“I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.””
Psalms 122:1 NLT

Good morning and praise God. I hope you're having a great day and weekend.

The first time I read above verse was many years ago inscripted on a PCEA stone gate walls somewhere called Thunguma. I find it more interesting when faithfuls decide to spread the word rather than dwell on what looks like competitions. By the way the first church near my place of birth was the Holy Ghost of Eastern Africa commonly know us Wakorino Church. The next was a Catholic church. For eves and kesha I had two vibrant independent church. For baptism was in an Anglican church. In schools was interdenominational Christian union. By roadside Jehovah Witness with their pamphlets and in farm was other ministries in mission.

I have learned much and grew through all these and many others despite the propagandas out here in the world about each sect. The whole common Truth in them all has been Jesus Christ. I never entered Wakorino sanctuary but I can promise you sometimes I found solace standing outside their empty church by the altar in my own curiosity. I can also promise you I have learned much from Catholics especially their art in displaying the way of the cross. I won't mention them all but I can promise you that wherever I have been where the name of Christ is has been a place I would love to be again and again.

Take a moment and reflect like David on what interests you about the house of the Lord. David wanted to build one because he loved God so much but God didn't allow him do that. This tell us that the house was not what was important to God about David but rather that love David had towards Him. Isaiah, Stephen and Paul in the Bible reminds us of the same thing that God doesn't dwell in houses made by human hands. These houses we call church are our meeting points to exchange the warmth of us who believes in God and our Savior Jesus Christ. It is us who need that shelter and security of items we use there not God! God is not enclosed in that space and by the way if we are not careful we may find ourselves without His presence!

The House of God is supposed to be a place that we desire to be and spread this joy and Good News. Do you still have that eager to wakeup early and go to church? Do you still enjoy it? It is our duty to nurture our faith and believes in a way that pleases God . This is what will make these houses a place where others desires to come that we may meet together. This is especially to us called to lead. I have seen a single leader leaving and all who followed him do the same. It hurts because a many strands are better . We are the people God has chosen to build cohesion and we must do it brethrens. Be the Nehemiah and rebuild. Be the person who'll make more to desire to be in that church where you go.

God loves you, have a blessed day. Shalom. Shalom .

GRACE SENT | THE DISCIPLESHIP PRINCIPLE
Don’t Just Gather Crowds. Make Disciples Who Make Disciples.

In a world focused on followers, popularity, and numbers, we must remember what Jesus actually commanded us to do.

Matthew 28:19–20 (ESV)
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”

The goal isn’t simply to reach people. It’s to help people grow in Christ so they can reach others.

1. GATHERING CROWDS — ADDITION

Reaching large numbers of people can spread the Gospel, but our calling doesn’t end with getting people to listen.

We are called to teach God’s Word, encourage spiritual growth, and help others follow Jesus in their daily lives.

A crowd may hear the message, but disciples must be taught to live it.

2. MAKING DISCIPLES — MULTIPLICATION

Jesus didn’t just call people to follow Him. He trained His disciples to carry the Gospel forward.

2 Timothy 2:2 (ESV) teaches us to entrust what we have learned to faithful people who will be able to teach others also.

That’s multiplication: disciples making disciples who make disciples.

When we equip others to teach God’s Word, serve faithfully, and share the Gospel, the mission continues beyond us.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR GRACE SENT?

PRAY — Seek God’s direction.
LEARN — Grow in the truth of Scripture.
FOLLOW — Become more like Jesus.
SHARE — Proclaim the Gospel.
SERVE — Love others through action.
DISCIPLE — Teach others to follow Jesus.
SEND — Equip disciples to make more disciples.

Our mission isn’t to build our own following. It’s to point people to Jesus and equip them to follow Him.

We don’t measure faithfulness by applause, popularity, or numbers alone. We seek to be faithful to Christ and His Word, trusting Him with the fruit.

1 Corinthians 3:6–7 (ESV) reminds us that one plants, another waters, but God gives the growth.

We plant. We water. We teach. We serve. God gives the growth.

Grace Sent isn’t about making our name known. It’s about making Jesus known.

Broken. Redeemed. Sent.
Let’s make disciples who make disciples—for the glory of Jesus Christ!

Your turn: Who are you pouring into today, and how can you help them grow in Christ?

