CHECK Yourself
The Church is the PEOPLE who are brought into the same FAMILY through faith in Jesus.
Victory is a place and a people who embrace and embody the VALUES God has called us to live out. VALUES are HOW we do what we do.
Acts 1:8 NIV
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
2 Corinthians 2:2-3 MSG
“Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read by just looking at you. Christ himself wrote it—not with ink, but with God’s living Spirit; not chiseled into stone but carved into human lives—and we publish it.”
The Values of Victory
- Courageous: What the world needs now is COURAGEOUS people!
Joshua 1:9 NIV
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
We are those who walk by FAITH and not by SIGHT.
The Values of Victory
- Courageous
- Humble
Philippians 2:3-8 NLT
“Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.”
Jesus embodied humility. He loved the unlovable & touched the untouchable. He took the least seat at the table. He’s the One who wrapped a towel around His waist & washed feet… He’s used His TITLE as a TOWEL.
The Values of Victory
- Courageous
- Humble
- Empowering: Jesus says, “As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you.”
2 Timothy 2:2 NIV
“And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.”
The Values of Victory
- Courageous
- Humble
- Empowering
- Connected: Jesus walked slowly through the crowds. He laughed with people. He stopped by for dinner. After service, Jesus would go out to eat. He loved people up close. He was CONNECTED…
Mark 3:14 NIV
“He appointed twelve that they might be with him…”
As Christ followers, we have to be close & connected to people.
The Values of Victory
- Courageous
- Humble
- Empowering
- Connected
- Kind: One of the best gifts you can give people is kindness.
Ephesians 4:31-32 NLT
“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.Instead, be KIND to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.”
“Be kinder than necessary, because everyone is fighting some kind of battle.”
—John Watson
