it seeks to live out that calling.

DNA of LifePointe and form
the culture and context
of our church.

24. Practical, tangible,
continual paying it forward

25. This is how we know what love
is: Christ gave his life for us.
We too, then, ought to lay down
our lives for our brothers and
sisters! If we have possessions
and see others in need,

26. yet close our hearts against
them, how can we claim that
we love God? Our love must
not be just words and talk;
it must be true love, which
show itself in action!

without faith, without
depending on him.
(Hebrews 11:1, 6 – Living Bible)

the most necessary . . .

Body, and each one of you

it takes” mindset

will let me tell him about
Christ and let Christ save him.

to them and for the blessing
I receive when I see them
come to Christ.
