Three Values :We

The Value of We –

We are Family

Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he

were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as

sisters, with absolute purity. I Timothy 5:1-16

When Helping Hurts -

When we do for others what they can do for themselves.

Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need.

Vs 3

When we assume a role that is not our to fulfill and leave no room or

responsibility for those who need to serve.

When we give a hand out instead of a hand up.

But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own

family… vs 4

The two sides of the GOOD NEWS

“act justly and love mercy” (Mic. 6:8).”

“When people seek to fulfill their callings by glorifying God in their work, praising

Him for their gifts and abilities, and seeing both their efforts and its products as an offering to Him, then work is an act

of worship to God.” 

The Social Good News

The Theological Good News

 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in

truth.” 1 John 3:17

James 2:17

 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
