WHAT WE VALUE

1027 Church values people, community, worship, the Bible (God's incarnate word), prayer, and serving. In Mark 8:34 Jesus states, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." That is how we celebrate and live out the things we value...running the race called "humility." Although it is not easy or predictable, we believe the selfless life can be identified through becoming a 4T person. What is a 4T person you ask? Good question, a 4T person is someone who invests their time, talents, treasure, in the Kingdom of God and tells their story about how it has shaped their life. Check it out:

Time

"Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed."
Mark 1:35

A 4T person will spend time with God.

"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the day approaching"
Hebrews 11:25

A 4T person will spend time with the Body of Christ encouraging, serving, and loving each other.

"They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
Acts 2:42-47

As they are encouraged and loved by the Church, a 4T person will spend time with people in their community serving, hosting, and caring for their needs.

Treasure

"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."
Matthew 13:44-46

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:19-21

The 4T person will invest their money, time, and energy in the eternal things of the Kingdom of God. Following your check book and your daytimer is a good way to discover what your TREASURE is.

Talents

"The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body &em; whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free &em; and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other."


1 Corinthians 12:12-25

The 4T person understand that the talents, gifts, and passions God has given to each individual are a necessity to the Body of Christ.

Telling your Story

"But Peter and John replied, "Judge for yourselves whether it is right in God's sight to obey you rather than God. For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard."
Acts 4:19-20

The woman at the well John 4

Philip and the Ethiopian Church Acts 8
