We live in a culture that prizes ownership. Owning your home, your business, your car, your time—these are badges of success. But Jesus invites us into a radically different mindset: you don’t own any of it.

You’re a manager. A steward. And that’s not a downgrade—it’s a divine appointment.

Money plays a significant role in our lives, but have you ever paused to ask: How does God view money? According to Jesus, money isn’t just a resource—it’s a mirror of the heart.

Shalom. It’s more than peace; it’s wholeness. It’s when everything is in the right relationship—with God, with ourselves, with others, and even with creation.

But if you look around, you’ll see…

We all admire Jesus for His teaching, miracles, and sacrificial love, but there’s another side of His ministry that’s quietly powerful: He served. He welcomed. He noticed people others ignored. And He didn’t wait until it was convenient.

We often picture poverty as a lack of money, food, and shelter. But what if it’s deeper than that?

It’s a sobering thought: one day, Jesus will separate the sheep from the goats—not by beliefs we’ve claimed or songs we’ve sung, but by what we did for those in need. Jesus paints the picture clearly in Matthew 25.

In Luke 10, Jesus is asked a seemingly spiritual question: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” His answer leads us into one of His most powerful parables—the story of the Good Samaritan. But don’t let the familiarity of the tale rob it of its impact. Jesus wasn’t just telling a nice story; He was redefining what it means to live a compassionate life

In both small groups that I’m a member of, we’re diving into Dutch Sheets' book, Intercessory Prayer. This is a deeply thought-provoking read that opens up a powerful understanding of how God utilizes prayer to enact change in our lives and the world around us.

Often underestimated, prayer is one of the most powerful tools available to believers. Prayer is a spiritual practice and a direct conduit to God's heart and transformative power. In his book Intercessory Prayer, Dutch Sheets unveils the profound truth that prayer is not just a conversation with God but a sacred partnership where we work alongside Him to manifest His will on earth. Through prayer, we are invited to partake in God's redemptive work, altering circumstances, shattering spiritual strongholds, and even reshaping the destiny of nations.
