Devotional
The transformative power of salvation compels us to return our lives to Jesus through service, love, and sharing the gospel. This journey is not just about personal salvation but about impacting the world for Christ. Our lives should be a reflection of the grace we have received, inspiring others to seek the same transformation. A life returned for Jesus is marked by generosity, service, and a refusal to conform to worldly standards. It’s about living with purpose and passion, knowing that our ultimate goal is to glorify God and make His love known.

Bible Verse

Sermon Quote
“To RESTORE the battered, REFUEL the weary, and RETURN to our lives with Jesus at the center, changing the world one life at a time.

If restore is about God restoring me spiritually and situationally – and refuel is about having the right rhythms and relationships in life to support that restoration process of Jesus – then return is all about serving and sharing. Serving others and sharing with others all that Jesus has done for me and given to me."

Reflection Question
In what ways can I better reflect the grace and salvation I have received from Jesus in my interactions with others?

Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for the salvation and grace You have given me. May my life be a reflection of Your love and truth, inspiring others to seek You. Help me to live purposefully, using my gifts and abilities to serve You and others joyfully. Amen.
