Heart Behind All We Do

• Joy: Smile at everyone you encounter. “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” Phil 4:4 (NIV) “In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Ps 16:11 (ESV)
• Enthusiasm: Be enthusiastic about your role, the church, and what God is doing in your life and in the church. “Zeal for your house has consumed me…” Ps 69:9 (ESV) “I was overjoyed when they said, ‘Let’s go up to the house of the Lord.’” Ps 122:1 (TPT)
• Encouragement: Be encouraging with your countenance, words, and actions to the team and everyone you connect with. “So encourage each other and build each other up…” 1 Thess 5:11 (NLT) “…Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out.” 1 Thess 5:15 (MSG)
• Love and Care: Show compassion and represent the love of Jesus. “Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God.” 1 John 4:7 (NLT) “Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.” Jn 13:34 (NLT)
• Servant-Minded: Ask, “How can we help you with what you need?” and connect individuals to someone who can help if needed. “God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.” 1 Pt 4:10 (NLT) “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mt 20:28 (NLT) “…Through love serve and seek the best for one another.” Ga 5:13 (AMP)
