Praise the Lord
This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it. Ps118:24 Sing to the LORD a new song…praise his name…For great is the LORD and most worth of praise. Ps96:1 4 holy is his name. Luke 1:49 his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless Ps 18:30 Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever…the LORD is gracious and compassionate. Ps 111:3 4 Faithful and True Rev 19:11 the same yesterday and today and forever. Heb 13:8 The heavens declare the glory of God Ps 19:1 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my Deliverer…He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Ps 18:2 The LORD is my shepherd…he restores my soul…He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Ps 23:1 3 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Prov 3:5 6 Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.–Matt 4:10
Repentance
All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way. Is53:6a If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1John1:9 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chron 7:14
Love
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. Matt 22:37 39 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Cor 13:4 8 Do to others as you would have them do to you. Luke 6:31 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Eph 4:32 all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13:35
Giving
Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. Luke 6:38 It is more blessed to give than to receive. Act 20:35 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34 whatever you do for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you do for me. Matt 25:40 Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2Cor 9:6 7 excel in this grace of giving 2Cor 8:7 Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. Matt 6:1
Jesus Christ
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. John 1:1 5 he was pierced for our transgressions…crushed for our iniquities…and by his wounds we are healed. Is 53:5 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil2:10 11 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.-Is 9:6 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Rev 22:13 All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matt 28:18 I am the good shepherd. John 10:11 the bread of life.-John 6:35 the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. John 8:12 I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.–John 10:10 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in Rev 3:20 I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.-John 14:6 I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.-John 15:5 If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. Mark 8:34 35 No one can serve two masters.-Matt 6:24 If you love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15 I will never leave you nor forsake you.-Heb 13:5 Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. Rev 22:12 he who stands firm to the end will be saved -Matt 10:22

Hard Times
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.-John 16:33 I know the plans I have for you,…plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jer 29:11 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.-Phil 4:6 those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.-Is 40:31 do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?'…‘What shall we wear?’…your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matt 6:31-33 God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.-Phil 4:19 Do everything without complaining or arguing Phil 2:14 Do not be overcome with evil, but overcome evil with good.-Rom 12:21 Do not judge, or you too will be judged.-Matt 7:1 If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic.-Luke 6:29 we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him Rom 8:28a one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:13-14 and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.-Matt 28:20
Warfare
our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph 6:12 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Pet:5:8 to steal and kill and destroy-John 10:10 Resist the devil, and he will flee-Jam 4:7 put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground…with the belt of truth …the breastplate of righteousness…and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace…take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Eph 6:13-17 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword. It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit-Heb 4:12 If God is for us, who can be against us. -Rom 8:31
Persecution
All men will hate you because of me Matt 10:22 Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake…for great is your reward in heaven Matt 5:11-12 Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.-Matt 5:44-45 In your anger do not sin : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.-Eph 4:26-27
Victory
you have been set free from sin Rom 6:22 thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.-1Cor 15:57 I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. -Phil 4:13
Faith
trust in the LORD–Ps 4:5 he is faithful in all he does-Ps 33:4 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.-Matt.7:7-8 Everything is possible for him who believes. -Mark 9:23
Heaven
if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. John 14:3 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matt 7:13-14 no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him -1 Cor 2:9
In the End
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True...And he hath on his vesture…a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Rev 19:11-16 and he shall reign for ever and ever.–Rev 11:15 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. Rev 21:4

New Life
no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.-John 3:3b Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.-2Cor 5:17 I myself no longer live, but Christ lives in me.-Gal 2:20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors-2Cor 5:20 stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord -1 Cor 15:58

Holy Spirit
the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things-John 14:26 your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you…Therefore honor God with your body.-1 Cor 6:19-20 the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.-Gal 5:22-23a God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.-2Tim 1:7 be filled with the Spirit.-Eph 5:18 do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God -Eph 4:30
Light of the World
Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.-1 John 2:15 greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 1John4:4 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.-Rom 12:2 You are the light of the world-Matt 5:14 saved by grace…created in Christ Jesus for good works-Eph 2:8-10 let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matt 5:16 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.-Matt 5:48 If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.-Mark 9:35 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.-Luke 14:11
The Great Commission
As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.-John 20:21 I will make you fishers of men. Mark 1:17 The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.-Matt 9:37 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. Matt 28:19-20 Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven. -Matt 10:32-33
