Read Matthew 5:13-16. Have you ever shared the story of Jesus or has anyone shared it with you? God created us to share His story and we can do that all sorts of ways. The way we choose to act and love others shows His love. Inviting a friend to church or offering to pray for them is a great way to show it, too. Pray for the opportunity to show and share His love this week.

Thank Him for first loving us so we’re able to show others that love too!

Read the story about Esther.

Talk about how you can help each other grow in the areas you discussed and pray for God’s clarity on His purpose for you.
