God intentionally designed us for connection with Him and with one another in ways that are rich, personal, and meaningful.
The example of the early church encourages us to share the hope of Jesus through building relationships with gentleness, and respect.
The Apostle Paul modeled this beautifully in the book of Acts. When he encountered people who were religious but did not yet believe in Christ, he first noticed them. He observed their culture, listened, and began the conversation on common ground—creating a bridge for relationship and an opportunity to share the Gospel.
We were reminded of what this can look like today as our sister in Christ, Christina Kilpatrick, shared how her own life has been blessed through faithful connection. She encouraged us to intentionally notice the people around us and look for simple opportunities to connect as we go about our everyday lives.
Sometimes sharing Jesus begins simply by noticing someone.
Who can you notice and intentionally connect with this week?