Greater Works Through the Risen Savior

A Devotional Bible Study Reflecting on John 14:12

“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” — John 14:12

The words of Jesus in John 14:12 offer a remarkable promise, but they also invite careful understanding. What could it mean for ordinary believers to do the works of Jesus, and even greater things? The answer begins with the setting in which He spoke. Jesus was preparing His disciples for His departure. The cross stood before Him, and the disciples were approaching a season of confusion and grief. Into their uncertainty, He spoke assurance. His departure would not end His work in the world. Through His death, resurrection, and return to the Father, a new chapter of that work would begin.

John 14 opens with Jesus urging His disciples not to let their hearts be troubled. Their confidence was to rest in God and in Him. He promised a place in His Father’s house and declared Himself the way, the truth, and the life. These assurances establish the foundation for verse 12. The promise of greater works belongs within a larger revelation of who Jesus is and what He accomplishes. It cannot be separated from His unique relationship with the Father, His saving mission, or the disciples’ dependence on Him.

Immediately before this promise, Jesus explains that His words and works reveal the Father. When Philip asks to see the Father, Jesus directs him to what has already been made known through His presence among them. His compassion, truth, authority, and holiness disclose the character of God. Jesus is not merely an example of religious devotion. He is the Son who makes the Father known. Therefore, when He promises that believers will share in His works, He is inviting them into a mission whose purpose is to reveal God’s goodness and draw people to faith.

The opening words, “Truly, truly,” emphasize the certainty and weight of the promise. Jesus knows the weakness of those listening. He knows that fear will scatter them and that Peter will deny Him. Nevertheless, He speaks of a future in which His work continues through believing people. Their coming failure will not have the final word. His grace will restore them, and His power will equip them. Christian service begins here: with confidence in the faithfulness of Christ, rather than confidence in the strength of His servants.

The phrase “whoever believes in Me” deserves close attention. Jesus does not describe a privileged spiritual class whose exceptional ability qualifies them for usefulness. Faith in Him is the defining relationship. This faith involves more than agreeing that certain statements about Jesus are true. It means entrusting oneself to Him, receiving His words, and depending on His saving authority. Believers do not become independent sources of divine power. They become people through whom the living Christ works. The emphasis falls on the One trusted, rather than on the believer’s ability to produce extraordinary results.

This guards against a damaging misunderstanding. John 14:12 should never become a weapon used to shame Christians who suffer, serve quietly, or do not witness dramatic miracles. Jesus does not teach that every believer will reproduce every event of His earthly ministry. Nor does He provide a method for measuring faith by visible success. Throughout Scripture, faithful servants experience both remarkable deliverance and prolonged hardship. The promise calls believers to expect Christ’s continuing activity, while leaving the form, timing, and outcome of that activity in His wise hands.

The works of Jesus included unmistakable signs of divine authority. He healed the sick, gave sight to the blind, fed the hungry, and raised the dead. Yet His works also included teaching truth, welcoming the outcast, exposing hypocrisy, and showing mercy to people burdened by sin. His signs were never empty displays. They pointed beyond themselves to His identity and the life available through Him. To participate in His works is therefore to serve His revealing and redeeming purpose. Christian ministry loses its direction whenever fascination with power overshadows love for people or faithfulness to the gospel.

The expression “greater things” has been understood in different ways by Christians, but Jesus supplies the essential clue: “because I am going to the Father.” The greatness of these works is connected to His departure and exaltation. It does not mean that His followers become greater than their Lord, improve upon His character, or accomplish a redemption more complete than His. His saving work is unique and sufficient. Rather, the promise points toward what becomes possible through His completed mission and the new era that follows His return to the Father.

During His earthly ministry, Jesus carried out His work within a particular geographical setting. After His resurrection and ascension, the message of His victory would spread through His witnesses to many peoples and nations. People who had never seen Him physically would come to know Him through the gospel. The church’s mission would extend across languages, cultures, and generations. In this expanding reach, believers would participate in works whose scope exceeded what the disciples had witnessed during Jesus’ earthly ministry. The greatness would display His triumph, not their superiority.

There is also a profound connection between these works and the fuller announcement of salvation after the resurrection. The disciples would proclaim a crucified and risen Savior whose victory had now been accomplished. They would announce forgiveness on the basis of His finished work and call people into the life of His kingdom. At Pentecost, the Spirit empowered their witness, and many received the message. The disciples who had once hidden in fear became public witnesses to the risen Lord. Such transformation demonstrates that the continuing mission depended on God’s action, not a sudden discovery of human strength.

