LOVE GOD

Matthew 22:36-38 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment.”

LOVE OTHERS

Luke 10:27 “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.’”

Jesus saw the church as something different.

SERVE OTHERS

Luke 13:14-15 “Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.”
Mark 10:45 “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

EFFECTIVE MINISTRY - REMAIN IN CHRIST TO BEAR GOOD FRUIT

John 15:16-17 “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other.

IMMERSED IN THE COMMUNITY

Matthew 9:11-12 “When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?" On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.”

EQUIP GOD’S PEOPLE

Hebrews 10:24 “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”

BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES

2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

LSI philosophy: Empower a discouraged pastor with tools and inspiration to lead his church and the result is a transformed body of believers that are motivated to serve their community with the Love of Jesus Christ.”
