Time of Reflection Quotations

“God loves human beings. God loves the world. Not an ideal human, but human beings as they are; not an ideal world, but the real world. What we find repulsive in their opposition to God, what we shrink back from with pain and hostility… this is for God the ground of unfathomable love.”

~Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), German pastor and theologian

“You either walk inside your own story and own it, or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.”

~Brene Brown, research professor and author

“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”

~John Piper, pastor and theologian

“I am burdened with glorious purpose.”

~Loki, Marvel’s Avengers

“You only call me when you need something, when you want a little free something. That’s not what friends do…”

~Andy Mineo (hip-hop artist and producer) “Friends”

Sermon Passage

Matthew 22:34-40 (NASB)

³⁴ But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. ³⁵ And one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him: ³⁶ “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” ³⁷ And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ ³⁸ This is the great and foremost commandment. ³⁹ The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ⁴⁰ Upon these two commandments hang the whole Law and the Prophets.”
