Summary

When you hear the word “value,” what comes to mind? A value can simply be what an item is worth. Interestingly, that can rise and fall depending on the situation. The value of a bottle of water might be 35 cents in the grocery store. You put it in a refrigerator at Speedway and suddenly the value shoots up to a dollar-fifty. Put that same bottle of water at Disney, slap a sticker with ears on it and… The word itself suggests different meanings depending on the context. Sometimes you hear people talk positively about things like a moral value or a family value or a Christian value like integrity, patience, purity, kindness, or encouragement. Here’s why it’s important to talk about values; we all have them and what we decide is important in shaping who we become. Think about it. Who you are right now is determined by: The things you have decided are important. The things you have allowed to take over your life. Those things that have moved to the top of your list - whether you intended for them to or not. You are a product of your values, of what you deem valuable. And what is true of you and me individually, is true of us collectively as the church. This week I get to kick off a series of messages that will talk about MCC’s Core Values, what the Bible says about them, and how they play out in real life.

When you hear the word “value,” what comes to mind?

A value can simply be what an item is worth. Interestingly, that can rise and fall depending on the situation. The value of a bottle of water might be 35 cents in the grocery store. You put it in a refrigerator at Speedway and suddenly the value shoots up to a dollar-fifty. Put that same bottle of water at Disney, slap a sticker with ears on it and…

The word itself suggests different meanings depending on the context.

Sometimes you hear people talk positively about things like a moral value or a family value or a Christian value like integrity, patience, purity, kindness, or encouragement.

Here’s why it’s important to talk about values; we all have them and what we decide is important in shaping who we become.

Think about it. Who you are right now is determined by:

The things you have decided are important.
The things you have allowed to take over your life.
Those things that have moved to the top of your list - whether you intended for them to or not.

You are a product of your values, of what you deem valuable. And what is true of you and me individually, is true of us collectively as the church.

This week I get to kick off a series of messages that will talk about MCC’s Core Values, what the Bible says about them, and how they play out in real life.
