Our Core Values (cont'd)
We are special and holy: 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: We are servants of God: Matthew 23:11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Matthew 20:25 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, You know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. We are co-laborers with Christ: 1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are laborers together with God: you are God's field, you are God's building. We are a friend of God - Revelation John 15:15 From now on I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. We are children of the King - Inheritance Galatians 4:7 Therefore you are no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which he has made us accepted in the beloved. We are princes and princesses not poppers We are open, transparent and intimate with God and each other: God has given each one of us spiritual gifts: 1 Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of workings, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man for profit. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another various kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But in all these works that one and same Spirit, dividing to every man individually as he will. We are benevolent and generous: 2 Corinthians 9:6 But this I say, He who sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he who sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully. We are overcomers: Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (we are victors not victims) We do things in excellence: John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for whatsoever things he does, these also does the Son likewise. We are free: John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. [PREVIOUS PAGE][BACK TO MAIN PAGE]
