      <image:title>Pastor's Corner - Seed Folk Week 4: Sermon Call To Action - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Push Like Mordecai Esther 4:5–16 | Hebrews 10:24 “We all need a nudge sometimes.” In Sunday’s sermon, Push Like Mordecai, we were reminded that God often moves us forward not through comfort, but through provocation. A provocateur is not someone who shames or humiliates, but someone who loves us too much to let us stay stuck. Mordecai plays that role in Esther’s life. When Esther hesitates, Mordecai applies pressure to awaken her calling (Esther 4:8–14). Newton’s First Law tells us that an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Spiritually, the same is true. Knowing what God wants is not the same as doing it. We delay. We rationalize. We convince ourselves that God surely has someone else in mind. And so God sends provocateurs, people who refuse to let us settle. The writer of Hebrews names this responsibility clearly: “And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). The word provoke is intentional. Love that never challenges us eventually stops loving at all. The book of Esther shows us how fear can shape policy and how injustice can become law. Haman convinces King Xerxes to issue a decree of death by presenting a distorted version of the truth, claiming the Jews are a threat to public order (Esther 3:8–11). The violence is chilling precisely because it is legal. One signature makes an entire people disposable (Esther 3:12–15). Into this moment, Mordecai hands Esther the written decree and charges her to go to the king and plead for her people (Esther 4:8). Esther now carries the burden of truth-telling. She must confront power, expose deception, and risk her own life. Truth-telling here is not about being right, it is about setting people free (see John 8:32). Yet Esther also teaches us that not all truth-telling is holy. Haman speaks words that are partially true, but his truth serves sin and self-interest. Esther, by contrast, speaks after prayer and fasting (Esther 4:16), telling the truth at personal cost so that others might live. Scripture reminds us that truth is always evaluated by its motive, not merely its accuracy (see Matthew 7:16). Before Esther acts, Mordecai issues a warning about the danger of the palace: “Do not think that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews” (Esther 4:13). The palace represents any place of comfort where we stop listening for God’s next call. The danger is not disbelief, it is complacency. Mordecai then speaks one of the most profound truths in Scripture: “If you keep silence at such a time as this, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place…” (Esther 4:14a). The future belongs to God. Deliverance is not in doubt. But participation is. God’s sovereignty does not cancel human responsibility. Esther must still choose whether she will step forward or stay silent. Inaction does not stop God’s work; it only removes us from it. And then comes the calling: “Who knows? Perhaps you have come to royal dignity for just such a time as this” (Esther 4:14b). Privilege is tied to purpose. Whatever we have, position, education, resources, time, it may be for such a moment as this. Esther responds with courage, calling for prayer and fasting before she risks everything (Esther 4:15–16). The provocateur has done his work. The push has moved her from fear to faith. This devotion is not meant to make us comfortable. It is meant to move us from silence to obedience, from settling to surrender, from the palace to the purpose of God.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Plan Like Joseph A Devotional Reflection Scripture Focus: “What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh… Now therefore let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man.” — Genesis 41:28, 33 (NRSV) Reflection Genesis 41 places us in the throne room of Egypt, a place of power that suddenly feels fragile. Pharaoh is sleepless because his dreams reveal a future he cannot control, and no one around him has answers. Into that anxiety walks Joseph, fresh out of the dungeons of Pharaoh, carrying nothing but God’s presence and a gift the world often overlooks: the gift of holy administration. Pharaoh had a problem. Joseph had a plan. Joseph first makes clear that the interpretation does not come from him, but from God who reveals the meaning of Pharaoh’s dream (Genesis 41:15–16). The dream points to an impending seven-year famine so severe that it would overwhelm the land, and Joseph explains that the dream's repetition means the matter is “fixed by God” and will soon come to pass (Genesis 41:32). Because the future could not be stopped, Joseph moved immediately from prayerful discernment to practical action. He proposed a national plan to collect one-fifth (20%) of all grain during the seven years of abundance and store it in centralized cities, so that during the famine the reserves could be distributed to the people and the land would not perish (Genesis 41:33–36, 47–49, 53–57). Joseph teaches us that God not only speaks through prayers and prophecies, but also through strategies, systems, and faithful preparation. When Joseph hears Pharaoh’s dream, he first turns to God. Then, guided by God, he designs a practical plan that will save