2. "We work hard to let others know about Jesus being involved in our lives, about what he's doing in our lives, what he's doing in our church, how.

3. "It's impossible to follow Jesus and not care about the people that he cares about. He cared about that person on the side. The side of the road. But that's not, that's not how it always goes.

4. "We see others as Jesus sees them. That's what we see as Paul continues to talk, he says, so we've stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view, but how differently we know him now as the human point of view, you look at your neighbor and you hate that he hasn't mowed his lawn in five weeks. You look at the one that has the sign of the political person that you can't stand and, and you write them off. We have to see others as Jesus sees them."

5. "It's impossible to follow Jesus and not care about the people he cares about. They, they come in at a perfect time. You see these awesome kids each and every week. They typically have gaps in their schedule of people that are signing up to serve, to work in the nursery, signing up to help out. They're not going to help you out in innovation kids. Is it, is it impossible for us to see them and say, you know what, somebody else will do that? I hope it is." [20:33] (33 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

7. "We can't lose focus on God's calling for our church. That's what we see with the apostle Paul as he says, and all of this is a gift from God who brought us back to himself and God has given us this task of reconciling people. This is our task. It's not just to be a spectator of people's lives changing. It's to be a participator and engage. Use whatever we have." [25:07] (27 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

Next week, we start a series called You Got Game. You're going to hear from one of my coaches. And it's been coaching me how to be a better leader, how to be a better pastor because I still have to become. There's still more that I can become. And so I need to submit to others as well."