Jesus’ return to the Father must therefore be understood as more than His absence from the earth. Through the cross, resurrection, and ascension, He accomplishes the mission for which He came and takes His place in heavenly glory. He remains actively involved with His people. The church does not inherit an unfinished task from a powerless or distant teacher. It serves a risen Lord who reigns and supplies what His mission requires. Christian hope rests in the reality that Jesus lives, and Christian service proceeds under His present authority.

Later in John 14, Jesus promises the Holy Spirit, the Helper who will remain with His disciples. This promise helps explain how His work will continue through them. They will not be left as orphans, forced to sustain the mission by memory and determination alone. God will dwell with them and in them through His Spirit. The same disciples who could not secure their own courage would receive divine help. Every generation of believers needs this reminder: organization, training, and effort have value, but none can replace the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

The verses immediately following John 14:12 also connect the promise with prayer in Jesus’ name. His people are to ask, and He will act so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Praying in His name means approaching God through Him and seeking what accords with His character and purposes. It is not a phrase added to the end of a request to guarantee a preferred result. Prayer brings Christian service into dependence on Christ. It teaches the church to seek His will, receive His provision, and give Him the glory.

The Father’s glory provides an essential test of how this passage is applied. If the pursuit of greater works produces pride, competition, manipulation, or a hunger for recognition, something has gone wrong. Jesus’ works directed attention to the Father. Works carried out in His name should bear that same direction. The servant who becomes more concerned with appearing powerful than with loving faithfully has lost sight of the promise’s purpose. Spiritual usefulness grows alongside humility because every lasting good comes through grace.

Practical obedience begins in the circumstances already before us. A believer may long for a remarkable opportunity while overlooking a neighbor who needs compassion, a family member who needs patient listening, or a person who needs to hear the gospel clearly. Sharing in Christ’s mission includes speaking truth with gentleness, feeding those in need, welcoming those who feel excluded, and extending forgiveness. These actions should not be casually equated with every dimension of the “greater works” promise, but they express the character of the Savior whose mission His people serve.

The promise also encourages courage in bearing witness. Many Christians feel inadequate to speak about Jesus because they lack advanced education or fear difficult questions. Learning matters, and honesty about the limits of one’s understanding is necessary. Yet the effectiveness of Christian witness does not finally depend on intellectual brilliance. A clear explanation of Christ’s death and resurrection, offered with humility and love, can become the means through which someone encounters the gospel. Believers are called to speak faithfully and trust God with the response.

At the same time, faithfulness requires patience. The work of God often unfolds in ways that are hidden from immediate observation. A conversation may bear fruit years later. A congregation may labor through a difficult season without seeing obvious growth. A parent may continue praying while a child remains distant from faith. John 14:12 does not authorize predictions about when desired changes must occur. It gives confidence that Jesus’ departure has not rendered His people helpless. They serve within a mission sustained by His life and directed by His wisdom.

This passage also challenges an overly individualistic understanding of Christian service. Although the promise includes “whoever believes,” the continuing story of the church reveals a people serving together through varied gifts. Some teach, some encourage, some give generously, and some care for those in distress. No single believer embodies the whole ministry of the church. The worldwide reach of Christ’s work involves countless acts of obedience woven together by the Spirit. Recognizing this frees believers from comparison and encourages them to value the contributions of others.

The character of Jesus must remain inseparable from the work done in His name. In John 13, He washes His disciples’ feet and commands them to love one another. These actions frame the farewell teaching that includes John 14:12. The promise of greater works emerges from the same Lord who kneels with a towel. Therefore, greatness in His service cannot be understood merely in terms of crowds, influence, or dramatic events. Any claim to spiritual power must be examined alongside humility, truthfulness, sacrificial love, and willingness to serve without applause.

For the church today, this means approaching ministry with both expectation and surrender. Expectation trusts that Christ can save, restore, heal, and open doors that human strength cannot open. Surrender refuses to dictate how He must act. Believers may pray boldly for healing while caring faithfully for those whose illness continues. They may ask for widespread awakening while patiently discipling a few people. They may pursue new opportunities while remaining obedient in ordinary responsibilities. Faith is active and hopeful, yet it remains submitted to the Lord who knows the whole purpose of His work.

