World Famous
September 22, 2026
Hebrews 11:8-10 remembers Abraham, who left comfort at seventy-five and went without knowing where he was going. He traded a settled home for tents because he was looking ahead to the city whose architect and builder is God. Faith under pressure isn't recklessness or certainty; it's trusting the mapmaker instead of the map. The invitation is to take the step of obedience you've been delaying until you could see the whole picture.

Not Many of You
September 22, 2026
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 teaches us that God does not choose people according to the world’s standards of influence, strength, or importance; He intentionally works through the ordinary and overlooked so the glory belongs to Him. Instead of waiting until we feel impressive enough to be useful, we can make ourselves available and trust God to work through us as we are.
