1 A CHURCH THAT SPEAKS THE TRUTH IN LOVE
Ephesians 4:15-16

2 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
Week 1: *#WORSHIPISLIFE WORSHIP IS A LIFESTYLE WORSHIP IS INSPIRATION WORSHIP IS FAITH IN ACTION WORSHIP IS ETERNAL

3 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
Week 2: THE BIG IDEA: CROSSPOINTE GATHERS TOGETHER WITH ONE HEART FOR THE PURPOSE OF DECLARING GOD'S WORTH AND GOD'S GREATNESS TO ONE ANOTHER AND TO THE WORLD.

4 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
Week 3: THE BIG IDEA: CROSSPOINTE IS A CHURCH THAT LIVES IN BIBLICAL COMMUNITY SO THAT ITS PEOPLE CAN GROW IN THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD AND LIVE LIKE CHRIST.

5 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
Today's BIG IDEA: CROSSPOINTE IS A CHURCH THAT BUILDS ITSELF UP IN LOVE SO THAT THE TRUTH IS SPOKEN IN LOVE IN ORDER TO HEAL, DELIVER, AND RESTORE PEOPLE'S LIVES.

6 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” Ephesians‬ ‭4:15-16‬ ‭ESV‬‬

7 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
TRUTH WITHOUT LOVE IS BRUTALITY, BUT LOVE WITHOUT TRUTH IS HYPOCRISY. --unknown TRUTH WITHOUT LOVE IS HARSHNESS, AND LOVE WITHOUT TRUTH IS HERESY.--unknown

8 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
YOU CAN SPEAK THE TRUTH ALL YOU WANT TO, BUT IF YOUR WORDS AND ATTITUDES ARE NOT LOVING YOU ARE LIKE A SOUNDING GONG OR A CLANGING SYMBOL “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:1-2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

9 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
IF YOUR WORDS AND ATTITUDES ARE FILLED WITH LOVE, BUT YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING TRUTH, YOU ARE SPEAKING LIES, WHICH IS CONTRADICTORY TO LOVE, FOR LOVE REJOICES IN THE TRUTH “it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:6‬ ‭ESV‬

10 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
Truth and love have an intimate relationship because truth and love is who God is. “Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's Son, in truth and love.” 2 John‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

11 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
GOD MOVES WHEN TRUTH AND LOVE ARE IN ACTION TOGETHER.

12 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
THEREFORE SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE IS NECESSARY BECAUSE IT ALLOWS GOD TO MOVE THEREFORE ALLOWING GOD TO BRING HEALING, DELIVERANCE, AND RESTORATION. (Kingdom Concept: We desire healing, deliverance, and restoration to all who come so they can fulfill their God-given destiny.)

13 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
THERE'S A SUBMISSION THAT MUST TAKE PLACE IN ORDER TO SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE. A SUBMISSION TO THE TRUTH AND A SUBMISSION TO HIS LOVE.

14 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
Are you submitted to His truth and to His love? Or are you submitted to the culture’s definition of love and truth? Through submission to his truth, we grow to know the truth and through submission to his love, we grow to know his love for us and we share this love with others.

15 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
You become unequally yoked when there is lack of submission to truth and love. You become yoked to the culture's definition of truth and love instead of being yoked to God's definition of truth and love.

16 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
TODAY CROSSPOINTE SUBMITS TO TRUTH AND LOVE SO THAT WE CAN SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT KEEPS US BALANCED AND HEALTHY AND IT ALLOWS FOR OUR BIBLICAL COMMUNITY TO BE FRUITFUL. IT ALLOWS FOR THE CHURCH TO MOVE AND FUNCTION ACCORDING TO ITS PURPOSE.

17 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
IF OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS BEING LIKE CHRIST THAN WE MUST LEARN TO SPEAK THE TRUTH IN LOVE FOR JESUS ALWAYS SPOKE THE TRUTH IN LOVE, EVEN WHEN HE WAS DIRECT AND CUT RIGHT TO THE POINT WITH PEOPLE. “You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” Matthew‬ ‭12:34‬ ‭ESV‬‬

18 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
Jesus is left alone with her and ask her the following: “Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more." ]]”. John‬ ‭8:10-11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

19 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
WHAT IS LOVE?

20 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13:4-8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

21 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
TODAY CROSSPOINTE BUILDS UP A LOVE THAT IS PATIENT AND KIND. A LOVE THAT IS NOT BOASTFUL OR ENVIOUS. A LOVE THAT IS NOT SELFISH, NOR IRRITABLE OR RESENTFUL. A LOVE THAT DOES REJOICE AT WRONGDOING BUT A LOVE THAT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. A LOVE THAT BEARS ALL THINGS, BELIEVES ALL THINGS, HOPES ALL THINGS, AND ENDURES ALL THINGS. A LOVE THAT NEVER ENDS.

22 STRATEGY 2 : INWARD THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP AND CONNECTION
BIG IDEA: CROSSPOINTE IS A CHURCH THAT BUILDS ITSELF UP IN LOVE SO THAT THE TRUTH IS SPOKEN IN LOVE IN ORDER TO HEAL, DELIVER, AND RESTORE PEOPLE'S LIVES. Will you submit to His truth and His love in order to participate in His work of speaking the truth in love that heals, delivers, and restores people’s lives?
