Every house should have values. Wrapping up the series for The Heart of The House we discuss the core values of Olive Grove Church. Each team Director covers a core value; giving insight into the things that we honor in this house.

You don't have to fight; the victory is already won. But you do need to be present against the enemy. Standing firm in God, praising Him in advance for what He's already done. Fight from a place of victory, you have everything you need to do so.

The role you play is vital to the house of God, but it must be built on a solid foundation. Be planted in the proper position so that you can be prepared to produce. For without Christ what you're building is fake and ultimately faulty.

God does His best work in the dirt, but He can't produce what you don't plant. Don't hold on to what He has called you to sow. Your need is in the seed, and even when you can't see it, know that He's working.

Let us renew and deny ourselves daily, committing to being selfless by pursuing God's purpose instead of our passion. And whatever we do, do it as unto the Lord; never failing to celebrate the current season, because the reward is in the grind.

You will only fulfill your purpose when you're stretched beyond your comfort. This walk with God is not about playing it safe. We have to look beyond ourselves to see the bigger picture because our greatest victories come when we stretch beyond our limits. 

The world tells you greatness is all about self, but the Kingdom says greatness is all about service. Using our time, talents, and treasures in whatever capacity we're called, we can make a difference in the Kingdom of God. What are you doing with what God has given you? Be willing to step up and go, even if nobody else will.

We can be bold and speak our minds about things we want, so why can't we do the same for Jesus?Let's stop thinking about ourselves and see the bigger picture because someone close to you needs to hear the good news. Will you step up and tell them?

We can't sit on our hands and expect miracles to fall in our lap. We have to put in work and activate our faith. Stir up the gifts inside of you and believe it even though you can't see it. Get up and get to work.
