Pastor Awesome sees you pain

 Jesus saw hunger as pain and moved toward it (Mark 15). His disciples saw hunger as someone else’s problem. The difference is compassion. When you see pain, do you move toward it with relief or step back and hope someone else will?

Dismissing praying people

 Eli judged Hannah before he listened (1 Samuel 1). Who are you dismissing today — especially among the women and marginalized people God may be speaking through — and what would change if you stopped assuming and started listening?

Prove Your Love

 Jesus rejected man‑made traditions used to measure devotion (Matthew 15). Our extra rules can become pride traps. Do you show love for God through performance—or through caring for the people Jesus cared for?

Ruth's Life Choices

Ruth 3 shows God’s heart for the poor and the outsider. Ruth demonstrates the same heart by risking her own security to care for someone she didn’t owe anything to. Her love wasn’t limited, convenient, or self‑protective. So what about you—does your love reach beyond your circle, or only toward the people who love you back?

Which Jesus?

In Matthew 28, they worshipped—but some still doubted. Maybe they bowed to the Jesus they imagined, not the One who stood before them. Are we doing the same?

Rejoice and suffer?

Paul told the Philippians to rejoice—even from prison Phil 4. Maybe his joy wasn’t about comfort, but about seeing God’s work continue without him. What if our rejoicing looked more like that?
