Faith also acts. Like Noah building the ark or Abraham stepping into the unknown, faith moves when God speaks. True faith doesn’t wait until everything makes sense; it obeys because the Lord has already proven Himself faithful in Christ.

On Friday night, Robbie Halleen reminded us of the staggering need for the gospel among unreached people groups. Over 3 billion people in our world today are considered unreached. This doesn’t just mean they’re “lost”—they have no access to the gospel. No one around them knows about Jesus. They will be born, live, and die without ever hearing His name.

As we now step beyond this text in Matthew, let us not merely be hearers but doers of the Word. Let us remember that the Rock we build on is not our own obedience but Christ Himself. And as His Spirit works in us, may our lives reflect the kingdom He has described; marked by mercy, purity, peace, humility, and steadfast trust in our Father.

In the same way, the people of God are called to live lives so shaped by the gospel that corruption is restrained and the goodness of Christ is made known. Light, too, carries profound meaning. In a world darkened by sin, God has shone in our hearts the light of Christ (2 Cor. 4:6). We are not the source of light, but we reflect the One who is the Light of the world (John 8:12).

The Son loves us so much that he goes before the Father on our behalf. Can you imagine that? Jesus is praying for us. If we could hear Jesus in the next room praying for us, would we ever worry about anything? Consider this - the creator of the universe cares about us and is interceding for us (Romans 8:34). What comfort that brings!

When you forgive instead of retaliating, pursue holiness instead of cultural compromise, set your hope on Christ instead of worldly gain, you are bearing witness to the risen Lord who lives in you.
Even if they are working for your harm, he has authority.

“Our mission team isn’t in Ault to be impressive. They’re there to lift high the name of Jesus by putting the needs of others ahead of their own. Early mornings, long hours in the sun, pouring into the lives of kids, encouraging one another—this is Philippians 2 in action. These aren’t small things. In the economy of the Kingdom, they’re a lasting investment of good seed.”

As followers of Christ, we understand that our identity in Christ is not an isolated journey but one that is deeply connected to the body of Christ, the church. Paul’s posture of thankfulness reflects the reality that the Lord uses His people to fulfill His divine purposes.

“So when those thoughts of discouragement rise, when you feel insufficient, remember that it is there that God says His power is made known. Jesus has taken hold of you, now take hold of him and reach forward for what is ahead!”

“Forgiveness assumes grace. If I am injured by you, grace lets it go. I don’t sue you. I forgive you. Grace gives what someone doesn’t deserve. That’s why forgiveness has the word give in it. Forgiveness is not ‘getting’ even. It is giving away the right to get even.”

These are all imprints of the sin-cursed creation. If we allow it, this dark truth will consume our thoughts and minds. But we as those who are born again (John 3), those who are the Bride of Christ, have been created to think differently about this reality. We have been called to walk and proclaim hope in the brokenness.

Often I have said to the Lord, “I want to obey you, Lord. Just show me what you want me to do.” I’ve prayed this with my bible sitting right next to me unopened. However, God’s word is how He speaks to us, and friend, he has already told us what He wants us to do.

This contrast between light and darkness is a reality for followers of Christ. We know it well…Darkness is the world that we once walked (Isaiah 9). Because of the darkness in the world, the Father sent his son Jesus to be the light of the world (John 1). Light is a picture of the salvation the Lord Jesus accomplished in His death and resurrection (John 8:12). Light is also a picture of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God (Psalm 119:105). Continually, we are reminded of the home found in the light and our pursuit and proclamation of it.
