Unity isn't about everyone being exactly the same. It's about different people, personalities, and gifts coming together around one purpose.

Let's rescue the perishing. Let's reach people. Let's make a difference.

We are here on mission. Our purpose is not to build our own name, but to help people know Jesus. We are called to live as new creatures, serve His church, and carry the message of reconciliation wherever God sends us.

Don't overcomplicate your purpose. Love people, live for Christ, share the gospel, and make yourself available. There is someone who needs what God has placed in you.

Bible Verse

2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Reflection Question

Are you actively living on mission for Christ?

Prayer

Father, keep me focused on the mission You have given me. Help me live as a new creature, love people well, and faithfully share the gospel wherever You send me. In Jesus’ name, amen.

We aren’t just saved from something—we’re saved to serve. As ambassadors for Christ, we’re called to be an example of Jesus and carry the message of reconciliation wherever God has placed us. Don’t wait for someone else to reach them—ask God who He has placed in your path, step out in faith, and be the one who points them to Jesus this week.

God is not looking for perfect people. He is looking for people who are available. You may not feel qualified, talented, or prepared, but God can use what you are willing to give Him.

Your career may be your vocation, but your calling is to represent Christ. Make yourself available and trust God to use you where you are.

Bible Verse

2 Corinthians 5:20
“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ…”

Reflection Question

What is one way you can make yourself more available to God?

Prayer

Father, I may not have everything figured out, but I am willing. Use my time, gifts, and opportunities for Your purpose. In Jesus’ name, amen.

09/17/2026

God isn't looking for perfect, impressive, or highly qualified people—He is looking for people who are willing to make themselves available to Him.
