Philippians 2:3-4 (NIV)“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”In our spiritual walk, it’s easy to become so fixated on our own needs that we forget the very purpose of the church: to serve others. This is not to say we should neglect our own spiritual h...  Read More

This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, ‘We have never seen anything like this!’”He came in broken, carried by others.

Exodus 32:11–12 (NIV)“But Moses sought the favor of the Lord his God… ‘Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people.’”The Israelites had just turned their backs on God.

Mark 2:5 (NIV)“When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven.’”Faith doesn’t stop at obstacles—it climbs rooftops, digs through ceilings, and lowers broken people to the feet of Jesus.

John 4:35 (NLV)“Look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest.”Jesus didn’t tell His disciples to wait for the harvest—He told them to wake up and look around. The urgency wasn’t in the season, it was in their awareness. The people were ready. The need was present. But it would take someone willing to be interrupted to make a difference.In Luke 10, the Good Samaritan saw the man on the side...  Read More

Luke 19:41 (NLV)“But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.”Jesus wept. Not because He was weak, but because He was full of love.

His heart broke for the ones who rejected Him, and in that moment, He showed us what it loo...  Read More

Mark 2:3 (NIV)“Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them."On May 5, 1945, amidst the chaos of Hacksaw Ridge, Desmond Doss did the unthinkable.

Mark 2:5 (NIV)“When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, ‘Son, your sins are forgiven.’”The house was packed. The doorway blocked. The crowd too thick to press through.

So, they climbed the roof, tore it open, and lowered their friend down to the feet ...  Read More

Lamentations 3:25 (NIV)"The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him."Our posture before God greatly affects how we hear from Him.

1 Corinthians 16:9 (NIV)"Because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me."It’s easy to assume that when things are difficult or when opposition arises, it’s a sign that God is not in the situation.

Genesis 37:5-11 (NIV)"Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more.

Job 33:14 (NLT)"For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it."God is always speaking, but sometimes we don’t recognize His voice.
