Responses have consequences. This is true in all areas of life but especially true as we consider the resurrection. When we look at Scripture we see a variety of responses to the truth that Jesus rose from the dead. Some people said, "no way," viewing the resurrection of Jesus as an idle tale. Others marveled that Jesus was alive and went back to their old way of life. Some allowed this truth to change them and responded, "now what." When the truth of the resurrection changes us we have a living hope that will transform every area of our lives. Jesus said "I am the resurrection and the life." Do you believe that true life is found in Jesus?

Hospitality isn’t just about opening our homes, it’s about opening our hearts. It’s a spiritual practice that reflects the gospel by welcoming and pursuing the stranger. God calls us to see and move toward those who are different. Just as we were once strangers and God welcomed us, we are now invited to extend that same love to others.

Prayer can sometimes feel confusing or uncertain. Is God really listening? We often treat prayer as something we do only in desperation or celebration, but is it truly our way of life? Prayer is not a transaction to get something from God, it’s an invitation to keep company with God. Let’s seek to respond to God’s invitation by being present with Him.

In a world suffering from an epidemic of loneliness, community is the remedy. We were created for relationships and God designed us to thrive in meaningful connection. Community is more than just a place of belonging; it’s also a place of becoming, where we grow into who God created us to be. Community brings us to Jesus.

We all long to be unrushed and present in the moment. The Sabbath is God’s gift to rest and refocus our hearts on Him. It’s not about rules or striving for perfection but resting in His perfection. Jesus redeems the Sabbath, making it a time to reorient our lives around Him. True Sabbath isn’t just about rest but also worshipping, joy, and being present with God.

Jesus made solitude a regular part of His life, retreating to desolate places to be with His Father. Stepping into solitude transforms us, allowing us to hear God’s voice, reveal hidden rebellion in our hearts, and invites us into true rest. This week, we are challenged not just to find time but to make time, resisting the urge to fill the silence, and allow God to do what only He can do.

Have you shared your faith with a non-believer recently? Are you letting others see your hope in Christ? In this message, we explore how to change our mindset, step out in faith, and share the gospel with urgency. Our feet bring peace, happiness, salvation, and good news when we walk into the world as a witness of the gospel.

When was the last time you had a fresh encounter with the gospel? Fasting isn’t just about giving something up but drawing closer to Jesus. In God’s Kingdom, the dependent version of you is the best version of you. Jesus fasted and expects His followers to do the same, not for show but to expose our weaknesses, reveal our idols, and stir compassion. This Lent, challenge yourself to fast and experience the gospel in a fresh way.

Jesus spoke frequently about money and possessions, not just in words but through His generous life. We live in a world today that often defines success by wealth and upward mobility. True abundance isn’t found in possessions but in being rich toward God. Generosity requires a shift in thinking and begins with a step of faith.

Jesus calls us to a life of service. Transformation happens when we set aside our ego, empty words, and displays of power, and instead embrace humility, living faith, and small acts of love. When we are empowered by His Spirit and step into the greater works He has prepared, transformation spreads everywhere, through our willingness to kneel down and serve others.
