​TEACHING: "TALK ABOUT IT!"
- Teaching is instructing through The Word of GOD & the wisdom of GOD from past experiences & insights.

SHOWING: "BE ABOUT IT!"​​
- Living into & inviting others with you as you practice what it looks like to follow JESUS in everyday life.

​WE TEND TO JUDGE OURSELVES BASED ON OUR INTENTIONS.
WE TEND TO JUDGE OTHERS BASED ON THEIR FAILURES/SHORTCOMINGS.
IT’S NOT ABOUT ARRIVING BUT A COMMITMENT TO CONSISTENCY IN CLOSING THE GAP!

​​​INTEGRITY
Titus 2:7b “Showing yourself to be a pattern of good works…”
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever
James 1:17

​SERIOUSNESS
“When we take ourselves too seriously, we will not take GOD seriously enough!”
Matthew 23:1-3 NIV

SOUNDNESS OF SPEECH
Luke 6:45 MSG “You don’t get wormy apples off a healthy tree, nor good apples off a diseased tree. The health of the apple tells the health of the tree. You must begin with your own life-giving lives. It’s who you are, not what you say and do, that counts. Your true being brims over into true words and deeds.

“All the persons of faith I know are sinners, doubters, uneven performers. We are secure not because we are sure of ourselves, but because we trust that God is sure of us.” - Eugene Peterson ​
