3. OUTREACH Incarnational Living

4. OUTREACH The Spirit of the Lord is upon ME, Because HE anointed ME to preach the gospel to the poor. HE has sent ME to proclaim release to the captives, And recovery of sight to the blind, TO set free those who are oppressed,19 TO proclaim the favorable year of the Lord." Luke 4:18-19

5. OUTREACH Four Freedoms: Freedom from Self –free to be poor. Freedom from Spiritual Blindness – free to see. Freedom from Spiritual Bruises – free to be oppressed. Freedom from Sin’s Power – free to celebrate.

6. OUTREACH And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. 2 And He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to perform healing. 3 And He said to them, " Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece. Luke 9:1-5

7. OUTREACH 4 Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city. 5 And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them." 6 Departing, they began going… Luke 9:1-5

8. OUTREACH I agree…. to go where Jesus says…. and do what He says… using His power. “Tune your ear to hear the voice of God, Listen and obey, trusting only in Him.”

12. INVOLVEMENT Each Part Doing Its Work

13. INVOLVEMENT but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love. Ephesians 4:15-16

14. INVOLVEMENT 100% Involvement: Maximizes effectiveness. Maximizes potential. Maximizes spiritual growth. Maximizes facility

15. INVOLVEMENT So we built the wall and the whole wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work. Nehemiah 4:6

16. INVOLVEMENT For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:12-13

17. INVOLVEMENT But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked, 25 so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. 1 Corinthians 12:24-26

18. INVOLVEMENT Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it. 1 Corinthians 12:7

19. INVOLVEMENT Body Principles: 1.We are all the same. 2.We are all different. 3.It is best when we go in the same direction. 4. When one part hurts we all hurt.
