### Quotes for Outreach

1. "Have you ever heard somebody say, well, I'm going to hell anyway? Does it ever just kind of, kind of maybe shoot you? Like a, I don't know, even a spear through the heart. I've heard a couple of people in my life say that to me and I don't even know what to say. Because why would you want to do that willingly, right? Why would you want to live your life in a way that that's where you're going? But then I was talking to a guy about four years ago. We had a small group and we got together in a park and we were having a picnic and one of them brought one of her friends and, you know, I'm talking to him and he said, you know, I've just done so many bad things. Bad things in my life. I don't understand. God can't forgive me for that. Maybe I'm just on my way to hell. And I tried to talk to him about it and, you know, I think I just came to the realization through him that maybe people just don't understand that we have grace."

2. "We have forgiveness. You know, we have the throne that we can approach. You know, Hebrews 4.16 tells us the throne room is wide open. Come boldly to it with confidence. And there we're going to find our grace and mercy in times of great need. And that's really the message. The message we as Christians have to get out to people, right? That there is hope, that there's not just nothing and we have to concede to this. I'm going to hell anyway and continuing on this life that is destructive and will leave us there if we don't do something." [25:44](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "If you know someone that you have fear is not saved and they're going to end up in the lake of fire, you really need to get some urgency in you, right? You need to go talk to them. If you yourself have not, you need to get things right with God, like today, okay? I want you to think about a few things. Hell is very real. I hope that the story didn't just hitch in the side of the head or silence you or scare you. I hope that it will open your eyes that hell is very real and we need to rescue people from hell as many as we can, okay?" [43:05](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4. "You can repent, turn from your old ways, your old self, face Christ, follow him, have faith, and let him save you, okay? Ephesians 2 talks about how we're dead in our sins and on our way to hell, but then enter the picture, grace. And we just have to put our faith in him, and he'll give us all the grace that we need. And we can't do this by any, any, works. You know, Paul tells us, not by works, so that no one can boast. And we see that living out here at this great white throne judgment, because the books were opened with all their good works. Didn't do them any good. Their name wasn't in the, in the book of life, okay?" [46:58](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


5. "You just have to repent of your sins, you know, just turn away from them. Let them go. It's hard. Some will still chase after you, but you know, you put your faith in Jesus Christ, you ask him to save you, you ask him to forgive you, you follow him. And throughout life, maybe some of those things that were heavy get a little bit lighter, a little bit easier, as he grows you and grows you and pulls you away from your old self and rebuilds you as this new self, you know? And then you can go and be his workmanship, his workmanship in Christ." [46:58](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


### Quotes for Members

1. "So at this point, we've gone through all the judgments, you know, the trumpets, the bowls, the antichrist and the unholy trinity have risen. There's a mystery Babylon city that pops up as you'll see. Lots of events. It's just, you know, the great tribulation, not a good time. But now we're at the end of all of that. So verse 11, then I saw heaven open to behold a white horse, the one sitting on it called faithful and true. And in righteousness in he judges and makes war. So again, we're wrapping up the tribulation period. We're going to move to this, this thousand year millennial period, which we're going to dig into Jesus. He's coming on his white stallion. The first time he came, he came into Jerusalem on that Palm Sunday on a colt. At that time, a colt meant the king was coming for peace talks, basically he was coming in peace. But when they came in riding on a white stallion, it is all out war. Jesus came in peace. Once he's not going to do it again, he's going to come back and he's going to take a, take care of business."

2. "Several things are apparent after the thousand years, some nations are going to survive the tribulation period and live into the millennium. Children are going to continue to be born to the people of earth. Christ will rule during the millennium with a rod of iron and mankind will rebel against Christ despite the blessing of the millennium. I mean, maybe we just don't get it, right? So first nine and they marched up over the broad plane of the earth, surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, Jerusalem. But fire came down from heaven and consume them and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire. And sulfur where the beast and fault profit were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever forever is not only a long time, it is never ending. It is forever. They're not going to ever get out of this." [34:31](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "Then I saw a great white throne in him who is seated on it from his presence, earth and sky fled away and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead great and small standing before the throne and the books were opened. Then another book was open. Which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books according to what they had done. So imagine that everything just fades away around you. You're just, you're in this, before this great white throne, there's a table with some books. It's a little courtroom, just you and this judge, you know, Jesus, your judge, and they've got out, he's got all these books open and he's going through your life, you know, and you're being judged according to your works. And we're all found guilty. Every single one of us. But if you've accepted Christ, your name is in the book of life and you get a pass. Why wouldn't you want to take that pass?"

4. "And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of men who have rebelled against me, for their worms shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be in abhorrence to all flesh. Isaiah was prophesying about the very end of time. This is after the judgment, after, oh, I don't have the timeline up there anymore, sorry. You get things stuck in your head. But it's that eternal state where we're just living on the new heaven and new earth forever. And apparently there's another chasm, just like we read about in Luke 16, and we'll be able to see this. Why? I don't know. I always wonder, why are we going to be able to see this? But perhaps it's a reminder never to let this happen again, never to do this, keep ourselves in check, keep our eyes on God forever." [50:49](Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
