What We Find in the Shepherd
by Ministry Support on June 4th, 2026
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake." - Psalm 23:1–3 When David wrote Psalm 23, he wasn’t describing a distant God who occasionally checks in. He was talking about a Shepherd who walks with His people every step of the way. Every line of th... Read More

From Sitting to Following
by Ministry Support on February 13th, 2026
"As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he rose and followed him." - Matthew 9:9 Matthew was not looking for Jesus when Jesus called him. He was not praying or reading Scripture or showing signs of deep repentance. He was sitting in a tax booth, doing a job most people hated him for, when grace interrupted his routi... Read More

When “But First” Gets in the Way
by Ministry Support on February 12th, 2026
"To another he said, ‘Follow me.’ But he said, ‘Lord, let me first go and bury my father.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.’" - Luke 9:59-60 There is a difference between saying yes and actually surrendering. There was a point in Luke 9 where Jesus was calling people to follow Him, and one man replied with a sentence... Read More

The Proof Is in the Remaining
by Ministry Support on February 7th, 2026
"If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned. If you abide in me and my words abide in you ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples." - John 15:6-8 At first glance, the disciple Judas looked like the rest. He... Read More

You Can Do Nothing Without Jesus
by Ministry Support on February 4th, 2026
"I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." – John 15:5 There is a kind of pressure that sneaks into your life when you believe everything depends on you. Maybe you’ve felt it. That need to perform, to achieve, to prove yourself to others or even to God. But this kind of pressure doesn’t produce fru... Read More

You Were Made for a Mission
by Ministry Support on February 2nd, 2026
"When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem." - Luke 9:51 Jesus didn’t drift. He didn’t meander from place to place, hoping life would eventually make sense. He lived with clarity, conviction, and purpose. And as His follower, you’re called to do the same. Luke 9:51 marks a turning point in Jesus’ ministry. Up until that moment, He had traveled through towns... Read More

You Are Called
by Ministry Support on February 1st, 2026
"Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, 'Follow me.' And he rose and followed him." - Matthew 9:9 You don’t have to clean yourself up before God can use you. He isn’t waiting on you to become impressive. He’s just waiting for you to follow. That might sound simple, but for a lot of us, it's hard to believe. Especially when you’ve been ... Read More

Stay in Your Lane and Follow Jesus
by Ministry Support on November 30th, 2025
“Jesus said to him, ‘If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!’” – John 21:22 In John 21, we see that Peter had just been restored by Jesus after denying Him. He was given a mission and a calling. But before he even took a step forward, he looked at John and asked, “What about him?” It’s a moment that feels all too familiar. Jesus had just spoken directly to... Read More

What Do You Want?
by Ministry Support on August 28th, 2025
"Jesus said to him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ And the blind man said to him, ‘Rabbi, let me recover my sight.’" - Mark 10:51 When Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus in Mark 10, the crowd tried to silence him. But he just got louder. He knew what he wanted, and when Jesus asked him directly, “What do you want me to do for you?” He did not hesitate. He had a clear desire, and he was not afraid... Read More

Pick Up What Matters Most
by Ministry Support on August 22nd, 2025
"Then Jesus said to his disciples, If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me." - Matthew 16:24 There is something brutal about a cross. It is not made for comfort. The wood is raw, the edges are splintered, and the weight is not just physical but emotional and spiritual too. It is not built for relaxation or ease. It is built for death. Jesus did no... Read More

The First Trade You Must Make
by Ministry Support on August 21st, 2025
"If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself…" – Matthew 16:24 You do not have to teach a child to be selfish. It just comes naturally. Maybe that is why a story like this hits home. A mom was making pancakes for her two young boys, Tom and Ryan, when a fight broke out over who would get the first one. Seizing the moment, she said, “If Jesus were here, He would say, ‘Let my brother ha... Read More
