When was the last time you had to wait for something that took a long time? Across the Book of Acts, we see followers of Jesus practice being with the Holy Spirit as they gather, worship, pray, fast and take time to wait and hear what He has to tell them. Where do we need to shift our own rhythms, so we can create space to be more attentive to the Holy Spirit today?

What should we do when we hit a wall in the middle of our path? In Acts 8 and 11, we see a man named Barnabas and his friends encounter several walls that they could given up on, but instead they see how to continue and not just give up. So how can we turn our “can’t because” into a “can if?”

As image-bearers of God, what do we do with freedom? Romans 6 invites us to be free from sin and choices that wreck us. All the while, Galatians 5 encourages us to be free for the sake of others, bringing them to Christ. When you've experienced freedom in Jesus, how can you serve others in love by how you live?

How do image-bearers live in a government that isn’t perfect? Romans 13 states God’s intention for the government’s role to punish what is wrong and to promote good, but also reminds us that its authority is delegated authority. So as we look through our lens of the government on Earth, what should we start, stop, or maybe change to look more toward God as image-bearers?

Are we created in the image of our human father or God our Father? Well, both. Often, we let our image of “father” shape our image of God. As we are adopted into God’s family, what could happen when we let our image of God shape our image of fatherhood?

What does it mean to be made in God’s image? As we see in Genesis 1, image-bearing is our first identity. But when we fail to view ourselves and others through that lens, things can go very wrong. Thankfully, with Jesus, we can imagine a world where people are free by God’s spirit to represent Him and bring flourishing to everyone around them.

We will always harvest what we plant, even in our friendships. When we show up for our friends and bring the fruit of the Spirit, we are preaching the gospel with our interactions. To become more like Jesus, how can we do the work of change with the help of the Spirit and some friends?

What if we asked: God, what do you want to change about my approach to friendships? Sometimes, we don’t take steps in community because we think we just don’t have time. But as we see in Ephesians 5 and Galatians 6, God created us from relationship for relationships. How can you be full of care in how you invest your time, and realign your calendar to form your friendships?
