The Great Commandment
37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 22:37-40

The Great Commission
And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Mark 16:15-18

Do You Believe?
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 3:36

and I also say to you that you are Peter (Petros – Small Rock), and on this rock (Petra – Large Boulder) I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:18

Values That Support Our Vision

1. Think Big

​But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the ​people, for they are stronger than we.” 32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad ​report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have ​gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it ​are men of great stature. 33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came ​from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in ​their sight.”
Numbers 13:31-33

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ​ask or ​think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the ​church ​by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
