4. "I have found that many men and women feel like life is hollow and thin. And usually when someone thinks their life is hollow and thin, they're making one of two errors.

Or they're looking towards their future and going, ah, today really stinks, but man, in the future, if I could just line these things up, if I could just work a little bit harder, if I could just get these things to go my way, then finally, and when you're stuck in the past or stuck in the future, you hollow out the now."

And in a way that shows that Christ is invading our present regardless of how we've come in." [36:56] (29 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
### Quotes for Members
1. "Martha does three things as she gets to Jesus. One, she immediately brings up the past. It's the first thing out of her mouth. It's a legitimate question. If you had been here, my brother would not die. Now, that may or may not be true, right? If you would have come, he would have lived." [10:10] (16 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
2. "For many of us, there's this thing behind us that defines us. It's become a type of identity for us. And we can't reconcile a loving God with what's behind us. One, we can't reconcile that he would love us because of what we've done. And we certainly can't reconcile him being loving when we consider what has occurred to us." [13:42] (17 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
3. "When people get in our baptistry and they share what their life's been like without Christ. And one of my favorite parts of the village is the stories we hear. So when people get into this water in front of 1,400 strangers, talk about their addiction, talk about their depravity, talk about horrific, shameful things that they've given themselves over to. And in a moment, what was meant to be shame and guilt becomes atrophied. Atrophied of God's grace. That's the past starting to get untangled." [34:20] (36 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
4. "Where would you be if Christ had not saved you? If I think about my bloodline, if I think about Chandler men over the last 100 years think about where I am today with no knock against my daddy or my daddy's daddy, they did the best they could with where they were. Everything about my life has changed from how I view my marriage and pursue my wife to how I see my children and engage with them to how I spend my money to what I think about friends and their place in my life to how hard I work to what everything's been shaped and molded. By the way, for the better, as future hope has been pulled into the present because I believe that the tomb is empty." [40:01] (48 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
5. "If you're hung up on your past, I'm trying to tell you that if your sinfulness was too much for Jesus, he would still be in the grave. But because he is not, you believing your sin has more power, then his resurrection is hogwash because he's shown that it's been paid in full or he'd be dead. If you still owed, he'd still be dead. He's not, which means he paid it all. The debt's been paid. So what's available to you right now is the resurrection and the life, Christ himself."
