Week of August 9, 2026
This week we're exploring the unseen spiritual battle Paul describes in Ephesians, why the way we worship on Sunday prepares us for our hardest days, and how to judge a church by its fruit instead of its square footage.

What to Do
A few practical things to do this week.
- Kill the reflex to criticize another person’s worship or another church.
- Make the church smaller. A big church stays healthy the same way the first one in Acts did, by getting smaller from the inside. Join a group, serve on a team, learn names and let people learn yours.
- Pray for 3 other churches in our area this week.
- Give like the good you admire depends on it, because it does.
