### Quotes for Outreach
1. "There's going to be hard times. But we know how the story ends. We know that Jesus is fully going to defeat death. So we weep, we sorrow, we grieve, we miss those people who have passed away before us. I miss them, too. But we know that that is not the end of the story. We know that the stinger of death is going to be taken away. We know that we'll be transformed." [33:28]
2. "Welcome to Grove Church, and happy Mother's Day to those who celebrate. This is Pastor Steve, and this is Grove Church's online service. We're going to be wrestling with life and death and eternal life. And as we look at the book of 1 Corinthians, we have a children's message for the kids. Also, we have some songs of worship. So welcome to Grove Church Online." [01:49]
3. "I have a lot of people I care about here, and maybe you have some people, some loved ones for you at this cemetery or a cemetery like it. Today in our Bible verse, Paul, he's an apostle, he's writing a letter to the church in Corinth, and he's reminding them that death is not the end. I know it's hard sometimes to say goodbye to people we love, but the Bible reminds us that that is not the end, that one day we will be with them together again." [04:57]
### Quotes for Members
1. "Do not get discouraged. Devote yourself fully to the work of the Lord because your labor is not in vain. Because that's the direction we're going to. You're early, you're early on the trend of eternity. Other people don't see value in it. But one day they will. So don't, don't. Your labor is not in vain. The work, the holiness you're trying to foster, the ways of God that you're trying to live out. Jesus wins." [34:30]
2. "For I am least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God, I am what I am. And his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them. Not yet, not I, but the grace of God that was with me. Whether then it is I or they, this is what we preach. And this is what you believed." [16:12]
3. "Listen, I tell you a mystery. We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality." [25:41]
4. "The resurrection of Christ was not done overnight. It was not done directly from the tomb. If you were to fabricate a story about the resurrection of Jesus, you would have as few witnesses as possible. It would be secret and super spiritual events that not many people could witness or talk about. But no, the death of Jesus on the cross was a public spectacle, by hundreds of people. And so was his resurrection, because he walked around 40 days teaching and eating and fellowshipping and breaking bread." [14:15]
