You can’t do everything God has called your community to do by yourself. He has gifted other people to bring something you need.

In Ephesians 4:11–13, Paul describes apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers, given to equip God’s people and build up the body of Christ. APEST helps us remember these five functions:

Apostles build and pioneer. They advance the kingdom into new places and develop new ways to make disciples.

Prophets bring God’s heart and direction, helping people discern and respond faithfully to Him.

Evangelists keep reaching the lost a priority. They help us look beyond the people already involved.

Shepherds pastor and care for people. They nurture relationships, counsel, disciple, and minister to people’s needs.

Teachers explain God’s Word, bringing biblical truth, understanding, and right thinking.

We need all five functions represented. That doesn’t necessarily mean five people, each carrying a title. Someone may contribute in several areas. But no one person brings every strength at the same level.

We can serve in areas outside our strongest gifts, but we shouldn’t build everything around our own abilities and expect that to be enough.

If everyone thinks like a builder, who is caring for the people? If everyone focuses inward, who is reaching the lost? If everyone pursues something new, who is grounding it in biblical truth?

Consider your church, outreach ministry, Christian organization, or leadership team. Whose strengths complement yours? Which voice is missing? Who could help fulfill a function that has been neglected?

The goal is to equip people so the whole body grows into maturity in Christ.

Identify one missing function. Then begin a conversation with someone who could help strengthen that part of the team.

God’s work in your community needs more than what you can bring alone.

Eventually, the things we buy will wear out, fall apart, or be left behind. But the experiences we share can keep shaping us and the people around us.

Even our memories can fade in this fallen world. I believe God can restore what has been lost, and that the meaning of a life lived with Him reaches beyond what we can presently remember.

So let’s be intentional about creating meaningful memories. Take the trip. Learn a skill. Try an adventure. Spend time with people. Enjoy the life God has given you—and consider how those experiences can also serve His purposes.

We sometimes act as though we have to choose between having fun and being missional. But sharing life can create opportunities to share Jesus, encourage another believer, or help someone take their next step in faith.

You don’t have to fly halfway around the world. What opportunities are right around you?

Paul shared the gospel in places where people were already discussing beliefs and ideas. At the Areopagus, he connected with questions people were already considering. (Acts 17:16–34)

Where are people near you gathering around purpose, meaning, service, or improving their community? Could you join them, listen, contribute, and share your faith naturally as you build relationships?

As you plan this weekend, ask:

• What would I enjoy trying, and where could I do it with others?
• What local group, class, discussion, or volunteer project welcomes newcomers?
• Where are people already asking meaningful questions or working to meet a need?
• Who could I invite—or reconnect with—so we can encourage one another?

Choose one opportunity. Check when it meets. Invite someone or contact the organizer.

Jesus calls us to store up treasure in heaven. (Matthew 6:19–21) Let’s invest our time in people and experiences with lasting value.

What memory could you make this weekend—and whose life might be strengthened because you showed up?

Have you ever started your day with 50 things to do and already felt overwhelmed? Family, work, finances, caring for others—even good and important things can leave us wondering where to start.

When Jesus visited Martha and Mary, Martha was busy with the preparations. She was practicing hospitality and serving the Lord. Those were good things. But Mary sat at His feet, listening, learning, being His student. Jesus said she had chosen what was better. (Luke 10:38–42)

I can relate to Martha. It’s easy to measure a fruitful day by how much we crossed off the list.

But I had a vision from the Lord where I pictured myself sitting at His feet. He was on His throne, high and exalted. I couldn’t see anything from His waist up. It reminded me of the Scripture that says heaven is His throne and earth is His footstool. (Isaiah 66:1)

There’s so much we don’t see down here. Our view is limited. Our perspective is narrow. We see what’s right in front of us and feel the pressure of everything demanding our attention. But we need to go to God to get heaven’s perspective.

We need to hear His heart. We need to sit at His feet.

That’s where we bring our worries, stresses, fears, priorities, tasks, to-do lists, and overwhelming feelings—and surrender them to Him. We let Him realign those things according to His will.

Then our service can flow from hearing Him. We can focus on the right things in our day-to-day lives, trusting His wisdom beyond what we can see.

Mary’s listening could lead to action. If Jesus called her to serve, she could respond. But she was hearing from Him first.

Before you tackle everything today, give Him your attention. Open His Word. Pray. Listen. Let Him shape what comes next.

This is how we surrender, trust, obey, and follow His lead.

A lot of things will come and go, but relational equity lasts. Sometimes the relationship lasts. Sometimes the memories last. Either way, time spent loving, enjoying, and encouraging one another can continue shaping us long after the moment has passed.

