A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOUR DAY

You are seen.
You are loved.
There is hope.

Maybe you came here with a snack. Maybe you came with a question. Wherever you are in life or faith, there’s room for you here.

Find a word of hope Who is Jesus?

DISCOVER JESUS. FIND HOPE. YOU ARE LOVED.

PAUSE. BREATHE. YOU’RE HERE.

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”JESUS · MATTHEW 11:28 · KJV

01 / A WORD FOR RIGHT NOWYou don’t have to have it all figured out.

What’s on your heart?

Choose what feels closest to today. Take a moment with these words.

A MOMENT OF HOPE

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

1 PETER 5:7 · KJV

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay with God. Tell Him what is weighing on you, one honest sentence at a time. His care for you is personal.

02 / START WITH JESUS

A love you don’t
have to earn.

At the heart of Christianity is a person: Jesus. Christians believe He is the Son of God, who came to make God known and bring us back into relationship with Him.

You don’t need a perfect past or all the answers to begin learning who He is.

God made you and loves you.

Your life has value. The Bible tells a story of a Creator who knows us and wants us to know Him.

Jesus came close.

He welcomed outsiders, cared for hurting people, and taught us to love God and our neighbors. He showed what God’s love looks like.

The cross wasn’t the end.

The gospel—the good news—is that Jesus died for our sins and rose again. Through Him, we are offered forgiveness and new life as a gift of grace.

You can respond.

Turn toward God, put your trust in Jesus, and begin following Him. Faith is the start of a relationship you can grow in day by day.

Explore: John 1:1–14 · John 3:16–17 · 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 · Ephesians 2:8–10

GRACE MEANS YOU CAN BEGIN AGAIN

Your past doesn’t have
to be your whole story.

Forgiveness. A new beginning. A life rooted in love.

03 / ONE SMALL STEP

You can start
right where you are.

There’s no pressure to know the right words. Bring your questions, your doubts, and your real life.

Talk to God honestly

Prayer is simply talking with God. If it helps, start here and make these words your own:

God, I want to know You. Help me understand who Jesus is. I need Your forgiveness and Your guidance. Teach me to trust You and follow You. Amen.

There is no magic formula. This is an invitation to an honest conversation.

Meet Jesus in the Bible

Start with the Gospel of John, one of the four accounts of Jesus’ life. Read a little each day. Ask: What does this show me about Jesus? What questions do I have? How might I respond?

Try John 1 today, then John 3, John 4, and John 20.

Find people to walk with

Faith grows in community. Talk with a trusted Christian or visit a local church that teaches the Bible, welcomes questions, and cares for people. You don’t have to take every next step alone.

Notice God’s work in everyday life

The Bible points to God’s work in creation, in the life of Jesus, and in lives changed by grace. Look for opportunities to practice that love: forgive, encourage someone, serve a neighbor, and make room for compassion.

Tonight, reflect on one thing you’re thankful for and one way you can show kindness tomorrow.

TAKE THIS WITH YOU

You matter to God.
And your story is still unfolding.
