blessing
Our mission to go and make disciples of all the nations (Matt 28:18-20) finds its roots in the original mission to go and be a blessing to others (Gen 12:1-3). This means that blessing others and seeing people come to know, love, and serve Jesus are linked together!
If you do at least one of these BLESS practices every day, you will not only look more like Jesus, but you will help others find Jesus too!
Text to Read: Exodus 20:3-6 NLT

You cannot allow anything to stand in the way of following Jesus completely. He must be your everything (Luke 14:26 NLT)
“Sin is building your life and meaning on anything, even a very good thing, more than on God.” - Tim Keller
Anything that blocks your whole-hearted devotion to Jesus blocks the fulness of his glory in your life.
