January 21, 2026 | Becoming Like Jesus Scripture: Colossians 2:6–7 6  So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7  rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. Spiritual health grows through consistency, not hurry. Prayer, worship, Scripture, discipleship, and community aren’t short-term focuses. They are lifelong foundations.

January 20, 2026 | Becoming Like Jesus Scripture: Galatians 6:2 "Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Some things are simply too heavy to carry alone. God designed community so we wouldn’t have to. When burdens are shared, the weight becomes lighter. Carrying someone else’s burden means paying attention. It looks like noticing when someone is struggling, showing up with compassion, and walking with them patiently. In these times, Go

January 19, 2026 | Becoming Like Jesus Scripture: Philippians 3:12 “I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” Spiritual growth doesn’t have a finish line in this life.

As Scripture reshapes how we think, our reactions begin to change. Fear and anxiety fades, our faith rises, and we begin to see and underst

January 17, 2026 | Becoming Like Jesus Scripture: Habakkuk 3:17–18 “...Yet I will rejoice in the Lord!” Can you think of a season when you had to hold on to faith before you had answers? Habakkuk knew that kind of season well. His story shows us what faith looks like when answers haven’t arrived yet, but trust still remains. Habakkuk 3:17 Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie emp

January 16, 2026 | Becoming Like Jesus Scripture: Matthew 26:39 “Not as I will, but as You will.” In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus shows us what sincere prayer looks like. Honest desires are brought to God and placed in His hands with trust. One of the many powerful things prayer does is bring alignment. As we pray, our hearts slowly shift toward what God desires. We begin to want what He wants. And if our hearts don't quite yet line up with His, we can ask God to tender ou
