TUESDAY DEVOTIONAL – JUNE 23, 2026

You Are Worth More Than Sparrows

Scripture: Matthew 10:29-31

"So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."

Jesus points to something most people overlook: sparrows.

These small birds seemed insignificant in the eyes of many people, yet Jesus said not one falls to the ground outside the Father's care. If God notices every sparrow, how much more does He care about you?

God knows every detail of your life. He sees your struggles, your worries, your joys, and your tears. He knows things about you that no one else knows.

Your value is not determined by your accomplishments, your age, your possessions, or what others think of you. Your value is demonstrated by the fact that God loves you so much that He sent His Son to save you.

You are not forgotten. You are not overlooked. You are deeply loved.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for Your constant care and attention. Help me remember how valuable I am in Your sight. Amen.

SERMON RECAP

Remember Who You Are and Whose You Are

Scripture:
Psalm 86:1-10
Matthew 10:24-39

As we continued our journey through Matthew 10, Rev. Emily reminded us that Jesus was preparing His disciples for a lifetime of faithful discipleship.

Jesus did not promise that following Him would always be easy. There would be opposition, difficult choices, and moments when fear might tempt them to remain silent or turn away. Yet throughout this passage, Jesus repeatedly reminds His followers not to be afraid.

God knows us.
God values us.
God cares for us.

Just as God watches over the sparrows, He watches over His children. We are never forgotten, overlooked, or alone.

One of the most memorable reminders from Sunday's message was:

"Remember who you are. Remember whose you are."

Jesus calls us to remain faithful, even when others disagree with us, challenge us, or try to pull us away from God's purposes.

As we begin a new week, may we not allow fear, comfort, approval, or personal desires to keep us from following Christ.

Discipleship is not a journey for a day or a season. It is a lifelong commitment to walking with Jesus.

"Do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." — Matthew 10:31

MONDAY DEVOTIONAL – JUNE 22, 2026

A Father Who Hears

Scripture: Psalm 86:6-7

"Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. In the day of my trouble I will call to You, for You will answer me."

One of the greatest gifts a father can give is listening. Many people carry burdens because they feel no one truly hears them.

David reminds us that our Heavenly Father always listens. He is never too busy, distracted, or overwhelmed by our concerns. He invites us to bring our worries, fears, questions, and needs directly to Him.

Prayer is not simply asking God for things. Prayer is building a relationship with the One who loves us. When we pray, we open our hearts to receive His wisdom, peace, strength, and guidance.

Today, take time to talk honestly with God. He is listening.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for hearing my prayers. Help me trust that You are listening and working even when I cannot see the answers yet. Amen.

Today we gathered for worship on Father's Day as we continued our journey through Matthew 10.

Through Scripture, prayer, music, giving, and fellowship, we were reminded that following Jesus is not a short-term commitment but a lifelong journey of discipleship.

Rev. Emily's message challenged us not to let fear, opposition, difficult relationships, or the opinions of others keep us from faithfully following Christ. Jesus reminded His disciples—and reminds us today—that we are deeply loved by God, valued in His sight, and called to live courageously for Him.

One of the most powerful reminders from today's message was simple:

"Remember who you are. Remember whose you are."

As we begin a new week, may we trust God's care, stand firm in our faith, and continue carrying the light of Christ into the world.

"Do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." — Matthew 10:31

Thank you to everyone who helped lead worship and to all who joined us today.

Sunday
Heavy Journey, Eternal Reward

Scripture: Matthew 10:22

"The one who stands firm to the end will be saved."

The Christian journey is not always easy. Jesus never hid the cost of discipleship.

There will be challenges, disappointments, opposition, and moments when faith requires courage. Yet Jesus reminds us that the journey is leading somewhere.

Temporary struggles cannot compare to eternal joy.

The road may feel heavy at times, but God's training prepares us for His eternal kingdom. Every step taken in faith matters.

Keep walking. Keep trusting. Keep following Jesus.

Reflection: What helps you stay faithful when the journey becomes difficult?

Prayer: Lord, strengthen me to remain faithful. Help me keep my eyes on You and trust Your promises until the end. Amen.

Sunday

What Won't Fit In A Suitcase

Scripture: Matthew 9:36

When Jesus saw the crowds, He had compassion on them.

The disciples left behind money, supplies, and possessions.

But there was one thing they absolutely needed to carry.

Love.

Love for the hurting.
Love for the lost.
Love for the lonely.
Love for the people God placed before them.

What we need most for God's work will never fit in a suitcase.

It is the love of Christ working through us.

Prayer: Lord, fill my heart with Your love and help me share it freely.
