YOU WERE SENT (From Sunday’s Message)
John 20:21 — “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
You are not here by accident. God created you, Jesus redeemed you, the Holy Spirit empowers you, and God has sent you into the world with a purpose.
Your job, your neighborhood, your family, and your everyday conversations are all places where God can use you.
Don’t just ask, “What am I doing?” Ask, “Why am I doing it?”
Prayer: Lord, help me see today as an opportunity to live out the purpose You have given me. Use me wherever You send me. Amen.

SATURDAY DEVOTION from Sunday’s message | JESUS WITH YOUR SKIN ON
Jesus said:
“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve.” — Matthew 20:28
Think about that.
The One who deserved to be served came to serve.
And when we follow Jesus, His heart begins to become our heart.
Your hands can become His hands.
Your words can become His encouragement.
Your compassion can become His compassion.
Your generosity can become His generosity.
Your willingness to serve can give someone a glimpse of what Jesus is like.
One of the greatest ways people may encounter Jesus this week isn't through a sermon.
It may happen because you showed up, listened, helped, prayed, encouraged, forgave, or served.
Be Jesus with your skin on today.
Look for someone who needs to experience the love of Christ—and let God use you to show it.

FRIDAY DEVOTION from Sundays message| OPEN THE GIFT
Imagine receiving an incredible gift and never opening it.
It doesn't matter how valuable the gift is if it remains unopened.
The same can be true spiritually.
God has given each of us abilities and spiritual gifts—not so we can admire them, compare them, or keep them to ourselves, but so we can use them to bless others and glorify Him.
A gift is meant to be used.
Maybe you've been saying:
“I'm not good enough.”�“Someone else can do it better.”�“I don't know what I could possibly do.”
But God isn't asking you to be somebody else.
He's asking you to be faithful with what He has given you.
So don't bury the gift.
Open it. Use it. Give it away.
Someone may be waiting for the blessing God intended to deliver through you.

THURSDAY DEVOTION (From Sundays Message)| NOTHING IS WASTED
After Jesus fed the five thousand, He told His disciples:
“Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” — John 6:12
I love that.
Because we are pretty good at throwing things away.
Broken things.�Old things.�Leftovers.
Sometimes we do the same thing with our lives.
“Those years are wasted.”�“That failure disqualified me.”�“That pain can't possibly be used for anything good.”
But God doesn't see your life the way you do.
God doesn't waste anything surrendered to Him.
He can use your past to give someone hope.
Your pain can help someone who is hurting.
Your failure can teach someone wisdom.
Your testimony can point someone to Jesus.
What looks like leftovers to us can still be useful in the hands of Jesus.
Give Him the pieces.
He knows exactly what to do with them.

WEDNESDAY DEVOTION From Sundays message | YOU WERE MADE FOR A PURPOSE
God doesn't make mistakes.
He created you on purpose, with purpose, and for a purpose.
You may look at yourself and think, “I don't have much to offer.”
But God sees differently.
Your personality, experiences, abilities, opportunities, and spiritual gifts can all become tools in His hands.
Romans 12:6 says, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.”
You don't have to be someone else.
You don't have to have someone else's gifts.
You just need to be faithful with what God has given you.
Don't spend your life wishing you were somebody else.
Ask God today:
“Lord, how can You use what You've given me to bless someone else?”
You were made for a purpose.�And there is someone who needs what God put in you.

TUESDAY DEVOTION | SAVED TO SERVE
You weren’t saved just to attend church, listen to sermons, sing songs, and go home.
You were saved to serve.
Paul says that God gives His people what they need “for works of service.” — Ephesians 4:12
That doesn’t mean everyone is called to preach from a pulpit. But every follower of Jesus is called to minister wherever God has placed them.
Your workplace can be ministry.
Your neighborhood can be ministry.
Your family can be ministry.
A conversation can be ministry.
A helping hand can be ministry.
A prayer can be ministry.
When you serve others, you are serving Jesus.
So look around today.
Someone needs what God has already put inside you.
Who can you serve today?

MONDAY DEVOTION | TAKE THE STAIRS
There’s an elevator to the top of the Washington Monument, but there are also 896 stairs.
The elevator is easier. The stairs require effort.
Spiritually, there is no elevator to maturity.
We don’t become more like Jesus overnight. We take the stairs—one step of obedience, one step of humility, one step of faith, one step of serving at a time.
Jesus said, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.” — Matthew 20:26
Following Jesus isn’t about becoming more important. It’s about becoming more like Him.
Today, take the next step.
Don’t worry about all 896. Just take the next one.
🙏 Lord, help me take the next step toward becoming more like You today.

Saturday — (Sunday reflection)From Spectator to Disciple
The church isn't supposed to be a building full of spectators. It's supposed to be a body full of participants.
There is somebody you can encourage.�Somebody you can pray for.�Somebody you can serve.�Somebody you can reach.
You may never stand behind a pulpit, lead worship, or teach a class—but you have a place in the body of Christ.
Tomorrow, don't just come to church.
Come ready to be the Church.
Ask God, “Who can I encourage? Who can I serve? Who can I reach?”
See 1 Peter 4:10
