Are we welcoming and pursuing those far from God, or quietly drifting toward judgment like the Pharisees?

Jesus offers a better kind of investment—one that isn’t shaken by the economy or limited by time.

The Holy Spirit dwells in us. But in the storms, it is easy to focus on the storm and fail to trust that Jesus is already aware of the storm and waiting for us to simply trust that he has neither forgotten us nor is unable to help us through the storms of life.

Jesus calls us to more than good stewardship—he invites us to risky, bold faith that reflects his kingdom values. May we follow him fully and trust him deeply.

The sting in Jesus’ parable was for the spiritually proud who heard him then—and now.
