The Holy Spirit lives in every follower of Jesus, but there's something unique that happens when we step out in faith and actually talk to people about Jesus.

God’s sovereignty and our obedience meet in a mysterious way, and often, the power comes after the step.

Who is God calling you to speak to this week?

Evangelism was NEVER about “winning an argument”… but simply telling someone where you found hope! Jesus didn’t call us to pressure people. He called us to be WITNESSES. And if Jesus has changed your life, you have a story worth sharing.

“Evangelism is one beggar telling another beggar where they found food.”

Who needs to hear your story this week?

It’s finally here!! MVMNT Conference & Camp Experience is THIS WEEK. 🙌 We’ve been counting down, and we truly believe these next few days are going to be impactful for every student who walks in. From fun and friendships to powerful moments with God, this week has the potential to make a lasting difference.

If you’re in grades 6–12, don’t miss it. And church family, let’s be intentional about praying this week for open hearts, real life change, and for God to move in a big way.

Sometimes what frustrates us the most reveals what’s going on in our own hearts. Jesus cares about the things happening around us, but He also wants to work in us.

When we bring our hearts to Him, He can change what our circumstances never could.

Sunday is almost here, and we’d love to see you at First Sarasota. We’ll gather to worship, open God’s Word, pray together, and be reminded that God can use ordinary people who are willing to follow Him.

God doesn’t need perfect people. He needs praying people.

Join us tomorrow.
