Core Value 3: Overflowing Ministry
Because God is at work in us, we value loving others as we have been loved by God.
Luke 11:13; John 17:23; Galatians 5:22; 1 John 4:19
Love is the multifaceted fruit of the Spirit that reveals God’s joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control; salvation that works out in me to others. We love because God first loved us. God loves to give His Spirit to those who ask Him.
Overflowing Ministry - Gal. 5:6, 22-24 1. Faith that works 2. Fruit of the Spirit 3. Fruit-full of love

Core Value 2: Faith ‘Receives’ from Christ
Because God is at work in us, we are receiving grace upon grace. Deuteronomy 31:6; John 14:18; Romans 5:20; Colossians 2:6
Faith more than believes; faith actively and presently receives from Christ’s work. Jesus knows our weakness. When we are weak, He is strong. We can trust Him, and actually move out in weakness while resting in His strength.
Faith ‘Receives’ from Christ - Col. 2:6-7 1. Therefore as you received 2. Christ Jesus as Lord 3. So walk in Him
Date: 2013-07-14 Series: Core Values Scripture: 2 Cor. 7:1-10 Sermon given by: Mike Graham
Because God is at work in us, we enjoy repentance. Psalm 32; Isaiah 30:15; Acts 11:18; 2 Corinthians 7:10; Philippians 3:9
Repentance is to be enjoyed as a gracious gift from God. Because the remedy for sin is Christ, we run to Christ with our sin rather than avoid Christ by running from our sin. Our “anxious fears” and “offensive ways” break intimacy with God and others. Because the heart is deceitfully wicked, we are blind to this organic sin network driving our behaviors and desires. Seeing our sin initially feels painful. However, we discover deep joy as the barriers to intimacy with God are removed and the joy of our salvation restored. A Christian repents not only of his bad deeds, but also the reasons for doing good works.
