Inspiring you to live EVERY day like Sunday.
Our Mission:
I interrupt our usual mission to invite you to join me as we enter Holy Week. I will be binge watching season 5 of The Chosen which tells the story of Jesus' last days until he is betrayed by Judas. If you haven't seen seasons 1-4 it's okay, there are no spoilers in this story. Please join me and share it with others.
Weekly Question to Ponder:
How can I practice unyielding charity?
Unyielding charity is a steady, disciplined commitment to love and serve others regardless of circumstances, convenience, or return. It is not swayed by fatigue, disappointment, or the worthiness of the recipient, but flows from a deeper conviction that compassion is a calling, not a transaction. This kind of charity shows up quietly and consistently, extending grace when it’s undeserved, offering help when it’s unnoticed, and choosing generosity even when it costs something real. It is resilient in the face of ingratitude and patient in the presence of need, rooted in the belief that true giving reflects character, not conditions.
Weekly Bible Verse:
Mark 10: 43-45
"Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Prayer of the Week:
Lord,
Fill my heart with a charity that does not waver.
Not one that rises only when it is easy,
but one that stands firm when it is tested.
Teach me to love without condition,
to give without keeping score,
to show kindness even when it is not returned.
When I grow tired, renew my strength.
When I feel wronged, soften my heart.
When I am tempted to turn away, draw me closer instead.
Let my words be gentle, my actions selfless,
and my spirit anchored in compassion.
Help me to see others as You see them,
worthy of patience, grace, and enduring love.
May my charity be steady, quiet, and unbreakable,
reflecting Your love in all I do.
Amen.

Empower Your Mind
Here is this month's suggested reading or audiobook
Written by Rick Warren, this book is a 40-day devotional built around one central idea: You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life won’t fully make sense.
Warren organizes the book around five purposes for every believer:
- Worship – You were planned for God’s pleasure.
Life is first about knowing and loving Him. - Fellowship – You were formed for God’s family.
Faith is not solo. It’s lived in community. - Discipleship – You were created to become like Christ.
Spiritual growth is intentional and lifelong. - Ministry – You were shaped to serve God.
Your gifts, personality, and experiences are meant to help others. - Mission – You were made for a mission.
Your life should point others to Christ.
The book pushes back against self-centered living. It opens with the line:
“It’s not about you.”
Empower Your Body
1 Corinthians 16:18
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."
