7. Biblical Foundation
Ephesians 3:16-19, NIV
―For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom
every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I
pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen
you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so
that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I
pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may
have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, 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.‖

18. 2013 BHAG GOALS

19. Our Goals Must Face the Challenge of these Questions
If our church closed down tomorrow,
would anyone notice? Would there be
a negative impact on our community?

20. A Simple Purpose Fuels the Heart Of A Difference - Maker
―I have noticed that Jesus was prepared
to do something, had a simple purpose
behind what He did, and did not let pain
hinder Him. He also utilized the Holy Spirit
power and was fueled by a passion to
never quit.‖
-Miles McPherson, Rock Church

21. A Challenging Question
Jesus said of true believers in Matthew
7:16, ―You will know them by their fruit.‖
If God can bring about practical change in
our individual lives, why can’t we bring
about practical change and improvement
in our communities?
Going deep means loving others well!
