MARK 5:21-43 NIV

• ACCESSIBLE - Are we accessible for people dealing with matters of life and the eternal?
  

• COMPASSIONATE - Can we adjust our ears to ‘overhearing’ in the midst of the jostling?
  

• POWERFUL - Do we speak and display the power of God (life and resurrection) to people and their situations?

• They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Acts 2:42 
  

• You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you, too, are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. Ephesians 2:19-22 
  

• Now I rejoice in what I am suffering for you, and I fill up in my flesh what is still lacking in regard to Christ’s afflictions, for the sake of his body, which is the church. Colossians 1:24
  

• “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 
  

• And Paul lived there for two full years… and welcomed all who came to him, preaching and proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all openness and boldness, unhindered and unrestrained. Acts 28:30
  

• So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. 2 Thessalonians 2:15

• ORDER: ”Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end.“ ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV ”His ruling authority will grow, and there’ll be no limits to the wholeness he brings.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭7 MSG‬‬
  

• GRATITUDE: “We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.” - Charles Spurgeon

• HEALTH: Healthy things grow and then bear fruit. Fruitfulness is the goal of growth.
  

• CHARACTER: “The goal of God’s work in us is Jesus taking up residence in every part of us. No little pockets of resistance.” - Pete Scazzero
  

• PACE Love has a pace and it’s slower than you think. “Hurry is not just a disordered schedule. Hurry is a disordered heart.” - John Ortberg
  

• TESTIMONY: “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.” - G. K. Chesterton
  

• PERSPECTIVE:
  

• ETERNITY: “When we ask the present to give us what only the eternal can give, we end up driven, frustrated, discouraged, and ultimately hopeless.” - Paul David Tripp.
  

• DREAMS: “We have to dream. How else do we make a future that does not yet exist?” - Simon Sinek
  

• VISION: A people without vision are a people without a future. And a people without a future, always go back to their past.
  

• STRATEGY: "People do not decide their futures. They decide their habits, and their habits decide their futures." - F. M. Alexander
  

• IMPACT: “Productivity is overrated. What counts most is the quality of output, not the quantity. People may be impressed by the volume you produce, but impact depends on the value you create. Success isn't about getting more things done. It's about doing more worthwhile things well.” - Adam Grant
  

• PRESSURE:
