Tom Richter gave some great messages throughout the conference. He definitely knows how to communicate and break the Bible down in a very easy to understand manner.
Here are some of the things he spoke about:
- The Greatest Commandment
- Matthew 13:44 -- Parable of the Hidden Treasure
"God is not taking something FROM you, he's getting something TO you."
"Girls always like to find a bargain, God is not one."
Story of the pearl necklace... if it means so much to you...Tiffany necklace. - Romans 3:10 -- "There is no one righteous, no not one."
If you worship worthless things, you become worthless.
Righteousness = Perfection - The Corinthian Grid -- What does the Bible say about...?
Things are bad, Christ is hope.
