Many people dream of a big sponsor to help them realise their dreams. The King of Kings is looking for potential leaders and calling people who follow Him. The call doesn’t consider age, race, or gender. Yet this call still eludes many today. For those who wholeheartedly and completely voluntarily answer this call, their lives will never be the same. We see shining examples from all walks of life.

Jesus performed amazing displays of God’s power through miracles, signs, and wonders. We catch a glimpse of the glory and goodness of God through answered prayer. We were never meant to stay small in prayer or in faith. Grow bold in the way you ask God to move in your life and in the world around you, in Jesus’ name. He loves to save, heal, comfort, and amaze.

Throughout the New Testament, Jesus shows compassion toward unlikely “sinners” who expressed great faith. Whether tax collectors, Roman centurions, or Samaritan women, Jesus repeatedly shows that he came to rescue people burdened with shame. During this plan, Bible teacher and author Kat Armstrong illustrates how these stories strengthen our understanding of God’s empathy and knowledge of how all types of people express beautiful faith in Jesus.
