• We believe that Jesus understood and engaged
  people where they were on their unique journey.
  We desire to see people as God sees them, as
  those who bear the image of God, regardless of
  their perspective, background, or place in His
  world.

2

• We confess that we have taken personal salvation
  and made it a solitary and private salvation,
  causing us to build walls made of fear and
  complacency, rather than bridges built by love.

• Restricting God to private space was the great
  heresy of 20th-century American evangelicalism.
  Denying the public God is a denial of biblical
  faith itself, a rejection of Jesus Himself.

• During the first 300 years of the Church,
  Christians did not build a single church
  building, and the gospel was proclaimed to the
  known worldthe first Christians made a spiritual
  impression on their entire world. How?

5

• They met people where they lived, worked, and
  gathered. One to one, in the home or in the
  marketplace, they shared the Good News. It can
  still be done. We can do an extreme makeover of
  the church by tearing down the walls that keep
  the people with a message from the people who are
  in a mess!

• there will be no life in the church unless the
  church goes out to the people, and in return, the
  people come to the church.

• The LORD is my strength and my song he has
  become my salvation. He is my God, and I will
  praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt
  him.
• - Exodus 152

8

• My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my
  shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my
  stronghold, my refuge and my saviorfrom violent
  men you save me. 2 Samuel 223

• But after he had considered this, an angel of the
  Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph
  son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home
  as your wife, because what is conceived in her is
  from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a
  son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,
  because he will save his people from their sins.
• - Matthew 120-21

10

• I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that
  because you have done this and have not withheld
  your son, your only son, I will surely bless you
  and make your descendants as numerous as the
  stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore.

11

• Your descendants will take possession of the
  cities of their enemies, and through your
  offspring all nations on earth will be blessed,
  because you have obeyed me. - Genesis 2216-18

• To those not having the law I became like one not
  having the law (though I am not free from God's
  law but am under Christ's law), so as to win
  those not having the law. To the weak I became
  weak, to win the weak. I have become all things
  to all men so that by all possible means I might
  save some. I do all this for the sake of the
  gospel, that I may share in its blessings.
• 1 Corinthians 921-23

13

• Do not love the world or anything in the world.
  If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father
  is not in him. For everything in the worldthe
  cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and
  the boasting of what he has and doescomes not
  from the Father but from the world. 1 John
  214-16.

• Now he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a
  town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of
  ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
  Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he
  was from the journey, sat down by the well. It
  was about the sixth hour.
•  When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus
  said to her, "Will you give me a drink?"

15

• (His disciples had gone into the town to buy
  food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, "You are
  a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask
  me for a drink?" (For Jews do not associate with
  Samaritans). Jesus answered her, "If you knew
  the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a
  drink, you would have asked him and he would have
  given you living water."

16

• "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw
  with and the well is deep. Where can you get this
  living water? Are you greater than our father
  Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it
  himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and
  herds?"
•  

17

• Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water
  will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the
  water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the
  water I give him will become in him a spring of
  water welling up to eternal life. - John 44-14

18

• Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in
  him because of the womans testimony. - John 439
