Memorable Quotes

Here are a few memorable quotes from the first week.

Joe Davis, speaking about Jesus' words in Matthew 11:28-30 spoke about how young oxen are trained by being put into the yoke with an older, bigger, more experienced ox.

"The little ox doesn't pull anything. All he has to do is learn the yoke. The burden is all on the big ox."

Do you want to be a disciple of Christ? In Luke 14, three times Jesus says you can't be his disciple. "Verse 33 kicks most people right out the door. . . . He's not trying to keep people from being disciples. He's showing us what the path of discipleship is."

"Americans have so much stuff we're trying to get rid of some of the stuff so we can get more stuff."

"How can we make disciples if we are not disciples?"

"Christ is first. . . . He makes the choices. . . . He owns it all. . . . One of those three will knock most people out of the race."

"There are many things you can know about the Bible, but there are many things you will never understand until you give your life to the Gospel."

From Jonathan Quinn:

"God's priority is to redeem fallen man, not make us happy and comfortable."

"We think the community we live in is the world, but Jesus died for everyone on the face of the globe."

"We think the call to serve God is something only a few people have, but the call is to the world, and we're all responsible."

"There is going to have to be some suffering that has to take place in order to get the Gospel out to the world."