John 14:12 ultimately directs attention back to Jesus. The promise begins with belief in Him and rests on His return to the Father. Its fulfillment depends on His victory, His Spirit, and His continuing action among His people. The church’s calling is to remain close to Him, receive His word, pray in His name, and obey His commands. The Savior who spoke these words has not abandoned His mission. Through the people He redeems and empowers, His gospel continues to reach the world, His compassion continues to touch wounded lives, and His Father continues to receive glory.

OBEY FIRST, UNDERSTAND LATER

Second Timothy 2:4 says, “No one who serves as a soldier gets entangled in civilian life. Rather, he seeks to please the one who sent him.”

When you receive an order, you lock the door to civilian thinking. All you need to know is: “I am obeying what I was told.”

If you are told to stand in a place — why are you standing there? “I was told to stand here.” Or, why haven't you left? “They told me not to leave until I've done it.” That's it.

Your friends can make you disobey. Your brethren can make you disobey. When they cause you to abandon what you were instructed to do, you have entangled yourself with civilian matters.

You ought to be around fellow soldiers who will keep you up and doing.

And there is a reward. The reward usually comes later, when you see the outcome of the mission you carried out.

For every piece you get and obey, you understand later.

I'm not saying you will understand fully. You may not know what happened when you obeyed. It may even be in heaven that we get to know what happened.

That is why you must learn to obey first. Obey first. Understand later.

Good morning and a happy Saturday!

TODAY'S KINGDOM INSIGHTS:

SERMON TOPIC:

DEALING WITH TOXIC PEOPLE: JESUS’ APPROACH.

Main Text:

John 15:18–19; Matthew 10:14; Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:27–28



When God chooses you, not everybody will celebrate you.
Sometimes, the greatest test of your calling is not the devil outside the church—it is how you respond to difficult, toxic, jealous, manipulative, or hostile people around you.
Jesus was perfect, yet people lied about Him, rejected Him, mocked Him, betrayed Him, and eventually crucified Him.

So if you are experiencing opposition because you are trying to live for God, do not immediately conclude that you have missed God's plan.
Jesus had enemies and still fulfilled His assignment.
The question is not, “How can I make everybody like me?”
The question is:
«“How can I remain Christlike when people treat me badly?”»
Jesus did not teach us to become toxic because others are toxic.
He taught us how to walk in love without becoming foolish, forgiveness without surrendering wisdom, and boundaries without hatred.
1. WHEN GOD CHOOSES YOU, EXPECT THAT NOT EVERYONE WILL ACCEPT YOU.
John 15:18–19
«“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.”»
Jesus never promised that everyone would understand you.
Some people will misunderstand your vision.
Some will criticize your obedience.
Some will become uncomfortable when they see God lifting you.
Some people loved Jesus when He performed miracles but rejected Him when His message confronted their hearts.
Spiritual Insight
Rejection does not always mean you are wrong.
Sometimes rejection is the price of standing for truth.
However, we must be careful. Not every criticism is persecution.
Sometimes people criticize us because we genuinely need correction.
Therefore, ask:
“Lord, is this opposition because I am obeying You, or because I need to change something in me?”
A mature Christian does not automatically call every critic an enemy.
2. JESUS DID NOT ALLOW TOXIC PEOPLE TO CONTROL HIS CHARACTER.
1 Peter 2:23
Jesus, when He was insulted, did not retaliate with insults.
Think about Jesus.
He was falsely accused.
He was mocked.
He was betrayed.
He was slapped.
He was spat upon.
Yet He did not allow wicked treatment to transform Him into a wicked person.
Matthew 5:44
«“Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them…”»
Jesus' approach was revolutionary.
He did not say:
“Hate those who hate you.”
He said:
“Love them.”
But understand this carefully:
Loving someone does not mean giving them unlimited access to your life.
You can love somebody and still establish boundaries.
You can forgive somebody and still be careful around them.
You can pray for somebody without giving them another opportunity to destroy you.
You can refuse revenge without refusing wisdom.
Remember:
Forgiveness releases your heart from bitterness; boundaries protect your assignment from unnecessary damage.
3. JESUS KNEW WHEN TO WALK AWAY.
One of the most important lessons from Jesus is that He did not respond to every person or every accusation.
Matthew 10:14
«“And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words... shake off the dust of your feet…”»
There were places Jesus left.
There were people He refused to argue with.
There were questions He did not answer.
There were crowds He walked away from.
John 8:59
When people attempted to stone Jesus, He hid Himself and went out of the temple.
Jesus understood that courage does not mean deliberately walking into danger.
Sometimes wisdom says:
“Leave.”
You don't have to win every argument.
You don't have to answer every accusation.
You don't have to explain yourself to everybody.
You don't have to attend every battle.
A powerful principle:
«Not every battle deserves your energy.»
Some battles are won by prayer.
Some are won by truth.
Some are won by silence.
And some are won simply by walking away.
4. JESUS LOVED PEOPLE WITHOUT ALLOWING THEM TO DISTRACT HIM FROM HIS ASSIGNMENT.
Jesus had an assignment.
He came to seek and save the lost.
He knew He was going to the cross.
Therefore, He refused to allow people's opinions to derail His mission.
Luke 9:51
«“He steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.”»
Jesus knew where He was going.
This is important when God chooses you.
If you don't understand your assignment, people's opinions will determine your direction.
One person's criticism can discourage you.
One person's rejection can make you abandon your calling.
One person's betrayal can make you stop trusting everyone.
But you must learn from Jesus:
People may change their opinion about you, but God's purpose for you remains bigger than their opinion.
Don't abandon your assignment because someone rejected you.
Don't stop serving God because someone betrayed you.
Don't stop loving people because one person hurt you.
5. JESUS DEALT WITH BETRAYAL WITHOUT BECOMING BITTER.
One of the most painful examples is Judas.
Judas walked with Jesus.
Judas heard Jesus teach.
Judas witnessed miracles.
Judas was close enough to Jesus to know where He would be.
Yet Judas betrayed Him.
Luke 22:47–48
Jesus knew Judas was coming to betray Him.
Yet Jesus still went forward with His mission.
This teaches us something powerful:
Being chosen by God does not mean everyone close to you will remain loyal to you.
Some people will leave.
Some will betray you.
Some will reveal their true character when they can no longer benefit from your presence.
But betrayal must not become your identity.
Jesus' response to Judas teaches us:

