Sermon Notes
“To Thee I run now with great expectation/To honor You with trust like a child/My hopes and desires seek a new destination/and all that You ask Your grace will provide.” -Sandra McCracken (Grace Upon Grace)
“If we say, ‘I believe in Jesus,’ but it doesn’t affect the way we live, the answer is not that now we need to add hard work to our faith so much as that we haven’t truly understood or believed in Jesus at all.” -Tim Keller
“We don’t learn to be children of God by trying really hard or by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps as individuals. Instead, we enter into a reality created by God’s own word where we find our lives not in our own efforts or moral discipline but in Jesus Christ.” -J. Todd Billings
“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.”-Meister Eckhart
