Old Testament

Hezekiah invites the people back to Passover worship and organizes generous provision for the priests and Levites. Renewal spreads through repentance, worship, and giving.

New Testament

The strong are called to bear with the weak, build up neighbors, and follow Christ’s self-giving example as the gospel moves toward the nations.

Psalm

David asks God to teach him, forgive him, and guide him in truth.

Proverb

Laziness leads to loss; honest work and wise knowledge have value.

Discover

Passover remembers rescue by sacrifice. Romans shows the heart of the One to whom that rescue points: Christ did not live to please Himself but gave Himself for others.

Reflect

Whose burden could I help carry rather than criticize?

Fellowship

What would a Christ-centered fellowship look like when strong and weak believers walk together?

Prayer

Jesus, teach me to welcome others, carry burdens, and live for Your glory rather than my comfort. Amen.

Live

Build someone up today.
