Week 1 | Room for More
Jesus describes the kingdom of God as a great banquet. Some who were invited made excuses, so the host sent his servant into the streets and beyond, saying, “There is still room.” God’s heart reaches outward. He welcomes people others may overlook and calls His followers to make room so others can find their way home.
Week 2 | The Open Door
Paul was in prison when he asked the Colossian church to pray—not primarily for his release, but for an open door to share Christ. He trusted God to prepare opportunities and asked the church to pray that he would recognize them and respond with clarity, wisdom, and grace. We may not always see immediate results, but prayer prepares both us and others for what God wants to do.
Week 3 |Care Deeply
Jesus did more than preach good news. He went where people were, saw their needs, and had compassion on them. Matthew says the crowds were “harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.” Jesus cared deeply—and then He called His followers to enter the harvest with that same compassion.
Week 4 |Missions Sunday
Jesus sends His followers into the world with the good news. For some, that calling leads across oceans, into another culture, or to places where the name of Jesus is rarely heard. But the mission of Jesus also leads across the street, into our workplaces and schools, and toward people in need right here in our own community. We may not all go to the same places, but every follower of Jesus is called to participate in His mission.
Week 5 |Your Story for His Glory
A man who had been blind from birth encountered Jesus—and everything changed. When others questioned him, argued with him, and demanded explanations, he did not have all the answers. He simply told them what he knew: “One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” His story was his own, Jesus was at the center of it, and God used it for His glory.
Week 6 |The Invitation
God led Philip to a desert road where he encountered a man searching for answers. Philip listened to the Holy Spirit, recognized an opportunity, and accepted an invitation to share the good news of Jesus. Sometimes the most meaningful encounters begin with something as simple as listening, showing hospitality, or extending an invitation. We don’t have to have all the answers. We simply need to be available and willing to follow God’s leading.
