This Month’s Faith Guide

Verse of the Month: "Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, 'My child, your sins are forgiven.'" Mark 2:5 (NLT)

Life Application from Sunday's Message:

Write down three names of people God has placed around you—neighbors,coworkers, family members, or friends—who need an invitation or needsomeone to help them take a step closer to Jesus. Don’t leave this vague. Putreal names on paper. Seeing the names makes the next steps more concreteand keeps us from staying in general intentions. That’s THREE names thatshould be added to the WHO IS YOUR ONE? Display case in the lobby!
Pray for those three people every day this week. Ask God to work in theirheart and yours—to open the right door and give you humility, courage, and theright words. Prayer is the first step of going beyond. We are not trying tomanufacture something in our own strength. We are asking God to go before us.
Extend one clear, specific invitation this week. Not “you should comesometime.” Something like, “We’re going this Sunday. I’d love to save you a seatand sit with you.” Make it as easy as possible for them to say yes. Specificinvitations remove unnecessary barriers and communicate that we actually wantthem with us.
Take one step toward being more planted—join a Connect Group, startserving, begin giving, or open God’s Word more consistently—so that goingbeyond becomes part of who you are. The more rooted we become, the morenaturally this starts to flow. Deep roots produce lasting fruit. Going beyond issustained by the same roots that keep us close to Jesus.
