📣 This Week's Verse

"Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so." – Acts 17:11

In ministry, we are reminded that we never truly know who will embrace the good news of Jesus with enthusiasm and diligence. As church leaders, our calling is to faithfully share His word, trusting that God will work in the hearts of those who receive it, while we continue to sow seeds of truth wherever we go.
