Jesus commands us to both go where He sends and tell others the good news boldly and lovingly. Going means stepping out of our comfort zones to engage with the people around us, while telling means sharing our personal faith story with courage and grace. We don’t do this alone—Jesus promises His presence and empowers us through the Holy Spirit. Living out the Great Commission means living missionally every day, both in our actions and conversations.

Healthy relationships grow when we speak the truth in love, just like Jesus did. Truth without love wounds, while love without truth withholds what’s needed for real growth. When we hold both together, we build others up, reflect Christ, and grow in maturity. Truth in love isn’t easy—but it’s how real change happens.

Jesus came full of grace and truth, not choosing one over the other but holding both perfectly together (John 1:14). Truth without grace becomes harsh and hurtful, while grace without truth becomes shallow and misleading. When we live with both, we reflect the heart of Christ—bold in conviction, gentle in love. Following Jesus means we don’t have to choose between grace and truth—we’re called to live with both.

At some point, most of us wrestle with the question: Am I good enough? We compare ourselves, regret past decisions, or feel the weight of trying to do everything right. The truth is, on our own, we will never measure up—but we were never meant to. Our righteousness isn't what we achieve. It's what we receive from Jesus.

Peace can feel elusive in today’s world. News cycles are filled with conflict, our schedules are overloaded, and our thoughts often race with fear, regret, or anxiety. But in Scripture, God reveals Himself with a powerful name—Yahweh Shalom, which means The Lord Is Peace.

Pain is something none of us escapes. Whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual, we’ve all carried brokenness in one form or another. But Scripture introduces us to Jehovah Rapha—“The Lord Who Heals.” This isn’t a distant title or abstract idea. It’s a name God gives Himself, revealing a deep truth about His heart: God heals.

We all have moments when we feel invisible, overlooked, misunderstood, or forgotten. We wonder if anyone really sees us or understands what we’re going through. But in Scripture, we encounter El Roi, “The God Who Sees.” He is not distant or indifferent. He sees, He hears, and He cares.

When God called Abraham to do the impossible, Abraham obeyed because He knew who God is. He knew God was Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. This name of God is not a one-time description of something God has done in the past, but a name that reveals His ongoing character, actions, care, and provision.

When God revealed His name as Yahweh in the Old Testament, it wasn’t just a title—it was a declaration. Yahweh, the personal name of God, is used over 6,000 times in Scripture. It means “I Am Who I Am” (Exodus 3:14). He is not defined by time, culture, or circumstance. He simply is.

Prayer isn’t a performance—it’s a personal, daily connection with our loving Father. When Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them to pray, He gave them a model rooted in relationship, trust, and dependence. In every moment—good or hard—prayer anchors our hearts, aligns our lives with God’s will, and draws us closer to Him.
