Time of Reflection Quotations

“Truth is much more than a mere abstract fact or concept; it is inescapably relational. Even more than that, truth is a person and this person is Jesus of Nazareth.”

~Sean McDowell

“You and I need deliverance from bondage to sin and from the fatal judgment of God, and that deliverance will come only through the blood of the firstborn lamb without blemish. Just as the Passover lamb was a substitute for sinners, so too is the Lamb of God.”

~It Is Well: Expositions on Substitutionary Atonement by Mark Dever & Michael Lawrence

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”

~John 15:13

“I cry at your feet, wounded for me
And all of the monsters and men
But here in your light
We can begin again.

I’m my mother’s child
I’m my father’s son
It took me a while
But my time has come
To be born again.”

~“Born Again” by Josh Garrels

Sermon Passage

Titus 2:9-14 (ESV)

⁹ Bondservants are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, ¹⁰ not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior.

¹¹ For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, ¹² training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, ¹³ waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, ¹⁴ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.
