Scriptural mandate:
John 10:10. Jesus said: The thief comes but for to steal, kill and destroy; I am come that you might have life
(Live Well) and that in all its fulness.
John 4:14. Jesus said: Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give them, shall never thirst,
but the water that I give them will become in them a fountain (well) of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 7:38. Jesus said: He who believes in Me as the scripture has said, out of his belly
(heart) will flow rivers of life giving water.
The bible is clear that to live well
we are to express love in three directions. As a consequence of this we will become a life giving well. We are to love God wholeheartedly, ourself wholeheartedly, and as a result we are then capable of loving
others wholeheartedly.
God said to the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:7.): ‘The LORD does not see as man sees; for
mankind looks at the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart.’
Our mission and values are therefore to support the objective of bringing each individual
to the place where they understand that it is Christ in them that is the basis upon which they can live victoriously, and
therefore teach others to live in this way also. The apostle Paul said: ‘Be imitators of me, even as I am an imitator
of Christ.’
Mission Statement: To be a significant an impacting church, by teaching people to live
well that they might become a life giving well.
10 Values for Living Well
Values
Scriptures for Living Well.
Love 1 John 3:16-17.
By this we know
LOVE, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our life for our brothers.
But
whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of
God abide in him.
Indivuality Psalm
139:14. I will praise you, for I am fearfully and marvellously made. Marvellous are you works, AND that my soul
knows very well.
Virtue
Ephesians 1:4. God chose
us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him in Love.
Integrity
Ecclesiastes
5:4-5. When you make a vow to God, do
not delay to perform it; For He has no pleasure in those who are foolish. Pay what you have vowed. It is better not to vow, than to vow and not
carry it out.
Nothing Else. Mathew 6:33. But seek
first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added unto you.
Generosity 2 Corrinthians 9:7-8. So let each one give as
he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. AND God is able to make all
grace abound toward you, that you having all suffiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
Works and Word 2Tim.3:16,
James 2:20-22
1.All
scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction & for instruction
in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2.But do you want to know
O foolish man, that faith without works is dead.Faith works together with works, and by works faith is made complete.
Evangelism
John3:16, Acts1:8. 1.God loved the
world so much that He gave His only Begotten Son that whoever believed in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 2.You shall receive power after the
Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to ME.
Looks

saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.
Loyalty

that you be loyal to each other just as I have been loyal to you. By this loyalty to each other, shall others know that you
are my disciples.
