Sermon Update

“That’s always what people who genuinely experience Jesus do, is they have to tell people…when we finally get face to face with Jesus it’s not like ‘I saw what you did the other day! You need to stop doing this, you little sinner!’ No, when we finally get face to face with the real Jesus he says “I see your hurts, I see your pains. I am moved with the deepest form of compassion possible and how about we start a journey of healing now.‘” – Chris Rattay

“It is the love of God that is unique and different from any other kind of love that we see in this world…This kind of love, this transformation that comes from it, can only happen as we displace ourselves…As we take ourselves out of comfort and put ourselves in an uncomfortable situation, that’s God led, so that he can actually change us.” – Chris Rattay

“You see, because Jesus was without sin he is literally the perfect sacrifice for our sins. If I or any one else tried to die for your sins it wouldn’t work because we, they, would die for their own sins. We need someone who is without sin to save us. That’s why we need Jesus.” – David Kitani

“There are many people all around us who are in that moment where their souls are crying for God and they’re waiting for somebody who knows Jesus to say ‘I resonate with your story. I know the answer’. God has many people around us so we cannot let some awkward conversation or a family member who’s mocking us keep us in the boat, in the huddle.” – Chris Rattay
