Teaching Biblical Principles through Service Learning

• “See that justice is done, let mercy be your first concern, and humbly obey your God.” (Micah 6:8)

• “Anyone who doesn’t breathe is dead, and faith that doesn’t do anything is just as dead!” (James 2:26)

Teaching Biblical Principles through Service Learning

• Acts 20:35 - In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’

• Matthew 25:40 - ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

• Luke 10:27‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind’; And, ‘Love others as much as you love yourself.’
