Theme Verses
• Isaiah 56:7b "for my house will
be called a house of prayer for
all nations.”
Isaiah 56:3-7
3 Let no foreigner who is bound
to the Lord say, “The Lord will
surely exclude me from his
people.” And let no eunuch
complain, “I am only a dry tree.”
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs who keep my
Sabbaths, who choose what
pleases me
and hold fast to my covenant—
5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever.
6 And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath without
desecrating it and who hold fast to
my covenant —
7 these I will bring to my holy
mountain and give them joy in my
house of prayer. Their burnt
offerings and sacrifices will be
accepted on my altar; for my
house will be called a house
of prayer for all nations.”
Theme Verses
• 1 Corinthians 11:1 "Imitate me,
just as I also imitate Christ.“
• 1 Cor 11 1 Follow my example,
as I follow the example of
Christ.
• 1 Cor 10:31-33
31 So whether you eat or drink or
whatever you do, do it all for the
glory of God. 32 Do not cause
anyone to stumble, whether Jews,
Greeks or the church of God—
33 even as I try to please everyone
in every way. For I am not seeking
my own good but the good of
many, so that they may be saved.
• Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man did not come
to be served, but to serve, and to give
his life as a ransom for many.”
• Luke 4:18-19
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is
on me, because he has
anointed me to proclaim
good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim
freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the
blind, to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the
Lord’s favor.”
Take–Home Point
• The take-home point from all
the above is that God's highest
priority is that all people be set
free and be saved. We should
do all that is possible for the
Gospel to be shared.
