James 5:16 Therefore
confess your sins to
each other and pray for
each other so that you
may be healed.
15. The public person I was

communicating about my
problems, the darkness
increased and finally
dominated me. As
a result, I did things that
were contrary to everything
I believe.
16. S - Self Image
2 Cor. 5:21 God made him who had no sin
to be sin for us, so that in him we might

am well pleased.

share in God’s grace with me.
Romans 12:11 Never be lacking in
zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,
serving the Lord.
20. L - Lay Ministry
Ephes. 4:11-12 It was he who
gave some to be apostles, some
to be prophets, some to be
evangelists, and some to be
pastors and teachers, to prepare
God's people for works of
service, so that the body of
Christ may be built up
21. L - Lay Ministry
Know their spiritual gifts
Ministering according to their
giftedness
As a matter of fact, in practice it
works the other way—the “lower”
the part, the more basic, and
therefore necessary. You can live
without an eye, for instance, but
not without a stomach.
1 Cor. 12:22 [Msg]
22. E - Evangelistic Interest
1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts
set apart Christ as Lord. Always

they were cut to the heart and said to Peter
and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall
we do?”
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every
one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for
the forgiveness of your sins. And you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
25. Paul’s intellectual approach
Acts 17:2 As his custom
was, Paul went into the
synagogue, and on three
Sabbath days he reasoned
with them from the
Scriptures,
26. The Blind man’s

or not, I don't know.

was blind but now I
see!” [NIV]

and saw a tax collector by the name of
Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,”

at his house, and a large crowd of tax
collectors and others were eating with
them.
