Jesus, help us see clearly.

Sometimes we see people without really seeing them.
Jesus restored a blind man's sight in Mark 8—and then asked him what he could see.

Because seeing clearly changes how we live.

Loving people means seeing them the way Jesus sees them.

Who is God putting in front of you right now?
Who needs encouragement?
Who needs someone to listen?
Who needs to experience the love of Jesus?

This week, don't just ask:
“What does God want me to do?”

Ask:
“God, who do You want me to see?”

Love God. Love People. Make Disciples.
Love People.
Make Disciples. ❤️

Jesus said:
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”
— John 10:27

Maybe the question isn't whether God is speaking.
Maybe it's whether we've gotten close enough to listen.

Less noise.
Less rushing.
More time with Jesus.

This week, pray:
“God, I don't just want to talk to You. I want to hear You.”

Then get quiet enough to listen.
What might God be saying that you've been too distracted to hear?

God moves through people who choose to move.

In Acts 16, Paul and Silas were sitting in prison when the doors suddenly opened.

But instead of simply walking away, they stayed.

Why?

Because there was a hurting man right in front of them who needed Jesus.

Sometimes God doesn't ask us to fix someone's situation.

He simply asks us to show up.

Call the friend.
Sit with the hurting person.
Pray with someone.
Bring the coffee.
Send the text.
Take the next step.

You never know what God might do through your willingness to be present.

Your story, your struggle, and your willingness can become part of someone else's story of hope. ❤️

📖 Acts 16:25–34

You may not understand what God is doing.
But you can trust who God is.

Joseph didn't understand the road he was walking—but looking back, he could see that God was working even through what others meant for harm.

“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.”
— Genesis 50:20

Maybe you're in a season where you can't see the bigger picture.
Don't confuse “I don't understand” with “God isn't working.”

You don't have to know what's next.
You just have to trust the One who holds the future. ❤️

📖 Proverbs 3:5–6

You don't have to pretend it doesn't hurt.
You don't have to minimize it.
You don't have to figure out how to fix it.

Bring it to God.

Because what you've lost doesn't have to be the end of your story.
“The God of all grace... will himself restore you.”
— 1 Peter 5:10

In 2 Kings 6, a prophet loses something that seems small—but it mattered to him.

He tells Elisha, “It was a borrowed ax!”

And Elisha asks:
“Where did it fall?”

I love that question.
Because sometimes the first step toward restoration is simply being honest about where we lost something.

Where did your joy start fading?
Where did your peace disappear?
When did your relationship with God start feeling distant?

What if this week, instead of pretending you're fine, you simply told God:
“This is where I lost it. Meet me here.”

This is what Jesus does. ❤️

Today, we get to celebrate Tony and the story of how Jesus has been working in their life.

Baptism isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about saying:

“Jesus changed me. I belong to Him. And I’m choosing to follow Him.”

We’re so excited to hear Tony’s story and celebrate this next step of faith together!

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” — 2 Corinthians 5:17
