Weekly Reflection | Luke 14:7–14

Are we seeking recognition, or are we seeking opportunities to serve?

This week's devotion invites us to examine our own pride and remember that humility, selflessness, and sincere generosity are at the heart of Jesus' teachings.

True hospitality asks nothing in return.

What if the gifts we have to offer are already enough?

Too often, self-doubt holds us back. We question our abilities, wonder if we're worthy, or assume someone else would be better suited.

As Pastor Matt Helms reminds us, God often calls us beyond our comfort zones, inviting us to trust in gifts we may not even recognize in ourselves.

Like Moses and Jeremiah, we're reminded that answering God's call doesn't require having all the answers. Sometimes, it simply takes a leap of faith.
