Matthew 24:4-5
⁴ Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, ⁵ for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many.

Jesus warned his disciples, "Watch out that no one deceives you."

We live in a world filled with spiritual noise—voices, opinions, and pressures pulling us in every direction. Without spiritual clarity, it's easy to get swept up in confusion.

Stay anchored in Truth.

You can grow the clarity and courage you need to stand firm. Feed your spirit daily. Lean into the Holy Spirit. Listen for his promptings in the quiet moments and the middle of your everyday routine.

As a church, we are in a year of response.

I encourage you to reflect on the scripture you've heard and/or read this week, and the prayers you've said personally or through 21 Days of Prayer, and then ask yourself: What is God saying to me right now?

Then, give yourself space to hear his voice and respond.

Prayer: 21 Days of Prayer - Day 20
Heavenly Father, help me be firmly rooted in you, so that I can bear the good fruit that comes from you. I know that only by the power of the Holy Spirit can I have love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in my life (Galatians 5:22-23). I desire to have a close relationship with you that will produce good fruit in me and through me for the good of others. I want to do all this for your honor and your kingdom. Amen.

Series Theme Verse:

Psalm 16:11
You will show me the way of life,

    granting me the joy of your presence

    and the pleasures of living with you forever.
