Monday Mission-Be the Light

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 I love the challenge in this verse and how often the Bible makes reference to the word "light". In fact, the Bible uses the metaphor of light over 190 times — to represent truth, hope, guidance, and love. In a world that often feels heavy or dark, light doesn’t need permission to shine. It simply shows up and pushes back the darkness — one moment at a time.

Monday Mission - He Must Become Greater

John the Baptist’s entire mission in life, given by God, was to make way for Jesus. He was to bring people to Jesus and make it known to everyone that the Messiah had come. He was a rabbi, like Jesus was, and had his own followers.

Monday Mission-Remember the Reason for the Season

Luke 2:11 (NIV): "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord" For our Monday Mission this year, the challenge is simply to remember the reason for the Christmas season! Take some time this week to step back and reflect on the birth of Jesus and read the Christmas story. If you have the opportunity to spend time with your family this year, make this year the year that you also take time to read the story with them!

Monday Mission - Holy Habits

Last week, the youth group I work with had the opportunity to discuss habits, either bad habits we need to break or good habits we need to improve on.
