Day 5 —You’re Here—So Let’s Be Here TogetherScripture: 1 Corinthians 12:27“Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.”Think about a piano.One hand can make music.But when the hands, fingers, feet, pedals, timing, and mind all work together, something much greater happens.That’s the picture of the church.You matter.But you aren’t the whole body.I matter.But I’m not the whole body.We ...  Read More

Day 4 —Come to the Table, Not Just the Service Scripture: Luke 10:41–42“Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed…”There is a difference between being in the room and being present.Martha was physically near Jesus.But Mary was intentionally sitting at His feet.Church attendance by itself doesn’t produce discipleship.You can sit in a chair every Sunday ...  Read More

Day 2 —Keep GrowingScripture: 2 Peter 3:18“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”One of the greatest dangers in the Christian life is becoming satisfied with where we are.We can know enough Scripture to answer questions.We can know enough church language to sound spiritual.We can have enough experience to think we’ve figured things out.But discipleship never ends...  Read More

Day 3 —Stop Looking for Someone to BlameScripture: Philippians 4:8“Whatever things are true… noble… just… pure… lovely… of good report… meditate on these things.”Sometimes we disconnect from church because something didn’t go the way we wanted.The music wasn’t right.The temperature wasn’t right.Someone distracted us.The message wasn’t what we expected.Someone didn’t talk to us.The service didn’t “...  Read More

Day 1 —We Need Each Other Scripture: Hebrews 10:24–25“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works…”It is easy to think of church as something we attend.We go to church.We hear a message.We sing some songs.We go home.But Scripture gives us a much bigger picture.The church is not simply a place we go. The church is a people we belong to.There will be seasons when you need...  Read More

Friday — Forward DayThe week is almost done. Sunday is almost here. And somewhere between now and then, God wants to use you — exactly as you are.Today's Scripture: "The same Spirit who brought Aquilla and Priscilla, who spoke to Paul in the night, who used two tentmakers to raise up one of the greatest leaders in the early church — that Spirit lives in you.""Now to him who is able to do far more ...  Read More

Thursday — Testimony DaySometimes God doesn't show up the way we expect. Sometimes He shows up driving a wrecker at 3 a.m.Today's Scripture: "He found a certain Jew named Aquilla... and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked." — Acts 18:2–3Reflection: In Sunday's sermon, Pastor Scott shared a story that stopped the room.It was early in his walk with Jesus. A nightmare sce...  Read More

Wednesday — Application DayWe're at the midpoint of the week — a good place to pause and ask: how is Sunday's message actually changing how I live?Today's Scripture: "When Aquilla and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately." — Acts 18:26Reflection: Apollos was gifted, passionate, and sincere — but he had an incomplete picture. So Aquilla and Pr...  Read More

Tuesday — Challenge DayHave you ever been doing everything right — showing up, working hard, trying to follow God's lead — and the opposition came anyway?Today's Scripture: "Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city." — Acts 18:9–10Reflection: Paul was preaching. He w...  Read More

Monday — Foundation DayWhat if the most important thing God is looking for in you isn't talent, a title, or a track record — but just your availability?Today's Scripture: "After these things, Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth. And he found a certain Jew named Aquilla... and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for by occupation they were tentmakers." — Acts...  Read More

Friday — Forward DayAs you head into the weekend, here's one thing worth carrying with you: the same Spirit who moved through Acts 16 lives in you right now.Today's Scripture: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." — Acts 16:31Reflection: We've walked through a lot this week. We've sat with closed doors and the discomfort of redirection. We've been hones...  Read More

Thursday — Testimony DayWhat would it take for you to sing in the dark — not when things got better, but right in the middle of the worst of it?Today's Scripture: "But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were...  Read More
