5th Sunday

Big idea: Aligning our perspective with God’s will.

Main Point:  Pray, give, go

We tend to view the world through a very narrow lens—our own. This limited perspective often blinds us to the incredible diversity, the beauty, and the life that other cultures bring. On the other hand, we might have developed a us-versus-them mentality. What if we stepped back to see how God encourages us to engage different nations? We often make elaborate plans for our lives, attempting to chart every course. Yet, in reality, our lives are not entirely our own; it is the Lord who ultimately determines our steps. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we are called to go into all nations, as Jesus Himself commands us to step out, participating in His will being done on earth as it is in heaven.
