Psalms
127:1-2 - Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.
119:105 - Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
145:3 - Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.
103:1 & 19 - Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.
1:1-2 - Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
119:36-37 - Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain! Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
23:1 - The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
118:17 - I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord.
2:12 - Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Proverbs
4:23 - Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
3:5-6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
1:32-33 - For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them; but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster."
9:10 - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.

1:14 - I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.
The Song of Solomon
8:6-7 - Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the Lord. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.
1:16 - Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, truly delightful. Our couch is green;
6:3 - Your teeth are like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing; all of them bear twins; not one among them has lost its young.
Series: The GBC Mission Statement
Text: Matthew 28:19-20
Theme: The local church promotes discipleship through biblical teaching.
A few reasons why we’re using the word “teaching” instead of “preaching” in our mission statement:
- We chose the word “teaching” instead of “preaching” because it is a broad heading that includes preaching at times.
- We chose the word “teaching“ because it’s the most common description of Jesus’ ministry.
- Teaching is more accessible to an “every believer” mindset.
- Preaching is part of corporate worship. Teaching is the duty of every believer, inside and outside of the church building.
Ask and seek to answer these two questions this week:
- What does the Bible say?
- How can I make Christ look good?
