We all long for purpose. We want to know that who we are and what we do matters. Jesus didn't save us to just sit. He saved us and placed us on mission. In Matthew 28, Jesus gives His followers a clear mission: make disciples. But what does it mean to be a disciple and to make disciples? Looking at the life and ministry of Jesus, we see that He didn't just call His disciples to believe in Him but to follow Him. Jesus isn't just interested in our conversion; He's interested in our transformation. Discipleship is being formed to be sent. The Great Commission isn't just about sharing the Good News. It's about walking with people, teaching them, and showing them how to follow Jesus. Every follower of Jesus has been called to make disciples. God is sending you into your home, school, workplace, and community. Stop waiting on someone else. Who is God calling you to, and what are you going to do about it?

Pieces | Do You Trust God?
Life is hard, and there are circumstances that can leave us shattered and broken. Sometimes God answers our prayers exactly the way we think He should, and it’s easy to celebrate His faithfulness. But it doesn’t always turn out that way. When it doesn’t, our faith is tested and it can feel like our faith is shattered. In Ezekiel 37, Ezekiel is sitting in a valley of dry bones surrounded by what is lifeless and hopeless. God asks Ezekiel if he believes God can restore the mess and fix what has been broken. Ezekiel’s response shows a posture fully dependent on God’s plan, trusting God with the outcome whether the dry bones come back to life or not. Do you trust God with the outcome? Trusting God’s plan doesn’t mean we have to like it. But when we surrender our plan to His plan, it ignites a work of God. Give what is scarred, shattered, and broken into the right hands. God wants to rebuild our faith, take what is shattered, and put it back together.

Pieces | When the Enemy Attacks Your Identity
The enemy wants to create an identity crisis in our lives. While he wants the believer to question their identity, he wants the unbeliever to embrace an identity apart from God. We were all once rebels, but Jesus wants to rescue us from being a rebel to being redeemed. For those who are in Christ, the enemy wants to keep us stuck in our past and defined by our struggles. But when we can’t out-think the enemy, we out-truth him with the Word of God. You are not your past. You are not your struggle. You are not defined by your scars but by Jesus’ scars. Because of Jesus, you are redeemed, you are new, and you are His. There is only One who has the authority to name you, and it’s the One who purchased you. As Satan tries to name you, don’t forget that the Savior calls you His. Quit looking back and look up. There’s an empty cross and an empty tomb that names you.
