Some of us are one person on Monday night and somebody else by Tuesday at six. They know we go to church. They have been watching what it means. You don't work for the boss you can't stand. You work for Jesus. #LightInTheShadows

Some of us are waiting to get it all together before God can use us. That is not humility. That is fear with a good excuse. Jesus never said you will become the light. He said you are. #LightInTheShadows

Join us as we wrap up our series.

“Invite Your One” is a challenge to remember that most of us did not find our way to Jesus alone—someone invited us, walked with us, and helped us belong. Using the examples of Andrew, Simon Peter, Philip, and Nathanael, this message shows that following Jesus should naturally lead us to bring others toward Him. It also reminds us not to forget the pit God rescued us from, because remembering our own story restores compassion and urgency for people who are still far from God. The goal is simple: do not just tell your one about Jesus—invite them, walk with them, and help them take a step toward Jesus and Christian community.

Ninety-nine is a good enough number for a report. It was never a good enough reason to forget the one. Somebody stopped showing up and you noticed, but you told yourself it was not your place. The shepherd did not take attendance. He left the hillside and went. Somebody did that for you once, and they did not have the right words either. This week, make the call. No lecture, no fix. Just: hey, you have been on my mind, how are you really doing? Heaven counts one. So should we. #ForTheOne

Most of us rehearsed a speech before we ever came home. We had the apology ready and a plan to work off the debt. The son got to say he had sinned. He never got to say make me a hired servant. The father was not hiring. #ForTheOne

Living Sent challenges us to recognize that following Jesus means living with purpose wherever God has placed us. We are not just saved from our past—we are made new, given a mission, and sent to represent Jesus in our homes, workplaces, relationships, and everyday lives.

Nobody warned some of us that following Jesus was going to cost something. So the first time it hurt, we assumed we took a wrong turn. Paul knew exactly what was waiting for him and he walked toward it anyway, because he had found something worth spending a life on. The cost is real. The joy is greater.
