The Next Right Thing   Deuteronomy 31:7-8

We will be going back over the Shepherds prayer challenge for kicking off 2026 and revisit the seven keys and create a bit of a roadmap for where Northwest is going and things to be excited about in 2026. 

Blank Check Love - Scripture: John 3:16-21

God so loved the world…” Those words are so familiar that their weight can be lost on us. The love of God revealed at Christmas is not sentimental or abstract; it is embodied, costly, and redemptive. Love came down — not in comfort or glory, but in vulnerability.

This love does not wait for the world to become lovable. God’s love moves first, toward sinners, toward enemies. It is an initiating love that stoops to rescue, a love that bears our sin and shame. The baby in the manger is the Lamb who will be slain. The parable of the Good Samaritan is not just a moral teaching for our future…it is a description of what Jesus did on Christmas. He picked up our broken selves and then wrote a blank check to make us whole. We are called to embody the same kind of love — patient, forgiving, and self-giving and without condition — in our families, our communities, and even toward those who wrong us. God, like the Good Samaritan, is offering to make you healthy by giving you a blank check. Are you willing to cash it in?
