Freedom Ridge Core Values Pt2

Remember, our mission is: love God, love people, change the world. Our core values help define the mission a little further. Yesterday we talked about our first core value, which is everyone is welcome; we don’t care where people have been, we’re more concerned about where they’re headed. Today, we visit our second core value …

2. Bible application

This is important, because we want to give you something on Sunday that you can use in your life on Monday. We don’t want to waste your time by telling you feel-good-stories, or just teaching you a history lesson from the Bible. The Bible is a relevant and useful book and deserves more respect than that.

It is our goal and desire to share teachings from the Bible that affect you where you live right now. We want to equip you to get the most out of life. It is just understood that we will teach from the Bible because we are a church, so I won’t go into that right now. But the key word in this core value is the word application. How does the Bible affect me today? What does Jesus mean to me in my life right now? What can I learn that will make me a better person?

Freedom Ridge will be Bible-based, practical, useful, and up-to-date.

I’ll see you back here tomorrow as we hit on a core value that will make or break Freedom Ridge. It is important that we build it into our DNA before we even get started. Until tomorrow …
