In John 9, the man who was healed from blindness boldly shared how Jesus changed his life, even in the face of opposition. If Jesus has transformed your life, you have a powerful story to tell, too. Whether it’s how you came to faith, who planted the seed, or how you’ve grown, your testimony can glorify God and encourage others.

Take time to evaluate your transformation—look back, see how much you’ve changed, and share it courageously. Just like the healed man, let your story point others to Jesus.

Love isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. Join us this Sunday at Rockwell Church as we begin our new series, Love in Action, with the message “Love in Action Flows from Jesus Through Us.” True love is more than emotions; it’s a daily decision to show kindness, patience, and forgiveness. As we explore 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, we’ll see that love isn’t perfect, but it grows, learns, and perseveres when it’s rooted in Christ. Without Him, our love falls short, but when we abide in Jesus, His love flows through us, changing how we love others.
