DNA: Week 6 – In It Together

Every church has certain aspects of mission and vision that are unique to each church. At Hope, we’re discussing the things that make us who we are at our very core, our DNA as a church.

  • A core value of ours is that we are In It Together
For a team or a family to be at its best, everyone must think ‘we over me’.

John 17:20-23  Jesus wants us to be unified so that the world would know God sent Jesus and that God loved us.

The story of Nehemiah gives us some essential ideas to bring us together.

Nehemiah 1:3

Nehemiah 1:4

 There are four essentials to be In It Together.

1.  We have to CARE ‘about it’.

  Know what your ‘it’ is and care about it.

2.  We have to be Courageous for it.

Nehemiah 2:9-10

Nehemiah 4:1

Nehemiah 4:14

3.  We have to be Selfless to it.

“If you want to achieve anything in life worth achieving, it will cost you something.”

Nehemiah 3:1

Nehemiah 3:8

Nehemiah 3:13

Nehemiah 7:70

“If you want to achieve anything in life worth achieving, it will cost you something.”

We want to reach the triangle and change the world.

4.  We have to ‘Seek God through it’.

Chase after big things but only do so while seeking God through it.

Here are a few questions to ask:

  1. What do we really care about? What’s our ‘it’?                                                     
  2. Where do we need to be more courageous for our it?
  3. Where do I need to be more selfless in it?
  4. Am I seeking God in it?
