Ephesians 3:17b-20
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us."
VALUES:
Christ (2 Cor 5:17; Gal. 2:20) He is the driving force of our life and is the cornerstone, which firmly ground us.
Bible (2 Tim. 3:16; Joshua 1:8) It is the inerrant word of God, which is still living and active in our life. This is foundational to the growth of our lives.
Prayer (John 15:7; Phil 4:6-7) It is our direct line of communication to our heavenly father. Prayer shows our dependence on God on him.
Community (Matt 18:20; Hebrews 10:24-25) Unity is vital in our christian walk to provide mutual encouragement, admonition, and strength in our growth.
