THREAD EXISTS FOR THE LORD AND TO BRING PEOPLE INTO DAILY ENCOUNTERS WITH HIM
-
For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.

And he said to him, “If your presence will not go with me, do not bring us up from here. 16 For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?”
-
The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not go out. The priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and he shall arrange the burnt offering on it and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.
OUR WHAT
We are called to father, not just lead.
One encounter can reignite hunger and intimacy, so we lead people into undeniable encounters with God and help them hear and obey His voice.

THREAD IS CALLED TO FATHER CITIES INTO OBEDIENCE AND RENEWAL

-
Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your ways, that I may know you in order to find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.”
-
Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
-
For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

OUR HOW
Our tent pegs are the non-negotiable VALUES WE HOLD as we build a home for the Lord.
-
Passion looks like something and we are the ones undone in His presence. We’ve been captivated by Jesus and we don’t apologize for the tears, trembling, or groans of desperation.
1 Samuel 1:15
But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord.Luke 18:39
And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”Luke 10:42
but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.” -
We believe God’s word over the enemy’s lies and are settled in His voice. Pride, striving, and ambition are swallowed in adoption—so we live open, vulnerable, and free from performance.
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.Philippians 2:3
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.Romans 8:15
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” -
We value relationship over comfort. Nothing left unsaid has ever built anything, so we confront, confess, and wrestle with one another—knowing the depth of connection is worth it. When others back away, we lean in.
Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy.James 5:16
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.Ephesians 5:11
Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. -
Honor is confirming what heaven values. We take seriously what is worthy of honor—The Lord, His house, and His people—and are willing to pay the cost to show it.
1 Timothy 1:17
To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.Romans 12:10
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.Psalms 26:8
O Lord, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells. -
We pursue health by prioritizing relationship with God, family, sabbath and our bodies. We want to be strong enough to stand under the weight of God's glory and finish our race.
Proverbs 3:5-8
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. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.2 Timothy 4:7
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.3 John 1:2
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. -
We are committed to growth because work is the reward. We don’t focus on arriving, but on a lifetime of development, multiplying everything God has placed in our hands.
Ecclesiastes 3:13
also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.Luke 16:10
“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.Matthew 25:21
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ -
We carry our weight and bear the burdens of those around us. Not all moments are created equal, and we show up because our presence matters and our absence has a cost.
Exodus 17:12
But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.Ruth 1:16
But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.Galatians 6:2
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. -
We will obey the Lord, no matter the cost, and we refuse to partner with intimidation. We only fear the Lord and that makes us dangerous to the world.
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”Esther 4:16
“Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, and if I perish, I perish.”2 Timothy 1:7
for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. -
We are hosting The Lord and believe everything should reflect that. We always give our best with what we have, knowing it glorifies Him.
Daniel 6:3
Then this Daniel became distinguished above all the other high officials and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.Proverbs 22:29
Do you see a man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men. -
We refuse to be miserable. We believe life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured, and we fight heaviness with joy. Our faces look like we’ve heard good news.
Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said to them, “Go your way. Eat the fat and drink sweet wine and send portions to anyone who has nothing ready, for this day is holy to our Lord. And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”Proverbs 17:22
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.John 15:11
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
