Overcome Evil with Good
September 20, 2026
Colossians 2:13-15 closes the week at the cross, where God found us dead in sin, canceled the record against us, and nailed it to the wood—not to punish us, but to free us. Like a father crouching among the snakes saying “jump on my back,” God took the strike meant for us. Every memory from this week points to this one memorial. If we remember the cross, the only response is to stop navigating the darkness alone and hold on.

What Is That in Your Hand?
September 20, 2026
Exodus 4:2-5 teaches us that God can use what is already in our hands, even when it seems ordinary or unimpressive, for His greater purposes. Instead of focusing on what we lack, we can open our hands, surrender what we have to God, and trust Him to use it in ways we never could on our own.

Words That Stay
September 20, 2026
John 10:27 ties the whole week together: the sheep listen to the shepherd's voice, and the clearest place to hear that voice is the Bible—every time you open it, the good shepherd is speaking. The more you read, the more you know the One who already knows you completely, and it turns into a real friendship. And it never stops at your head; his voice leads your feet, following him through school, home, everywhere. The words you read this week don't disappear—they stay tucked in your heart, speaking long after you close the book.

Before Me = Beside Me
Exodus 20:3 reminds us that God doesn’t just want to be first in our lives—He wants to be the only one on the throne, with no rivals, backups, or competing affections. This calls us to clear away anything we've placed beside Him and renew our wholehearted allegiance to Him alone.

Don’t Waste Your Worship
Exodus 20:1–3 reminds us that true freedom begins with wholehearted worship of God, who rescues before He commands; when we give our hearts to anything else, we trade freedom for false security and empty promises. This calls us to examine where our trust and hope truly lie, so we don’t waste our worship on what can never save.

He’s Worth Everything
Luke 14:33 calls us to a life of full surrender, reminding us that following Jesus means giving up everything—not out of loss, but to gain the freedom, purpose, and fullness only He can offer. True discipleship begins where self ends, and in giving Him all, we receive far more than we ever let go.

Stay Salty
Luke 14:34–35 urges us to remain spiritually sharp and distinct, warning that a faith that blends in and loses its edge is no longer useful for God’s purposes. Staying salty means daily choosing passion over passivity, conviction over compromise, and closeness to Christ over comfort.

You’re Not the Main Character
Luke 14:31–33 reminds us that true discipleship means total surrender, as Jesus is the true King—not us—and following Him requires giving up our own plans, control, and comforts to fully embrace His authority and purpose. Only by laying everything down can we receive the life He offers and step into His greater story.

Count the Cost
Luke 14:28–30 challenges us to count the cost of following Jesus, reminding us that true discipleship requires steady, lifelong commitment—not momentary enthusiasm—built brick by brick through daily surrender, endurance, and grace.

Carry the Cross
Luke 14:27 reminds us that true discipleship means daily surrender—laying down our comfort, pride, and control to follow Jesus fully, not for show but as a way of life shaped by love, obedience, and lasting transformation.

Jesus > Family
Luke 14:26 challenges us to love Jesus so supremely that all other attachments—even to family—pale in comparison, calling us to reorder every relationship and priority around full devotion to Him. This isn’t about neglecting others, but about letting Christ become the center from which we truly learn how to love them well.

When the Crowd Gets Loud
Luke 14:25 reminds us that following Jesus requires more than enthusiasm—it demands commitment, even when it costs us the crowd’s approval. In a culture driven by likes and popularity, we’re called to choose obedience over acceptance, trading hype for holiness and learning to value Christ’s voice above all others.

First Things First
Matthew 6:33 reminds us to begin the year by seeking God’s kingdom above all else, trusting that when He is our first priority, everything else falls into its rightful place. This is an invitation not just to plan better, but to live centered—aligning our daily decisions, desires, and direction with the presence and purposes of Jesus.
