6 BBTC Core Values Nothing happens by chance! Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

7 BBTC Core Values Everything in life occurs according to Laws and Principles God has placed on this earth. These laws of life are perfect and complete in and of themselves.

8 BBTC Core Values in Our Journey in Discipleship I. Our Christian Living II. BBTC s Body Life III. Our Service and Ministry IV. Our Prayer-Life

9 I. Our Christian Living 1. Adult learning always learning Andra-gogy vs Peda-gogy 2. Posturing the heart and ears to receive (Proverbs 4:20-23).

10 I. Our Christian Living 3. Truth is caught more than taught. 4. Iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17).

11 I. Our Christian Living 5. 2-Key Themes:- A. Who am I becoming? Romans 8:29 B. Am I fulfilling God s purpose and destiny for me? Hebrews 12:1

12 I. Our Christian Living 6. We must move from the head to the heart / spirit, i.e. we must move from knowledge to revelation (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).

13 I. Our Christian Living 7. Truth itself will not set you free, it is the knowledge and application of the truth that sets you free (John 8:31-32, 36).

14 I. Our Christian Living 8. Know God and understand Him. Do not misunderstand / misrepresent Him (Jeremiah 9:24).

15 I. Our Christian Living 9. Every Jacob will find his Laban. 10. God has no grandchildren.

16 I. Our Christian Living 11. The Christian life should be calm, cool, collected, composed, Christ-Centered and rested (Galatians 5:22-23).

17 II. BBTC s Body-Life 1. BBTC is an Intentional Disciple- Making Church (IDMC). 2. Our mission is To Share Christ as we Mature in Him.

18 II. BBTC s Body-Life 3. You are here in BBTC because you agree with the purpose and mission of this church. 4. Be plugged into the body-life of BBTC, do not be a spectator.

19 II. BBTC s Body-Life 5. We want to enlarge the leadership base. More ACGLs, CGLs, CSs, COs 6. Maximum participation.

20 II. BBTC s Body-Life 7. i. Anointed worship - Celebration ii. Anointed word - Inspiration iii. Anointed altar - Transformation

21 III. Our Service and Ministry 1. We serve from the overflow of our walk with God. 2. We can only give of what we have.

22 III. Our Service and Ministry 3. Serve in the areas of your calling, giftings and portion. 4. We can only serve as much as our capacity. Grow our capacity (Spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, etc)

23 III. Our Service and Ministry 5. Serve with skilful hands and integrity of hearts (Psalm 78:72). 6. Do not get stuck on methodologies, focus on the principles and be creative (BS, Evangelism, etc).

24 III. Our Service and Ministry 7. Build depth and extend breadth. 8. Unity requires effort, it is not automatic (Ephesians 4:3).

25 III. Our Service and Ministry 9. Relationships take time and effort to build. Bond first, then serve together to build. 10. No offenses.

26 III. Our Service and Ministry 11. Keep the main thing, the main thing. 12. Faithful in little, faithful in much.

27 III. Our Service and Ministry 13. No Condemnation, No Comparison, Nor Competition but Encouragement always. 14. The pipe that carries the water will itself be wet.

28 III. Our Service and Ministry 15. BBTC is larger than any CG / Cluster or ministry. 16. The Kingdom of God is larger than the local church.

29 III. Our Service and Ministry 17. Understand that Spiritual Life must flow, it should not be blocked by a person or structure in the group.

30 III. Our Service and Ministry 18. Your Spiritual life, growth and Ministry. A. Go with the flow i.e. leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit with your given circumstances and situations.

31 III. Our Service and Ministry 18. Your Spiritual life, growth and Ministry. B. The Process is as important as the goals. C. The Journey is as important as the destination.

32 III. Christian Service and Ministry 18. Your Spiritual life, growth and Ministry. D. The message is not in the powerpoint or notes, etc.

33 D. The message is not in the powerpoint or notes, etc. The message is in Us as messengers of God. We are His delivery Men and Women. We can only Give of what we have.

34 IV. Our Prayer-Life 1. God will not intervene in our lives and situation if we do not pray. 2. Our prayers lay the tracks on which the train of God s grace runs.

35 IV. Our Prayer-Life 3. Our prayers are earthly license for heavenly intervention. 4. Our prayer is the altar we build to connect our earth to heaven.

36 IV. Our Prayer-Life 5. Our prayers create the Ladder on which God commands His angels to descend and ascend to minister to us.

37 IV. Our Prayer-Life 6. If we don t pray, then everything reverts to the natural laws of life. e.g. 1 - un-clean food vs sanctified food e.g. 2 - healing - natural or accelerated

38 IV. Our Prayer-Life 7. Our prayer of faith is the hand that reaches out to receive the grace in heaven that has been made available to us.

39 Romans 5:2 through whom (JC) also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

40 Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

41 BBTC Purpose Statement Conclusion To build a Dynamic Community church whose Head is the Lord Jesus Christ, whose Help is the Holy Spirit whose Focus is the Great Commission to the glory of God the Father.
