God’s Kingdom Moves at the Speed of Relationships
Our Goal in Care, Conflict Resolution, and Spiritual Development is to take a Relational Approach
1 John 4:7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. New Living Translation
1 John 4:9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. New Living Translation
1 John 4:11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. New Living Translation
1 Thessalonians 3:11 May God our Father and our Lord Jesus bring us to you very soon. 12 And may the Lord make your love for one another and for all people grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows. New Living Translation
We are One Coffee Away from Showing We Care and Being the Church
1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God chose to save us through our Lord JesusChrist, not to pour out his anger on us. 10 Christ died for us so that, whether weare dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever. 11 So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. New Living Translation
2 Corinthians 5:18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. New Living Translation
We are One Coffee Away from Resolving our Conflict and Bringing Clarity
Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. New King James Version
Ephesians 4:26 When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. 27 Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him]. Amplified Bible Classic Edition
James 5:16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. New Living Translation
We are One Coffee Away from Helping People take Their Next Step
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 8 And now the prize awaits me—the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give me on the day of his return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to his appearing. New Living Translation
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. 24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. New Living Translation
Hebrews 10:25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. New Living Translation
