Luke 22:27 – Jesus asks who is greater? = To genuinely be like Jesus, we must learn to serve others like Jesus did. His ultimate goal was to please the Father by giving His life for ours. God challenges each of us to serve one another this week. Find someone you can serve and minister to as you go about your week.  

John = One of the early questions in the life of Jesus is when he asks his followers, "What are they seeking?" At the tomb, Jesus asks, "Who are you seeking?" The "what" of life is really answered by a "who" – Jesus. Be honest with yourself regarding your personal relationship with Jesus and find your real purpose in life. Live intentionally in all that you do and say this week.    

Matthew 6 - Worry – Jesus challenges us to realize what is important in life. He will take care of our food and clothing. We have tremendous value to God, and He will take care of His people. Control is an illusion; we only think we are in control. God is the one in control. Don't waste your energy worrying about things that don't matter or things you cannot control. You trust God for your eternal destiny; trust Him with the things you face this week.  

John 21 -Do You Love Me?

Luke 7 – Do you see people as Jesus sees people? Every person you see this week is someone Jesus loves and died for. Jesus expects us to show them the same love that He showed us. This week, may we each look past what our eyes see and try to see the soul of the people we encounter. It is my prayer that we would really see the people around us and show them the compassion and love of Jesus. 

Mark 4  = Focus – Examine your life and make sure that you have your faith and trust in Jesus as your Savior. Make sure Jesus is in the boat of your life. When the storms come, turn to Jesus and rest in the fact that Jesus is in the storm with you. Why are you afraid when you have Jesus in your life?

John 5:1-17 = Desire – Jesus meets the sick man at Bethsaida and wants to know what his real desire is.  It is a challenge for us to look at our heart as well.  Do we really want to change our circumstances and situation?   If we really desire to follow God, then we have to be obedient.  

Matthew 16:24-27 = Purpose – Jesus challenges the disciples to consider their purpose on this earth. Discipleship means that life cannot be about what you value. Our lives must focus on eternal things and not the temporal things of this world. 

Matthew 16:13-23 = Question about Relationship - Who is Jesus? Jesus poses a heart-piercing question to the disciples. Who do they think he is?   Jesus wants to know what they believe about Him. Jesus has the same question for each of us today. Who is Jesus in your life? The answer to that question will shape your life for all eternity. 

Luke Chapter 19 - The story of Zacchaeus emphasizes that Jesus seeks out the lost, encouraging individuals to reflect on their lives and their relationship with Him.
