- The deity of Christ can be defined as all of God was in all of Jesus.
- When Christ came, he was NOT:
- An “assistant” God – He was God!
- An “associate” God – He was God!
- Vice-God – He was God!
- Co-God – He was God!
- From the Book, Let the Nations Be Glad! The Supremacy of God in Missions by John Piper
- “Missions is not the ultimate goal of the Church, worship is.
- Missions exists because worship doesn’t.
- Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man.
- Worship…is the fuel and goal of missions.”
- “God is my fullness, His absence my emptiness.” -E. Stanley Jones
- God doesn’t see our forgiven sin and the stains our sins left on us. He sees the stains on the cross that his blood left.
- He doesn’t see the misery my sin caused, He sees the misery that His Son experienced on the cross.
- When Jesus was nailed to the cross, so was our sin.
- “When I look at me I see what I’ve done. When God looks at me He sees what He did for me!” -Unknown
- “Victorious living does not mean freedom from temptation, nor does it mean freedom from mistakes.” -E. Stanley Jones

- “Only A relationship totally centered in Jesus Christ is adequate to meet the constant pressures and tensions of daily life.” – Gary Demarist
- You should be seeing how much you can be like Christ in heaven, not how much you can be like the world and still get into heaven.
- It’s amazing how some people live like HELL here and want to live like HEAVEN in eternity!
- Faith is WHAT we believe and HOW we believe.
- I’m afraid many are more concerned today with finding Pokemon than they are finding God.

- If we grow in the knowledge of God’s Word, it highly probable that we will grow in the Wisdom of God’s Word.
- If we DO NOT grow in the knowledge of God’s Word, it is impossible to grow in the Wisdom of God’s Word.
- Satan is not going to come walking thru the front door with a marching band led by flags and streamers. He will come into your life through the cracks and crevices.
- When Satan deceives you, he won’t put you on his knee and comfort you and tell you it will be OK and help you through the consequences. He’s going to laugh at you and try to coerce you into a deeper state of the mess you are already in.
- “One leak will sink a ship and one sin will destroy a sinner. ” -John Bunyan
- As your Pastor, I will hold your hand and help you when you fall. But I had much rather hand you water as you are running this marathon.
- “Sin has a diminishing factor to it. It always gives its best in the beginning. It never gets better after that … it only gets worse.” -Mark Aulson
