  1. the CODE 1 Peter 2:9

  2. Our Purpose Statement: We are a Family of Friends, who Passionately Love God, and seek to Share His Love with those who know Him and those who don’t, as we Grow Together to be like Christ.

  3. Our goal is to experience for ourselves and to help others come to… KNOW GOD FIND FREEDOM DISCOVERPURPOSEMAKE a DIFFERENCE This is how we measure if we are truly making an IMPACT!

  4. [I] do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power (Ephesians 1:16-19 NKJV)

  5. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God's] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9 AMP)

  6. t h e C O D E AUTHENTIC Real, Transparent, Genuine, & True to the Heart of GOD Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live whole and healed... (James 5:16a MSG)

  7. t h e C O D E ACCEPTING Embracing all mankind with God’s Love regardless to a person’s condition, past, or behavior Hearing this, Jesus said: "It is not those who are in health that need a doctor, but those who are ill. I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast." (Mark 2:17 TCNT)

  8. t h e C O D E EXCELLENT An attitude that always drives for top quality for the benefit of God & others In all the work you are doing, work the best you can. Work as if you were doing it for the Lord, not for people. (Colossians 3:23 NCV)

  9. t h e C O D E GENEROUS A mental, emotional, & life commitment that thinks “others” first instead of “me” or “us.” And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls, even if loving you more and more, I am loved the less. (2 Corinthians 12:15 MKJV)

  10. t h e C O D E GRATEFUL A never-ending consciousness of how blessed we are and how valuable every person is around us …let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. (Hebrews 13:15 NKJV)

  11. t h e C O D E POWERFUL An utter dependence upon the presence and anointing of God in & for all things

  12. If GOD hadn’t been for us —all together now, Israel, sing out!— If GOD hadn’t been for us when everyone went against us, We would have been swallowed alive by their violent anger, Swept away by the flood of rage, drowned in the torrent; We would have lost our lives in the wild, raging water. Oh, blessed be GOD! He didn’t go off and leave us. He didn’t abandon us defenseless, helpless as a rabbit in a pack of snarling dogs. We’ve flown free from their fangs, free of their traps, free as a bird. Their grip is broken; we’re free as a bird in flight. GOD ’s strong name is our help, the same GOD who made heaven and earth. Psalm 124:1-8 MSG t h e C O D E

  13. t h e C O D E Relevant A commitment to relate to others in a way that is significant and appealing to them

  14. For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you. (1 Corinthians 9:19-23 NKJV) t h e C O D E

  15. Next Week: Make a strong concerted effort to bring or invite someone with you that does not know God, questions their relationship with God or has major questions about God.
