When we speak of values, there can be a broad spectrum of subjects from the generations that still attend our church to the core values or the DNA of our congregation. For example, we value every member from various generations that still attend service on a regular basis. There are still a few builders (1931–1945), several baby boomers (1945–1964), the bulk of the congregation are Generation X (1965–1985), and the millennials (1986–2005). Although our core of DNA values is to be applied, there are times when people forget to exercise them wisely. The worst thing that can happen to values is that they get written and people filed them away. My congregation consist of different cultures and therefore, the values can vary. My prayer is …show more content…
Generosity is our privilege. It is about giving more than what is required with our time, talents, and treasure. We go first in our giving, because God has given richly towards us, and it’s our honor to give back to Him.
4. Excellence is our spirit striving to always do the best with what we have. We’re on time, engaged and prepared and don’t do things half way. Everything is handled to the best of our ability.
5. Servant Leadership is our identity. If you’re too big to serve then you are too small to lead. Every leader is a servant first, from the parking lot to the pulpit, everyone serves.
6. Honor is our calling. We are vocal with our honor and submit to leadership. We are thankful for spiritual authority and joyfully submit to those God has placed over us. We also honor and care for those God has placed under us.
7. Passion is our pursuit and everything we do, we do it with passion. From our worship to our service, we do it with Holy Ghost energy. Passion drives us with passion for Jesus. We have passion for people and for His church.
As Believers, we embrace values, because God places inestimable value on the human soul. He paid the redemption price of the blood of his son Jesus Christ to purchase his own people who are precious to him. Everything that achieves or maintains this relationship is to be
Values mean different things to different people as they have differing beliefs and values. After this book was published, people’s values may have changed as they realized they have had the wrong values and priorities, and needed a change.
Values are societies own guides to life. They identify what is wrong and what is right, however it is up to the people to decide whether or not to follow them. But what are values? Values can be defined as “principles or standards of behaviour; one’s judgement of what is important in life” (Oxford Dictionaries, 2015). Furthermore, values are “important and lasting beliefs or ideals shared by the members of a culture about what is good or bad and desirable or undesirable” (Business Dictionary, 2015). Values hold high importance in the lives of people as they have major influence on behaviour and attitude, as well as serving as broad guidelines in many situations. All human experiences, interactions and conversations have the potential to shift
Values help people determine what is right and wrong. They provide our moral compass in life.
What are values and how do they relate to the other terms identified in the introduction? An investigation from multiple sources agrees that values are the motivations and behaviors used to determine priorities of what one sees as important in life and work (MindTools.com, 2017; Atkins, 2017; Value, n.d.). Applying this definition to the values I hold include a list of characteristics that define how I desire to represent myself. First, commitment to my principles, which my faith as a Christian
Values are often influenced by different ideologies, so it is important to look at these also.
Values relate to our personal principles, morals, and ideals—that is, what we consider to be important.Each person is unique, with their own personal values and beliefs shaped by a number of factors that include culture, religion, and personal experiences.We value each person as an individual, respect their aspirations and commitments in life, and seek to understand their priorities, needs, abilities and limits.
Servant-leaders desire to build community with a compelling shared vision to accomplish. Robert Greenleaf, who coined the modern day use of the term ‘servant leadership’ says, “It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first.” (Greenwood, 2002)
With this mission in mind, the primary tasks for today can be broken down to worship, discipleship, and evangelism. Worship brings the body of Christ, the Church, together in an effort to praise God for all that God has done, is doing, and will do. Worship is where we can experience many of the means of grace such as hearing the Word of God, prayer, and receiving Holy Communion. Jesus’ call to follow is much more than just getting in line and walking behind him along the journey; it is about servant-hood. This is more than going to church, more than attending Sunday school, more than listening to a sermon. Discipleship is a journey into the heart of God's love
Values are passed down through every generation. I think that those values that passed down help us, whether we see them or not. If we had a list of values most would look insignificant but values helps us see what is more important to us, they help us make life decisions. Values represent how our parents raised us and how they were raised. As I see the values passed
Robert Greenleaf, the man given credit for launching the modern term “servant-leadership”, points out that a leader is first a servant. The idea of servant leadership can be traced back to The New Testament and the many stories of Jesus first serving others. Although not traditionally thought of as “leadership”, His example of servant leadership is one I follow. Giving of my time to those in need is how I lead and set an example for others.
My religious background helped build the foundation of my values. People use values as guiding principles in their life and try to behave in
I like your post and agree with you. Servant leadership is a humbling approach that seeks to empower followers and improve the outcomes of an individual or an organization. Leaders share their control and influence with their followers and this empowers the followers. Sharing control and influence may be challenging, especially if followers are not supportive and the leader may not be taken
We must act on our values. If we truly value something, we will follow through with maintaining those values regardless of circumstances or repercussions.
Values can vary from person to person. With this being said, common values include religion, freedom, and high achieving. Throughout the early years Native Americans valued their religion in the literature. When the class was given the first few assignments there were many poems with the Native Americans valuing their religious views. (Prezi Introduction: Native Voices) Likewise, freedom and being high achieving can tie into one another.
Responsibility: we think that being an accountable member of the society and we are commit to our employees, our clients and responsible for our actions.
