Practical Steps to Being a Faithful Steward:

1. Evaluate your resources. Take an honest look at your time, money, and talents. Are you using them for God’s purposes? 

2. Give generously. Whether through tithing, charity, or supportive ministries, give back to God what He has blessed you with.

Make the most of your time. Time is a precious resource. Invest your time in things that matter—seeking God’s kingdom, serving others, and growing in your faith.

Scripture Reference:

"There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. Each person receives the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 (NIV).

Practical Steps to Using Your Gifts:

1. Identify your spiritual gifts. Take time to pray and reflect on the gifts God has given you. You may also ask others for feedback on how they’ve seen you serve.

2. Serve within your church. Look for opportunities to use your gifts in your church community. Whether in children’s ministry, worship, or administration, your gifts can make an impact.

3. Look for needs in your community. Ask God to show you where you can use your gifts to serve beyond the walls of the church—whether it’s through volunteering, mentoring, or simply offering your time.

In this episode, we look at one of Jesus' most profound commands: "Love one another as I have loved you" (John 13:34–35).

Love is more than simply an emotion; it is a daily decision to represent God's heart in our actions, particularly towards people who are difficult to love.

Let us explore what it really means to have sacrificial, Christ-like love and how we can express it through kindness, forgiveness, service, and prayer.

Join us as we explore practical ways to show love and accept the challenge of becoming a living example of God's love in a world that desperately needs it.

Challenge of the Week:

Show intentional love to someone this week, especially someone who is difficult to love.

Join us in this informative episode as we look at the profound call to live holy lives as believers, based on 1 Peter 1:15-16.

Holiness, which is anchored in God's character, goes beyond mere external behaviour and begins with a heart transformation. Our quest for holiness entails aligning all parts of our lives with God's will, striving to please Him in thought, speech, and deed.

In this episode, we look at practical activities you may take to cultivate holiness every day. Learn how spending close time with God through prayer and scripture helps us reflect His holiness more deeply. Consider how crucial it is to examine our deeds and reasons and let God cleanse any areas where we may have compromised.

Learn how to navigate a world full of distractions by consciously guarding our hearts and thoughts and choosing to live a life dedicated to God's glory.

Let us go on a spiritual journey of growth and transformation, seeking to embody God's call to holiness. Let us resolve, through prayer and contemplation, to live lives that honour Him in every way.

Scripture Reference:
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20)

Overview:
In this episode, we learn about the profound calling of every believer to serve God by making disciples. Jesus' commission in Matthew 28:19-20 forms the bedrock of our faith, urging us not only to believe but to actively spread the Gospel.

This mandate challenges us to step beyond our comfort zones and engage purposefully with the world around us.

Join us as we embrace the challenge to serve God faithfully and make disciples, transforming lives through the power of the Gospel.

Let's answer the call together, trusting in God's provision and guidance every step of the way.

Finishing well matters. In this last episode of Shoot Every Arrow on Hearing By God's Word, we look at Paul's profound words in 2 Timothy 4:7: "I have finished the race."

Not only does God want us to begin with faith, but He also wants us to finish with obedience.

This episode pushes you to live fully, without holding back. Reflection questions and a prayer at the end will help you fully commit to your God-given task.

What if your breakthrough was only one more prayer away? In this episode of Hearing By God's Word, we find encouragement in Luke 18 and the parable of the persistent widow.

Be inspired to strike again; your perseverance counts. Includes reflective questions and a prayer to help you rekindle your faith and perseverance.

Some moments are more than just that; they're heavenly windows of opportunity. In this episode of Hearing By God's Word, we discuss 2 Kings 13:17 and Elisha's command to "Open the east window… Shoot!" That window represented a God-given opportunity to act.

Learn how to recognise and respond to the opportune opportunities that God presents to you. This programme includes reflection questions and a prayer to help you go forward without delay.

Use the faith you already have instead of asking for more. In this episode of Hearing By God's Word, we look at Romans 12:3 and the idea that God has given every one of us a measure of faith.

The question is, are we activating it? Learn how faith develops via application and how to go forward even when you don't feel "ready."

This episode includes contemplation questions and a prayer to help you transition from reluctance to action.

Have you ever begun a journey of faith but then given up too soon? In this episode of Hearing By God's Word, we examine the scene in 2 Kings 13 where King Joash stops striking the ground after just three strikes, cutting short his victory.

Elisha's dissatisfaction highlights a profound truth: partial obedience leads to partial success.
