1. "So as a result of that, let's ask him to renew our awe and our gratitude for that sacrifice. Come on. Let's ask him to cultivate that first love again in our hearts. And Jesus, we, we take this bread now, which represents your body. We eat together now in the name of the father, son, and the Holy spirit. Everybody said, amen. Come on, let's eat together."

2. "If you've lived any length of time, you realize that sometimes your life takes you outside the comfort zone of where you are and puts you in another venue. Some of you may have come from other nations, other countries. Some of you just may have moved out of a community into this community. Some from across state lines. And you will understand that one day you show up and nobody knows your history. Nobody knows your accomplishments. Nobody doesn't know what you've done. Nobody even knows what you're capable of." [47:22] (32 seconds) ( | | )

3. "By the way, that's one of the reasons when you go to a new community, the best thing you can do is find a church. Because at a church, we should be good at welcoming nobodies, right? Tell me your name, what do you do? Where are you from? All those kinds of, in other words, let us help you to gain a new identity in this community. We want to help you. We just don't want you to occupy a seat." [48:31] (27 seconds) ( | | )

4. "Listen, it's interesting to go through the biblical characters and see how many of them had wilderness experiences. Jesus had one, 40 days, 40 nights. That's where John the Baptist had his ministry, in the wilderness. People had to go to the wilderness. I'm just saying, listen, everybody who has a wilderness, experience, and God does various things and people in different ways. But when you find, and if, like I said, if you've come from another nation or you've moved here from out of state and you had to relaunch your life, you had to relaunch your career, you get some of this. God's here." [54:08] (39 seconds) ( | | )

5. "Servant leaders deal in the realities of the day. Number two, you see that Moses led to the promises of tomorrow. It's not enough to fix things today. You gotta have something that you're going to. And it says here, so I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians to bring them up out of the land into good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey, the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorite, Perizzites, Hittites, and Jebusites."

### Quotes for Members

1. "So, I'm going to share some things that maybe, hopefully, are new to you to help you to understand better. So, let me kind of put everything in context. Why Moses? Well, let's just talk about, first of all, when he lived. We sometimes read the Bible, and we have this mystery about, when did these people live? And we come up with some, without knowing the actuality of things, we can come up with some weird timelines. So, let's put it in the right context. We believe that Moses lived right around 1527, all the way to 1406 BC. That's our estimate." [35:45] (30 seconds) ( | | )

2. "So, you go to Deuteronomy chapter 34, verses five and six, it says, And Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in Moab, as the Lord had said, he buried him in Moab, in the valley opposite of Beth Peor, but to this day, no one knows where his grave is. So, nobody knows where Moses got buried. You know, there's a lot of places that in the Old Testament where it refers to where people were buried. We don't know exactly what happened. We don't know what happened to Moses' body." [38:00] (31 seconds) ( | | )

3. "So, I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. We're going to study all 120 years of his life. And I'm going to go year by year. No, I'm just kidding. No, I actually broke it up into three phases because what I want you to see is I really believe these phases speak to the different phases of life that we go through, okay? So read with me. Number one, read it out loud. During Moses's first 40 years, he learned how to be somebody." [45:26] (32 seconds) ( | | )

4. "So Moses is this, he's actually an official prince. He would have been a prince in Pharaoh's household. That would have given him immense, he couldn't go anywhere in Egypt and people not know who he is. And now we find this in Exodus 2. When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian where he sat down by a well. Moses didn't ever go to a well. They always brought him the water. Now he has to go get his own water. And it's in the middle of nowhere." [49:09] (33 seconds) ( | | )

5. "So the other part about his, Moses's future activity, prophetic is this, in Revelation chapter 15, okay, we read about something that happens in heaven. It says, and I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and standing beside the sea. Those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name, they held harps given them by God. See, this is where the world gets the idea that we go to heaven and we're just gonna strum harps for eternity. See, they don't read the rest of Revelation. They just kind of freeze it there and we just were playing harps. And they sang the song of God's servant, who? Moses and of the Lamb." [44:02] (42 seconds) ( | | )
