"Red Letter Challenge: Get Going" 📖 Matthew 7:24-27 In this message introducing our new Lenten series, we're launching a 40-day journey focusing on the red letters—the actual words of Jesus. There are no shortcuts to discipleship. No quick fixes, no microwave gourmet meals, no get-rich-quick schemes that actually work. Jesus said, "Everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock." His words aren't just nice ideas—they're the solid foundation that keeps us standing when storms hit.
