Starts Right Here

"He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous."
-Matthew 5:45 (NIV)

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33 (NIV)

The ultimate purpose in life is to make a difference.


"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" -2 Corinthians 5:17 (NIV)

“Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt- seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage. “Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven." - Matthew 5:13-16 (MSG)

How can we become salt and light to the world? How can we be representations of Jesus to those around us?

**Value People (Connecting)
Jesus valued everyone. Missions and valuing people paves the way to miracles.

“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." -Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