- Don't become bitter.
- Don't seek revenge.
- Don't abandon your calling.
- Don't let betrayal make you hate everybody.
- Learn the lesson.
- Establish wisdom.
- Keep your heart clean.
- Continue your assignment.

BIBLICAL CASE STUDY:

JESUS AND HIS ENEMIES.

Consider what Jesus experienced.
The religious leaders opposed Him.
Judas betrayed Him.
Peter denied Him.
The crowd shouted for His crucifixion.
Soldiers mocked Him.
Yet Jesus prayed:
Luke 23:34
«“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”»
What a response!
Jesus had every reason to retaliate.
But instead of asking the Father to destroy them, He asked the Father to forgive them.
This is the difference between human reaction and kingdom response.
The world says:
“Get even.”
Jesus says:
“Forgive.”
The world says:
“Destroy your enemies.”
Jesus says:
“Pray for them.”
The world says:
“Make them suffer because they hurt you.”
Jesus says:
“Do not allow their darkness to enter your heart.”

HOW TO DEAL WITH TOXIC PEOPLE THE JESUS WAY.

1. Pray before you react
Don't respond while your emotions are burning.
Take it to God first.
2. Don't repay evil with evil
Romans 12:17 says:
«“Recompense to no man evil for evil.”»
Let God handle vengeance.
3. Establish healthy boundaries
Biblical love does not require you to tolerate abuse, manipulation, constant disrespect, or destructive behavior.
Say no when necessary.
Say enough when necessary.
Walk away when necessary.
4. Don't gossip about the person
You cannot pray for someone sincerely while destroying their reputation behind their back.
5. Learn the lesson
Ask:
“What is God teaching me through this relationship?”
Sometimes God uses difficult people to teach us patience, wisdom, discernment, courage, and emotional maturity.
6. Keep your assignment
Don't allow one toxic person to make you abandon ten thousand people God wants you to bless.
7. Forgive, but don't forget wisdom
Forgiveness does not mean pretending nothing happened.
Forgiveness means refusing to live as a prisoner of what happened.

DEEP SPIRITUAL INSIGHTS.

