As we gather today, let us turn our hearts toward the profound promise found in Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This verse, often quoted, is a powerful testament to the reality of salvation and the transformative impact of faith. Paul’s declaration emerges amidst his trials, painting a vivid picture of an intimate relationship with Christ, one that fuels our purpose and empowers our proclamation.

Consider the image of a young mother, weary and overwhelmed, juggling the responsibilities of work, family, and her own aspirations. Each morning, she feels the weight of doubt, questioning whether she is enough to meet the demands of her life. Yet, in her quiet moments of prayer and Scripture reading, she is reminded of the strength available to her through Christ. It’s in those sacred pauses that she embraces her calling—her role as a caregiver, a friend, and a witness to the grace she has received.

This is where our evangelism begins. As we share our stories of struggle and triumph, we invite others into the community of faith that nurtures spiritual growth. Our confidence in Christ's strength becomes the cornerstone of our witness. We proclaim not just with our words but with our lives, embodying the hope that comes from relying on Him.

As we trust in His power, let us encourage one another to step boldly into the purpose God has laid before us. Together, we can do all things through Christ, illuminating a path for others to follow.
