1 Timothy 6:15 :: which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords ::

- If you hear your name in conversation more than you hear "the holy spirit" your congregation won't go anywhere!
- Do I say "I'll follow only if..?" or "I'll follow even if..?"
- I never read the book of Acts, put it down and go, "that's just like us!"
- Our churches are so stoppable today!

Acts 4:13 :: When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. ::

- When do I pray for boldness? When do we pray for boldness?
- Exegesis vs. Isogesis
- If you started with scripture, would you come up with church the way we do it?
- I was taught to teach exegetically, but I wasn't taught to live that way.

John 6:63 :: The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. ::

- It is not my flesh at all, but God's spirit.