1. Your character is tested by difficult people.
Anybody can appear patient around kind people.
But difficult people reveal what is truly inside us.
2. You don't have to become what hurt you.
Someone may have betrayed you.
Don't become a betrayer.
Someone may have lied about you.
Don't become a liar.
Someone may have manipulated you.
Don't become manipulative.
Let Christ define your character.
3. Distance can sometimes be wisdom.
Not every relationship must remain close.
There are people you can love from a distance.
4. Your peace is valuable.
Protect the peace God has given you.
Proverbs 4:23 says:
«“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”»
5. God can use rejection as redirection.
Sometimes the door that closes because of people's rejection becomes the very door through which God redirects you into your next season.

PRACTICAL ACTION STEPS.

This week:
1. Identify the relationship that constantly drains your spiritual and emotional strength.
2. Pray about it before making a major decision.
3. Examine yourself honestly.
4. Forgive where forgiveness is needed.
5. Establish appropriate boundaries.
6. Stop unnecessary arguments.
7. Refuse gossip and revenge.
8. Focus on the assignment God has given you.
9. Surround yourself with wise and godly people.
10. Ask the Holy Spirit to make you more like Jesus.

QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION.

1. Am I dealing with a toxic person, or am I simply dealing with someone who corrected me?
2. Have I allowed someone's behavior to change my character?
3. Is there bitterness in my heart?
4. Do I need to forgive someone?
5. Do I need to establish a healthy boundary?
6. Am I wasting energy trying to convince people who have already decided to misunderstand me?
7. What is God asking me to learn from this difficult relationship?
8. Am I allowing people to distract me from my God-given assignment?

POWERFUL PRAYER POINTS.

1.
Father, give me the wisdom to recognize toxic relationships and the courage to establish godly boundaries.
2.
Lord, remove bitterness, hatred, revenge, and unforgiveness from my heart.
3.
Father, help me respond to difficult people with the character of Christ.
4.
Lord, give me discernment to know who should be close to me and who should be kept at a healthy distance.
5.
Father, protect me from people who want to destroy my purpose, and protect me from becoming toxic to others.
6.
Lord, heal every wound caused by betrayal, rejection, disappointment, and false accusations.
7.
Father, keep me focused on my assignment. Do not allow people's opinions to derail Your purpose for my life.
8.
Lord Jesus, make my heart like Yours—strong enough to establish boundaries and soft enough to forgive.

STRONG CLOSING CALL TO ACTION.

Child of God, you cannot control how people behave toward you, but you can control how you respond.
Don't allow a toxic person to turn you into a toxic person.
Don't allow betrayal to make you bitter.
Don't allow rejection to make you give up.
Don't allow criticism to silence your calling.
Don't allow somebody else's darkness to extinguish your light.
Look at Jesus.
He was rejected, but He remained loving.
He was betrayed, but He remained faithful.
He was attacked, but He remained focused.
He was crucified, but He still forgave.
And after the cross came the resurrection!
Therefore, keep going.
Forgive.
Set boundaries.
Walk wisely.
Protect your peace.
Stay focused.
Keep loving.
And above all, keep following Jesus.
«“When God chooses you, He does not promise that everyone will love you. He promises to be with you—and His presence is greater than people's rejection.”»

Final Declaration.

I will not become bitter because I was betrayed.
I will not become hateful because I was rejected.
I will not abandon my assignment because someone opposed me.
I will walk in wisdom, love, forgiveness, and godly boundaries.
My eyes are on Jesus, and my life will fulfill God's purpose.
In Jesus' name, Amen!
Your assignment is greater than your opposition.
Your purpose is greater than their opinion.
And God's grace is greater than every toxic relationship you may face.

Imagine you’re an alien flying in from the other side of the galaxy. As you approach earth, your adjutant says, “There’s a large group down there called Christians. They have a book. Do you want to know what they believe?” You agree, and you’re handed a New Testament. You read the Gospels. You work through the book of Acts. You read about the birth of the church, its gatherings, its persecution, its mission, its life together. Then you land. You get off the ship and walk into what we call “church” today. Would you even recognize this as the same group you just read about?

30 Days in James — Show Me Your Faith

DAY 9: Favoritism is a Bad Look
(James 2:1-4)

Don't show favoritism. If a rich guy in gold rings gets the best seat, and a poor guy gets a footstool—you've become judges with evil thoughts.
God doesn't play favorites. Neither should His people.
The Gospel is an equal-opportunity rescue mission.

Question: Are you treating people differently based on their "net worth" or their "eternal worth"?
