1. "No one can snatch you out of the father's hands. No danger, no, say, you could go to Romans 8 and look at all that beautiful section there. Who can separate us from the love of Christ? And he goes through every possibility that can happen in a life. And he says, none of these things can do that. It's a wonderful thing, guys. Because if anyone could foul up and fail, it would have been me. I know. I mean, I was an expert at deception. I was an expert at all kinds of things back in those days when I was living that way. And, you would have thought that I would have been the first one to fail. But God has brought me along. He'll never let go of me. He will never let go of you. He will keep you." [36:13]
2. "God wants to take that depression out. You make a commitment to him. You trust him. That word, he says, Father, sanctify them. Notice this is us. He's praying for those that will believe in the message of the disciples. That's us. We're reading from their writings. He says, sanctify them by your truth, Lord. Your word is truth. Sanctify means set apart. Something that's set apart from it no longer is everyday kind of secular uses but it's exclusively for God's use and to bring him glory." [42:35]
3. "Come unto me, those who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. You rest in your efforts to change your life. You rest in your efforts to try to make your life, have meaning. Hey, listen. Come to him. He'll give you those things. He'll transform you. And you'll have a new beginning. Receive the Lord. He rose from the dead for you so that he could come into your heart. And he says, behold, I knock on the door of your heart. And if any man hears my voice and opens the door to his heart, I will come in. I will come in. And we will have supper." [45:29]
4. "You might think that you are mission impossible, but you're not. Jesus is holding out his hands to you. Here is something that he could check off on the list. I manifested your name. I showed who God was. Through my life, God in the flesh dwelt among us. And that word manifests. It's phaneroo in the Greek. It means to shine forth. I shined forth who you are in my life. It's an illustration, not a declaration so much. But it's an illustration, and that's what Jesus did." [28:00]
5. "He has forgiven you. You can't pay for that forgiveness. You can't change your life but he can change you. He is the miracle worker. He is the one that performs mission uh impossible becomes mission possible so he says look I came to give eternal life to as many as you have given him I remember when I came to Christ I just what occurred to me was I've just gotten saved and it didn't cost me anything it wasn't my by some tremendous effort that I had to put out for my salvation Jesus did all the tremendous effort Jesus died Jesus suffered Jesus went through torture for me that he could give me new life eternal life man I I couldn't understand why anybody would ever turn it down." [09:43]

1. "I think sometimes one of the greatest things to accomplish in marriage counseling is to get the husband and wife to realize that they are one, that they're on the same side. Instead of fighting and having that war and trying to score points, you know, against each other, that they realize, man, we're on the same team. We're going for the same things. We're raising our children to know you." [35:17]
2. "Could the greatest hurt that you're going through, maybe a hurt even right now, could it actually be the greatest good for you? Don't run away from your cross. Don't run away from what's going on your circumstances and your circumstances. Or that are maybe very, very hard to go through right now. Hey, hold on. Hold on to Jesus today. We like to think of that greatest glory, you know, comes when you win the Olympic gold and you win the race and you're in front of 100,000 cheering fans. But could it be that in God's way of doing things, our greatest glory may actually come for our greatest pain? Jesus said that. Jesus displayed that." [17:00]
3. "And so he's saying, he's praying that, that they are, as they're going to be in the world, that not to transform or organize the world or we're going to make it all wonderful and then Jesus, you come back but rather he's praying for those that the Father has called out of the world system that we may be one as we are. And so, you know, it's one of those things, guys. He's speaking about us now and he's praying for us that we might be one. That we might hold on to those essential truths of the Bible. We don't need to agree with each other about everything but we need to be one in him. That it doesn't matter what denomination, it doesn't matter what church you go to as long as you love Jesus, man. We're one. We're brothers and sisters." [33:52]
4. "And so listen, guys. Where are we at today? You might think that you are mission impossible, but you're not. Jesus is holding out his hands to you. Here is something that he could check off on the list. I manifested your name. I showed who God was. Through my life, God in the flesh dwelt among us. And that word manifests. It's phaneroo in the Greek. It means to shine forth. I shined forth who you are in my life. It's an illustration, not a declaration so much. But it's an illustration, and that's what Jesus did. And then he says, I have kept your word. And I think about those two things, and I ask myself, you know, in before the Lord, Lord, if I were to go to be before you today, could I claim the same thing? Have I kept your word? You know what, gladly, you know what? Many of us here have kept God's word. We're not perfect. But we're walking with the Lord, aren't we? We're praying, and we're in the word of God. We're in fellowship with your people. That's what God has called us to do." [28:00]
5. "And so here in this cross, as Jesus is tortured and hurt, comes the greatest glory for God. And sometimes, guys, in our lives, our greatest hurt in our lives is the fact that we don't know what to do. It can be our greatest good. I know your story. I know some of you guys have gone through really hard times in your life. You've gone to times when you're so depressed and so down about what you're doing. Man, that, you know, it's amazing how God brought you through it. And God took you out of that. And you grew. And great victory came out of those very things." [15:11]
