What has God entrusted to you—and are you carrying it like it all depends on you? In Acts 20, Paul says goodbye to leaders he loves and entrusts them to God and His grace. There’s real responsibility ahead, but they won’t carry it alone. Neither do we. Through Jesus, our place with the Father is se…

What changes when Jesus becomes worth more than what we’re holding onto? In Acts 19, ordinary people heard the gospel, trusted Jesus, and began leaving their old lives behind. Following Him cost them something, but they had found something better. That same Spirit is at work in us today, changing o…

Through God’s mercy, they have been born again into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus and given an inheritance that cannot perish, fade, or …

Psalm 67 reminds us that baptism isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting line. Like Jonah stepping onto the shore with a new calling, we’ve been given a new identity and a new purpose: we’re blessed to be a blessing. God’s grace isn’t something we earn; it’s something we receive through Jesus, who…
