Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.

See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you.

Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

SAT MORNING BE THE LOVE DEVOTION

1

Christine recalls how the tape recorder went off in her mind when she learned this news. It was like the enemy began to speak lies and destructive words to her heart telling her she was worthless.

• What are some of the lies the enemy tries to slip into our minds to discourage us and tear us down?

• What can we do to fight against these deceptive lies?

2

Read the passages below.

John 15:13-15 Galatians 3:26-29 1 Peter 2:4-5 1 Peter 2:9-10 • What does God say about the worth of a person who has come to him through faith in Jesus? Briefly discuss what these truths mean to you.

• How is the message of the Bible different from the messages we typically receive from most people?

• What can we do to make sure we are getting our sense of identity from God and not the world?

4

Christine says, “God likes to show off through ordinary people.”

• Who are some of the ordinary or even messed-up people God used in the Bible, and how are their lives’ testimonies of how God can use people like you and me?

Christine says we must build our lives on the truth of God’s Word, NOT on what others say about us.

SUN MORNING BE THE HOPE DEVOTION

1

Christine reflects on the reality that many people have fallen asleep to suffering, injustice, and evil in our world.

• What causes us to become passive toward these things?

• What can wake us up to a new way of seeing the world and a new way of living that will move us into world-changing actions?

2

Christine warns, “We can be consumed with the personal, with the immediate, and with having our needs met.”

• How have you experienced this in your life?

• What can we do to make sure this does not happen to us?

3

Read Romans 13:11-14 and Ephesians 5:8-20. In these passages God calls his people to ‘Wake up!”

RISE: FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

• What does these passages call us to do?

• What are some things we can do to ensure that we stay awake and attuned to the things God wants us to do?

• How can we help wake each other up?

- 13 -

Read Matthew 5:14-16.

• How has God uniquely equipped His people to bring light into dark places?

• How can you and others get engaged in shinning light in the places of darkness in your community, your nation, and the world?

MON MORNING BE THE CHANGE DEVOTION

1

Read Luke 10:25-37.

• What do you learn about the priest and the Levite in this passage?

• How are we tempted to act similarly when we face unexpected needs?

• What strikes you about the Good Samaritan in this passage?

• What were the specific ways he responded to the unexpected need he faced that day as he travelled down the road?

2

We can’t meet every need we encounter. But we can do our part, each day, as the Holy Spirit leads.

• How can we know when God is calling us to stop and meet the needs we encounter as we travel down the road of life?

3

Ultimately, people need Jesus. We can meet all kind of outer needs, but the deepest need of the heart and what will satisfy for eternity is the hope found in Jesus alone. As we slow down, show compassion, and share his love, other lives will be changed (and so will ours!).

• How have you seen Jesus bring healing, hope or restoration into the lives of people you’ve served?

4

Compassion is not fundamentally about crying or feeling sad. It is not really about an emotional response. True compassion is about getting involved in others’ pain and suffering and bring the healing, hope, and restoration of Jesus to their place of need.

• How can you be an agent of God’s compassion and change in your world? Discuss.

- 16 -

RISE: FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Too often we make excuses for not getting involved with the needs that are all around us. We say, “But God, I can’t because…”

• What are some of our excuses that allow us to cross the street and walk past these needs?

• How can we overcome these excuses?
