Midweek Devotional: Keep Taking the Next Step

Reading: Hebrews 12:1–3

By the middle of the week, weariness can begin to settle in. The responsibilities are still there, the prayers may still feel unanswered, and the finish line may seem far away. But God has not asked you to run the entire race today. He has called you to take the next faithful step.

The writer of Hebrews tells us to fix our eyes on Jesus. When our attention stays on our circumstances, discouragement grows. When our attention returns to Christ, we remember that he endured the cross, conquered the grave, and now walks with us through every difficult mile.

You may feel tired, but you are not abandoned. You may have stumbled, but the race is not over. Lay down what is weighing you down, receive the strength God provides, and keep moving forward. Jesus has already secured the victory. Your calling today is simply to remain faithful.

Reflection: Where are you feeling weary this week? Ask God for the strength to take one more faithful step with your eyes fixed on Jesus.

The fight of faith isn’t always fair or clean—but when we get knocked down, we get back up. Let’s keep fighting to remain faithful to Christ from start to finish. 🥊

Midweek Check-In | Are We Still Listening?

📖 Read: Psalm 46:10, John 14:6, Revelation 3:20

We live surrounded by noise. Phones, schedules, entertainment, responsibilities—even good things can keep us so busy that we stop noticing the voice of Jesus.

The problem isn’t that God has gone quiet. Sometimes we’ve simply forgotten how to get quiet enough to listen.

And when we do slow down, we may discover something uncomfortable: there are other voices shaping what we believe, what we value, and how we live. That’s why Jesus doesn’t just offer us good advice or point us toward a better way. He says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

We can be around church, know the songs, serve, take notes, and still slowly become disconnected from the One who gives us life. Being near the things of Jesus is not the same as being surrendered to Jesus.

So maybe the invitation this week is simple: turn down the noise, open the door, and listen again.

Jesus isn’t asking you to have every step figured out. He’s asking you to trust the One who is leading you.

Midweek question: What has been making it difficult for you to hear and follow Jesus lately?

Take a few quiet minutes today. Put the phone down. Turn everything else off. Ask Him to search your heart, speak truth into the places that need it, and help you surrender whatever you’ve been holding back.

You can be surrounded by the things of Jesus and still miss Jesus Himself.
The real “last crusade” isn’t about finding the cup—it’s about staying connected to the One who gives life.

The most dangerous idols aren’t always sitting in a temple—they may be sitting in our hearts.
What gets your time, attention, love, and trust more than Jesus?
Sometimes the real Temple of Doom is closer than we think.

Reading: 1 Samuel 7:3-13

Midweek Devotional:

Samuel's call to Israel was direct. Return to the Lord with all your heart. Put away the foreign gods. Serve him only. When the people obeyed and removed the foreign “gods” of their hearts and lives, God acted powerfully on their behalf. The battle they faced did not disappear, but God fought it for them. This is the pattern of the surrendered life. It does not promise the absence of conflict, but it promises the presence of God in the midst of it. As this past week’s sermon reminds us, a straight / tenous path with God is far better than a winding / easy path without him. Full surrender is not a one-time event. It is a daily choice of removing the idols in your life and saying, "Lord, you are God and God alone in my life."
