Friends become wiser together through a healthy clash of viewpoints.

Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin. Without the gospel we’re motivated through all sorts of awful fear and pride to change and it doesn’t really change our hearts; it just restrains our hearts.

Jesus was much more interested in the quality of the people's response to him than in the quantity of the crowd.

Jesus cannot be just liked. His claims make us either kill him or crown him.

We are called not simply to communicate the gospel to nonbelievers; we must also intentionally celebrate the gospel before them.

Living is giving....If you spend your money on yourself, you are just surviving. But if you want your life to count, if you want to really live - give.

In the church we have to deliberately let ourselves be transparent and accountable to others. We're a family.
