Classes 7 & 8:
The Crossroads
A Vision of Unity
•“There is one body and one Spirit -just as you were
called to one hope when you were called -one Lord,
one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all,
who is over all and through all and in all.”
-Ephesians 4:4-6
•“I have given them the glory that you gave me, that
they may be one as we are one; I in them and you in
me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the
world know that you sent me and have loved them
even as you have loved me.” - John 17:22-23
Commitment to Scripture
•“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for
teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in
righteousness, so that the man of God may be
thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
• -2 Timothy 3:16
Commitment to worship
as a transforming act
•“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of
Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and
your children and for all who are far off -for all whom the
Lord our God will call.” With many other words he warned
them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this
corrupt generation.” Those who accepted his message were
baptized, and about 3,000 were added to their number that
day.” -Acts 2:38-41
Passion for evangelism
•Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in
heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Therefore, go and make disciples of all nation,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to
obey everything I have commanded you. And
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the
age.”
-Matthew 28:18-20
Strength of the local church
•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 10:25
•But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a
holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you
may declare the praises of him who called you out
of darkness into his wonderful light. -1 Peter 2:9
Passion for Christian
education
•Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s
mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy
and pleasing to God -this is your spiritual act of
worship.
-Romans 12:1