“Two are better than one,” Ecclesiastes reminds us. When one falls, the other can help them up. Together, we find encouragement, protection, and strength that we don’t have alone. (Ecclesiastes 4:9–12)

We can put mission, business, career, and money first and still miss something deeply important. Relationships deserve some of our best time and energy, too.

There is something special about two souls interacting. Our thoughts, our will, our emotions, our memories, our desires, our personalities—all that makes us who we are—meeting another person who brings their own experiences. We listen. We laugh. We share something honest. We feel understood. We help each other carry what would be heavier alone.

Love takes shape through those interactions. And this connects to God’s desire for relationship with us. We were made to know Him and to love one another.

I don’t always appreciate, value, or pursue relationships as much as I should. Maybe you can relate. It’s easy to assume there will be more time after the work is finished or life settles down. But there is always more work.

I think many of us will look back near the end of our lives and realize these moments mattered more than we understood. The conversation. The shared meal. The person who showed up. The time we made room for someone.

Invest a little today. Reach out. Make the call. Put the phone down and listen. Let someone know they matter.

Each small investment helps build a relationship that can strengthen both of you.

Who are you becoming?

When you look in the mirror, you may see your mistakes, your weaknesses, or someone still trying to figure life out. But in Christ, your old self doesn’t have to determine who you become.

Romans 6:6, 11 reminds us that our old self was crucified with Jesus so we would no longer be slaves to sin. We are to count ourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Because of what He has done, we can begin living from that new identity now.

God is calling you out of sinfulness, immaturity, and wandering—and into a life that reflects Jesus. Romans 8:29 points us toward becoming like Him. That shared purpose also makes room for your unique gifts, skills, wisdom, testimony, and calling. Ephesians 2:10 reminds us that we are created in Christ for good works God prepared for us.

Discovering and growing into that purpose happens through everyday choices. What will you believe? What values will you embrace? How will you use your time, energy, talent, and treasure? Will you take responsibility, tell the truth, practice self-control, and follow through?

Each small step helps determine your overall direction. And each small step is doable.

As you mature, you learn to take responsibility for yourself and work with others, bringing your strengths alongside theirs. You become more grounded in Jesus: calm when the world is confused, steady when life is difficult, and courageous when speaking truth costs you something. Bold yet humble. Determined yet loving. Strong enough to stand firm and willing to serve.

Look beyond who you have been. Consider who God is calling you to become. Then choose one action today that reflects that person.

Live each day becoming that person in Christ.

Live on Mission, but Make Room for Recreation.

Life is short, and as Christians, we want to make our time count for God’s kingdom. But living with purpose doesn’t mean eliminating pleasure, recreation, or opportunities to rest and enjoy life.

Jesus was completely devoted to His mission, yet He attended weddings, shared meals with friends, and regularly withdrew for time alone with the Father.

There’s a difference between enjoying pleasure and living for pleasure.

Recreation becomes a problem when it begins controlling our priorities or replacing what matters most. But enjoying a good meal, spending time with friends, pursuing a hobby, or simply relaxing isn’t inherently unproductive or unfaithful.

In 1 Corinthians 10:29–31, Paul reminds us that we can enjoy ordinary things with thanksgiving to God. While our freedom should never be exercised at the expense of others, we shouldn’t condemn innocent activities simply because someone else disapproves.

God is our loving Father, and His gifts are meant to be enjoyed with gratitude and a clear conscience.

Make time for rest. Make room for recreation. Enjoy God’s good gifts without making them the purpose of your life.

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” —1 Corinthians 10:31

Develop Leaders, Not Dependents.

One of the most important responsibilities of a good leader is developing other leaders.

Leadership isn’t about building a group of people who continually depend on you for direction, decisions, and approval. It’s about equipping others with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and authority to step forward and lead themselves.

That means investing in people, preparing them for responsibility, and then giving them the freedom to take ownership. Let them make decisions, pursue opportunities, solve problems, and even learn from mistakes. If we insist on controlling every detail, we’re not developing leaders. We’re maintaining dependents.

But empowerment doesn’t mean abandonment.

People stepping into leadership need to know someone believes in them and has their back. They need encouragement, occasional accountability, and someone they can turn to for wisdom or guidance when challenges arise. They shouldn’t need permission for every decision, but they should know support is available when they need it.

This is an important part of Christian discipleship, too. Our goal isn’t simply to gather followers or teach people to depend on us. It’s to help them grow toward spiritual maturity, develop their gifts, and become equipped to lead and serve others.

Paul demonstrated this principle when he instructed Timothy to entrust what he had learned to reliable people who would be qualified to teach others (2 Timothy 2:2). That’s leadership multiplication.

Great leaders don’t measure success by how many people depend on them, but by how many people they’ve empowered to succeed without depending on them.

Equip them. Trust them. Give them room to grow. Remain available to support them.

Give people the freedom to lead independently, but the confidence of knowing they’re never alone.

