Sermon Notes
“The metaphors ‘rooted’ and ‘growing’ refer to the mystery of Growth and of Life that sustains the Church. The metaphors ‘body,’ ‘joints,’ ‘babies,’ and ‘measure of maturity’ point to the One New Man who shall no more bear the signs of infancy.” –Markus Barth
“God became man to turn creatures into sons: not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man. It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better but like turning a horse into a winged creature.” –C.S. Lewis
“The Holy Spirit is the shy member of the Trinity…The Holy Spirit constantly turns the spotlight off himself and shines it on the God-man (Jesus Christ). Any moving of the Holy Spirit, therefore, that does not lead people to Christ is not the moving of the Spirit of God.” –F. Dale Bruner
“Without forgiveness, there’s no future.” –Desmond Tutu
