Pastor Mark Moore, in his book Quest 52, focuses on the one-on-one encounters of Jesus. Many started with compassion but were followed by action. Join us as Mark shares how we often feel compassion but miss the “and” to join our emotions to action.

In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus helps us understand that one-at-a-time living requires an out-of-the-way kind of love for people. He teaches His followers to have an extra mile mentality with one person at a time no matter the cost.

Jesus teaches that when the Kingdom intersects into our lives, it can grow far beyond seemingly small beginnings. We are to be intentional with intersections, seeing every opportunity—no matter the size—as a Kingdom opportunity God can do much with.

One of the words that best captures the love of Jesus is the word proximity. Jesus warned the religious not to refuse the invitation of living in proximity with Him. As believers, our proximity to God’s heart reflects our proximity to those He loves.

We want God to do great things through us, but He almost always wants to do something in us first. Maybe the best way to be a person of impact is not to say, “God, what do You want to do through me?” but instead, “God, what do You want to do in me?”

Time and again, Jesus went out of His way for one. It might seem impractical or even reckless, but He was willing to go all in for one. Who is the one we need to focus our attention on finding? How impractical and reckless might we become for one?

We were made for God such that He has total claim over every facet of our lives, including what we do with our bodies. We are to run from temptation and continually offer our whole persons—our bodies and our hearts—to God for the glory of His name.

Within this Christmas story filled with uncertainty, we see God’s providence in how He sent each angel to convey His message of good news. We trust He also will bring just what and who we need to reassure our hearts and accomplish His purposes.

From the time Joseph heard the news of Mary’s pregnancy, through living on the run for three years in Egypt, he was constantly giving. Joseph sacrificed his pride, his livelihood, his plans for the future, and his financial security.