lives. Here is the spiritual truth: Like Joseph, when we plan and organize in obedience to God, faith becomes life-saving action. Many of us have been taught that “real ministry” is only preaching, praying aloud, or leading worship. But Joseph reveals a deeper reality: God also moves through spreadsheets, schedules, policies, budgets, and distribution systems that make effective ministry possible. That is what holy planning is, love with legs. The Spirit of God can move through a sanctuary and a spreadsheet. Through a sermon and a system. Through a prayer and a plan. This is why Scripture names “administration” as a spiritual gift (1 Corinthians 12:28). God appoints people who can steer, organize, cultivate, and build, not because God loves bureaucracy, but because systems that align with God’s mission save lives. Joseph was a Cultivator, someone who turned God’s dream into disciplined action. Encouragers lift us. Connectors unite us. Cultivators make us effective. Faithful planning is not faithlessness. It is obedience to God’s future. A Word for Today Ask yourself: 1. Where might God be inviting you to plan, not panic? 2. What “famine” might be ahead that you are called to prepare for now? 3. How might your everyday skills of organizing, budgeting, scheduling, and leading actually be holy instruments in God’s hands to build God’s church and serve others? You may not be called to preach like a prophet, but you might be called to plan and organize like Joseph.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Seed Folk — Week 2: “Connect Like Lydia” Recap This past Sunday, we spent time with Lydia in Acts 16, a woman whose kindness catalyzed the church. Lydia shows us that God grows the Kingdom through people who create places where others can belong (Acts 16:11–15, 40). As a businesswoman in the luxury trade of purple cloth, Lydia lived at the intersection of many worlds, business and faith, workers and wealthy clients, insiders and outsiders, and God used those everyday connections to build the first church in Philippi (Acts 16:14). In the same way, God wants to use your connections to lead people to Jesus. When Lydia opened her home, she wasn’t just offering hospitality; she was making room for God’s mission to take root and grow. Her house became the birthplace of a new faith community (Acts 16:15, 40). God uses ordinary places to connect people to faith, well before they ever enter a church. Some people are naturally wired like Lydia. They notice who is left out, bring people together, and make spaces feel warm and alive. That wiring is not random; it is a gift God uses to connect people to faith, family, and purpose (Acts 16:15). The church needs you! And maybe that’s how God first met you, too—through a kind word, an invitation, a shared table, a door opened just wide enough for grace to walk in. Let’s connect like Lydia. Next Sunday, we’ll meet another kind of Seed Folk. Whether you see yourself as an encourager like Barnabas, a Connector like Lydia, or you’re still discovering your place, this series is about helping you recognize how God is already working through your life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Lenten Bible Study In Person - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>An Invitation to a Lenten Bible Study During Lent, we’re invited to slow down, listen more closely, and pay attention to what really matters. This season, I invite you to join me for a Bible study centered on the final conversations Jesus shared with his disciples before the cross. Together, we’ll spend time in Scripture, listening to Jesus speak about love, faithfulness, betrayal, hope, and what it means to remain connected to God and one another when life feels uncertain. These are intimate, honest moments, and they still have much to say to us today. Our conversations will be shaped by Scripture first and foremost. I’ll be drawing from The Last Supper by Will Willimon as a guide, but the book is not required. The material will be accessible to everyone, whether this is your first Bible study or you are an advanced student of the Bible. This will be a space for thoughtful conversation, spiritual reflection, and community as we journey together toward Holy Week. Dates: Wednesdays — February 25 - April 1 Time: 6:30–7:30 PM Location: PJ’s Coffee: 12640 Broadway St, Pearland, TX 77584 -Pastor Briggs</image:caption>

      <image:title>Upcoming Events - Ash Wednesday - We invite the church and our neighbors in the community to join us for Ash Wednesday worship as we begin the holy season of Lent together. Ash Wednesday is a sacred and reflective service where we remember our mortality, confess our need for God, and receive the sign of ashes on our foreheads as a symbol of repentance and renewal. Through prayer, Scripture, and song, we turn our hearts back to God and prepare ourselves to walk with Christ toward the cross and the hope of Easter. Whether you are new to church, returning after a long time, or deeply rooted in faith, you are welcome here. Come as you are and allow God’s grace to meet you in this meaningful moment of worship.</image:title>

We are currently inviting minority-owned business owners and entrepreneurs to sign up to participate, and we encourage them to share this opportunity with others in their networks.
