Psalm 18. God is our trainer. He is preparing and equipping is to face the challenges ahead. He never abandons us but walks us through every valley of every shadow of death. Walk into the weekend with that confidence.

Acts 16:25-34. Jesus said broad is the way that leads to destruction but narrow is the way that leads to life. The world’s way is so much easier! But what gospel opportunities may be waiting for you on the more difficult, challenging path?

Acts 16:6-15. Good news. When Jesus said “go and make disciples” and “you will be my witnesses,” he didn’t leave that to our own imperfect abilities. He’s taking care of it, we just have to hear him and obey him. Easier said than done.

Acts 16:1-5. What gifts do you see in the believers around you, and have you told them?

Acts 15:22-29. Whatever church you come from, we are unified by Christ. The apostles repeatedly address those in other “churches” as brothers and sisters. What can you do today, from your church to be unified as THE church?

Psalm 17. No matter how desperate things look, how outnumbered and surrounded we feel, let us trust God as David does in this Psalm.

Acts 15:6-11. What would happen if we stop drawing lines between sinners and sinners, and decided to share Jesus with anyone and let God sort out who to save?

Acts 14:19-23. What fears keep you from sharing Jesus? Paul was literally stoned for sharing Jesus. And he pressed on because the gospel was of “first importance.” What’s stopping you?

Acts 14:5-18. How can you redirect people’s attention to God? Our natural instinct is to bask in the world’s praise, but what chance do you have today to decrease so that Christ might increase?

Acts 14:1-7. Today’s society is obsessed with credit. But for every compliment you get, every success you reach, didn’t God provide everything you used to get there?
