CULTURE DETERMINES DESTINYExodus 14:10-­12 "...t​he people of Israel​ looked up and panicked when they saw the Egyptians overtaking them. They cried out to the L​ORD,​1​1 a​nd they said to Moses, “Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness? Weren’t there enough graves for us in Egypt? What have you done to us? Why did you make us leave Egypt? 1​2 D​idn’t we tell you this would happen while we were still in Egypt? We said, ‘Leave us alone! Let us be slaves to the Egyptians. It’s better to be a slave in Egypt than a corpse in the wilderness!’”Culture: A collective group of people united by common outlooks, attitudes, values, goals, beliefs and behaviors.A common culture is what keeps keeps a common cause achievable.Don’t tell me how big your cause is, show me how strong the culture of your team is.OUR CULTURE...A CULTURE OF HONESTY­Honest in our own desire to walk close to Jesus.­Honest in our desire as a team to want nothing more than for people to live in God’s best while here on earth and forever in eternity.A CULTURE OF HONOR (No one becomes common)­We will honor God in every decision ...
