Keep growing in your relationship with Jesus: Take the message with you into your week. Reflect on the Bible passage and sermon (posts Sun. afternoon), then use the ideas below to help you talk it over with your friends, coworkers, family, or Grow Group (most groups on break for the summer).

Icebreaker idea: What was one highlight of this past week for you? What’s something you’re looking forward to?

A way to pray: Pray with us that by 2022, through God’s grace and power, we will see 2,000 people baptized and growing in relationship with Jesus through the Word, prayer, and community.

• What is God showing me about Himself? How is He challenging me to be more like Jesus? What’s my next step?

• How have I experienced God‘s love recently? How can I share His love with someone this week? Where do I see the enemy working to cause division and discord, and how does God’s love encourage and empower me to seek peace instead?
