The Core Principles of Biblical Soul Care

There is hope and help for the hurting in a relationship with Jesus Christ (John 14:6)
Relationship is the context for personal growth (Ephesians 4:11-16)

WE SET OUT TO:
1. Love the hurting (1 John 4:11-12)
2. Know their heart (Proverbs 20:5)
3. Speak truth with grace into their heart (Ephesians 4:15)
4. Help the hurting do what is glorifying to God (1 Corinthians 10:31)
Life change is in the truth of the Gospel found in the Bible (2 Peter 1:3-8)
The Holy Spirit helps us make sense of the Bible and grow in Christ (John 16:7-15)
Prayer is our way to find mercy and grace from God, through Jesus, in times of need (Hebrews 4:14-16)
Those who abide in Christ will bear fruit (John 15:1-11)
The body of Christ is competent and available to help those who are hurting (Romans 15:14; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21)