Dream of Tomorrow. Love Today.

Don’t become so consumed with the life you imagine that you neglect the life God has given you.

It’s good to have dreams, visions, and goals. We should pursue opportunities to grow, improve, and accomplish greater things. But there’s a difference between pursuing a meaningful vision and becoming consumed with a fantasy.

Sometimes we’re so busy imagining the perfect relationship, dream job, ideal ministry, or better circumstances that we fail to recognize the opportunities God has already placed in front of us.

We imagine what we could accomplish with a larger audience while neglecting the people we’re already called to serve. We dream about the perfect relationship while failing to sacrificially love the person beside us. We long for different circumstances while withholding our best efforts from the responsibilities we already have.

Love is not merely a feeling. It’s a verb. It’s choosing to give ourselves, sacrifice, serve, invest, and remain faithful—even when our circumstances aren’t what we would have chosen.

Contentment doesn’t mean settling for less, abandoning ambition, or refusing to pursue change. It means learning to appreciate and fully invest ourselves in the reality God has entrusted to us while continuing to work toward a better future.

Don’t sacrifice what’s real for what’s imaginary. Don’t allow the pursuit of tomorrow’s possibilities to rob today’s people and opportunities of your devotion.

Whatever your circumstances, give your all to what is in front of you. Love the people. Steward the opportunities. Fulfill your responsibilities. Pursue your goals without neglecting your present.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.” — Colossians 3:23

Dream of tomorrow. But love today.

Leaders take charge. They see a need or an opportunity and they step in. Followers wait until the leader acts first. While leading has its perks, it’s the more difficult path.

In the front of the line, there’s more uncertainty, risk, danger, discomfort, and judgment from others. You’re vulnerable to be attacked first from your opponents on the other side. You may be insulted, slandered, intimidated, threatened or attacked to stop.

You’re also more likely to be judged by your own followers. Your motives may be questioned. You’re likely to have those with special interest trying to persuade the direction you go in to serve their interests. And you’ll get blamed if it doesn’t work out. If you succeed, you’ll be praised as a good leader. If you fail, whether it’s due to things you could control or not, it’s your fault: you’re the one who failed.

At its heart though, leadership is about seeing a need or an opportunity and trying to make it. It takes a willingness to get uncomfortable to achieve something great. Others may follow your lead. But I don’t think you need followers to be a great leader.

You may have a cause or mission that few people care about. If you pursue it, whether you have help or not, you’re leading. There were plenty of times the Apostle Paul felt like he had few followers, but he was still a good leader (2 Tim. 4:16-17). The same with Jesus, who was deserted by all or most several times (John 6:66, Mark 14:50).

Leaders press on, driven by an inner sense that they should remain committed even if they have to go at it alone. The Holy Spirit leads us, so that we may be leaders who do what is right, and take those paths less traveled.

Psalms 32:8 reminds us that, even when we’re alone, God is still with us. And even when it feels like we’re leading on our own, God is leading and instructing us.

We’re all to become leaders in our own lives. Perhaps some will follow us, but we’re to lead either way. Go and do what the Lord is putting on your heart to do. If it glorifies the Lord, makes you more like Jesus, builds His kingdom, is done with wisdom, and is being prompted by Him, you won’t regret it!

See the Need and Lead!

James 1:27 says, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

Religion is often many things: a business enterprise, divine law, moral guidelines, ceremonies, rituals, buildings and temples, formal structure, systems, order, spiritual practices, and beliefs.

It certainly can include these things, and they can be good, but rarely is it good when any of these become the main thing. These are sides, they shouldn’t be the main course.

At its heart, true religion is a spirituality, a lifestyle, and connection with God. That’s its purpose. That’s its foundation, core, and heartbeat. And whenever our religion forgets this it becomes perverted and corrupted into something God never intended it to be.

James cuts through the noise to point us back to something simple: good religion keeps us from sin, and by remaining pure it deepens our relationship with God.

And he reminds us that it is loving and caring for others, especially those who are unable to care for themselves, that lives out the character that God desires us to possess.

There were no government programs, no social security or welfare or food assistance programs, no nonprofits or institutions that cared for destitute people in that day. It was up to family members and loved ones to keep people from being homeless and starving.

Elderly widows and young orphans were some of the most vulnerable because they were unable to work and to care for themselves.

In many places we have more socialized benefits, praise God. So widows and orphans may not be who is most vulnerable and helpless in your community or circle of influence. It’s not about only caring about those two demographics; that misses the point. Help those who are unable to help themselves.

It’s not bad to have order, structure, financial management practices, buildings, etc. These were all part of the early Judaism that God designed. But by Jesus’s time we can read how critical He was of what it became. Don’t forget what’s it about!

Keep yourself from being polluted by the world and love others the way that Jesus did.
