Teaching and Studying Our BIC Core Values
The act of reading Scripture together is itself an experience of God’s love, through which we preach to our hearts the good news of Jesus, and reshape our experience of the world around this reality. Through sermons, teaching, and corporate study, our core values move from being abstract ideas to convictions written on the hearts of each one of us. These sermon outlines are designed to equip churches to teach and study through our BIC core values.
The outlines for Worshiping God begin on page 31 and include:
- Greatest Commandment | Mark 12:28-34
- Reverent Awe | 1 Chronicles 16:23-31
- True Worship | Romans 12:1-2
