Foundational Scriptures
Jeremiah 29:7
Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have
carried you into exile.
Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.
Isaiah 61:1-7 / Luke 4:16-19
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon
me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion-
to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of
mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of
despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD for the display of his
splendor.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the
places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities that
have been devastated for generations.
Matthew 28:19-20
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. And
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
Luke 10:27
He answered: " ‘Love the
Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’"
