When we look at the life of Jesus, we see conversations, questions, meals, and moments filled with purpose. Evangelism wasn\u2019t just something He did \u2014 it was the life He lived.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">In the weeks to come, we\u2019ll rediscover evangelism not as pressure, but as participation in what God is already doing. We\u2019ll explore how Jesus engaged people with curiosity, compassion, and truth. We\u2019ll talk about asking better questions instead of having all the right answers. We\u2019ll look at what it means to live out our faith in the marketplace\u2014where we work, lead, and interact every day. We\u2019ll consider the power of opening our homes, creating spaces where people can belong before they believe. We\u2019ll wrestle with how to walk alongside doubters both within and outside the church. And ultimately, we\u2019ll see that evangelism is not separate from our worship but an extension of it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">As we journey together in the next few weeks, may we become more like Jesus \u2013 seeing people the way He does and joining Him in His work of drawing people to Himself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">This week, Pastor Joseph Mok will kick off the series looking at Mark 5:21-43.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">See you all Sunday!<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"p1\"><b>P<\/b><b>R<\/b><b>A<\/b><span class=\"s2\"><b>Y<\/b><\/span><\/h6>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Lord Jesus, You see people as valuable and full of hope. You trusted the Father completely, and You moved toward the people others stayed away from\u2014with compassion and grace. Help us see people the way You do. Give us the courage to speak when it matters and the wisdom to listen well. Use our everyday moments to show Your love, and let our words be honest, kind, and full of hope. Lead us by Your Spirit as we share the Good News with the people around us. In Jesus\u2019 name we pray.
