. So it's okay to change your mind. It's okay to boast not in who you are, but in who he is." [26:15]
### Quotes for Members
1. "Jude starts off this letter and he says, I don't want to boast in who I am, but I want to boast in Christ. I want to be not the brother, but the servant of Jesus Christ. In today's age and culture, everybody boasts about everything. I put the dishes in the sink. I'm a great person. I help my neighbor carry some heavy stuff. Man, you guys should have seen how great I am. We as humans have this tendency to boast. Our culture tells us to do that. Every time you're writing your own resume or CV, right? You don't put there, I don't like working late. I show up late sometimes. I'm not a good team player, right? Have you ever gotten a job like that? Write down on your resume." [18:37]
2. "James could have kept this out of the letter, couldn't he? He could just say, hey, guess what? I'm going to write to you to continue about the faith because there are some people inside the church, so let's go. Instead of 25 verse, there were probably only 23 verse. But he starts off by saying, listen, I was going to write to you about this, but I'm changing my mind and I'm writing to you about this. In our Christian walk, these are daily steps that we take in everything. This does not mean that we're going to be blown away by any wind of doctrine. This does not mean that, okay, now anything goes or everything goes, as we will see next Sunday, by the way." [24:18]
3. "We know that God continues to warn us. Through messages, through the Bible, through relationships where we can sit together with one another and say, you know what? We love one another. We may disagree on so many aspects, on so many points, but at the end of the day, we are serving one God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who dwells inside each and every one of us who believes, who dwells inside each and every one of us who believes in him." [27:50]
4. "So we know that we now have a new life, and this new life that we have, we want to bring forth to those who do not have it. Isn't that a beautiful testimony? Many times people say, I don't know what to say. Show your life. I don't know how or for what to pray about. Just pray. And when we are taking these little steps day by day, people around us will notice. People around us will say, there's something different about you. There's something in your eye that I can't put my finger on, but I know there's something more to your life than mine." [29:26]
5. "And you may say, well, I didn't grow up that bad, right? I remember growing up in church, people would come to the front man. Oh yeah, I used to beat my wife every day. That's a good way to start a testimony. But now I don't beat them anymore. Amen. Praise the Lord. And the wife was double happy for that. But that's like, and I remember as a kid going, you did what? Really? So maybe you don't have that testimony. Maybe you weren't drunk every day. You didn't beat your wife. You didn't cheat. You didn't steal. You didn't spend time in jail. You may think, well, my testimony is not all that. But you know what? You know, when you have new life in Christ, you know that he did something in you that you can now freely share to those around you." [29:26]
