"God, we thank you that you are a God who is over all peoples in different languages. As I'm humbled to hear songs and prayers and your word in another language, it humbles me to remind me that you are bigger than me and my language and my preferences. And so help us as your people, your children, to see how big you are and join what you are doing to reach all people." [00:33:30] (30 seconds)
"That God is a good and gracious provider, and that God, in his vision for us as his people, is bigger than ourselves. Because something that was impossible for our own understanding was made possible by this God who has a bigger view of this world than we do. And the way that God worked in our history in the early 2000s is still the way that God is at work today." [00:36:42] (41 seconds)
"If you've ever spent time reading all of the psalms 150 of them You'll notice one of the repeated themes is that God's glory, His reign is over the whole earth. This is not a God contained to an angel, a small village, a city, or even a country. Because this God created everything in existence, his glory and his reign exists and is supposed to exist everywhere." [00:38:03] (43 seconds)
"The first thing you see is that his grace expressed in blessing and grace and his face, they do come to us and we do receive it. And then there's that word, which we don't know exactly what it means because no one truly knows, 世拉。 But best guess is that this is a word that means to stop and consider and pause and think about." [00:40:16] (33 seconds)
"I think many of us, even if you come from a Cantonese cultural background, your country of origin is not the United States, we still are impacted by Western culture. I recently went to Hong Kong, and I saw some of the Western influences with the British presence that was in Hong Kong still lingering in that country. And so many of us, we have and live and breathe in Western society." [00:42:08] (35 seconds)
"If you look at the theme of blessing and God's grace throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, one big category of this blessing is God's approval and presence. Think of little children when they are at Christmas time. As consumers, we tend to think of Christmas emphasizing the gifts that we receive. And often we forget the gift giver." [00:44:16] (54 seconds)
"God designed us to want the attention of our parents as a reflection of being created to want His presence and approval. Think of how so many of us, even though we may be adults, maybe we're 70 years old, but we still long for the approval and presence of our parents who may be in their 90s." [00:47:38] (27 seconds)
"Grace was not meant to stop with us, but to go out from us to everybody. We are not just recipients, we are also messengers, ambassadors, we are heralds of the gospel. If you notice, whenever God blesses someone in the Bible, It never is supposed to stop with them." [00:53:02] (43 seconds)
"Social science research is showing us, if you give your kids too many blessings, too much prosperity, and too much opportunity, without sacrifice, without giving it away, they actually begin to rot. God's grace was not meant to stop with us." [01:00:03] (35 seconds)
