Faith
|
1 Samuel ch.17 ‘For we walk by faith, not by sight’ 2 Corinthians 5:7
|
The story of David and Goliath, from the Bible (1 Samuel 17) tells of a young shepherd boy, David, who faced and defeated a giant named Goliath, a Philistine warrior. David, armed with a sling and stones, famously struck Goliath in the forehead, causing him to fall and be slain. This act of defiance and courage is a well-known biblical narrative, highlighting faith in God and the power of the underdog.

Showing our trust and faith in God, in others around us and also in ourselves to do the right thing |
|
Care |
Luke 10:29-37 ‘Be willing to help and care for each other because of Christ. By doing this, you honour Christ.’ Ephesians 5:21 |
The parable of the Good Samaritan, found in Luke 10:29-37, tells the story of a man attacked by robbers who is left half-dead on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite pass by without helping, but a Samaritan, despite the historical animosity between Jews and Samaritans, stops to care for him, bandage his wounds, and take him to an inn, paying for his care. The parable illustrates the importance of compassion and helping others, regardless of background or religious affiliation.

Showing our love, respect and tolerance for ourselves and each other everyday |

Respect
|
Luke 7:1-10 ‘Respect everyone, and love your Christian brothers and sisters.’1 Peter 2:17
|
Many Jews hated the Romans at the time of Jesus as they had occupied their land. The centurion in this story is shown to be a respectful and kind man who looked after his Jewish servant, went out of his way for him, and built the Jews a synagogue. The centurion, a Gentile, sends Jewish elders to Jesus to ask for a healing, even though he believes Jesus doesn't need to be present. Jesus is amazed by the centurion's faith and, without going to the centurion's house, heals his servant simply by speaking the word. |
Showing respect for everyone around us at home and at school by our actions and words |
|
Honesty |
Luke 19:1-10 ‘Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit.’
|
The Bible story of Zacchaeus, found in Luke 19:1-10, tells how Jesus, a wealthy tax collector, met Jesus and was transformed. Zacchaeus, being small, climbed a sycamore tree to get a better view of Jesus. Jesus saw him, called him by name, and invited himself to Zacchaeus's house. Zacchaeus then declared he would give half his possessions to the poor and repay those he had defrauded fourfold. Jesus declared that salvation had come to that house because Zacchaeus, too, was a son of Abraham. |
Be honest in our actions and words and tell the truth even when it is difficult! |
