Who’s your four?

Who are the four people in your life who need your prayers? Who needs your hope, your help, your grace, your forgiveness? Who needs to experience the love of Jesus through you?
This month, we are beginning one of the most important sermon series I’ve ever preached as your pastor. We are asking a simple but powerful question: Who’s your four? Four people. Four souls. Four lives that God has placed on your path for a reason.

These could be friends, family members, coworkers, neighbors—anyone who is far from faith, who feels forgotten, who is hungry for hope but doesn’t know where to find it. Over the next several months, we will be praying for these four people—your four—by name. We will create intentional spaces for them to encounter no-judgment grace through special events at the church. We will especially invite them to walk with us during Lent and into the hope of Easter.
Why? Because this is what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. It’s not just about growing in our own faith—it’s about sharing the good news of Jesus with others.

So come this Sunday with four people on your heart. Write their names down. Begin praying. Ask God to open doors, soften hearts, and give you the courage to love and walk alongside them well.

And with the grace of God, one day soon, those four people may begin their own journey toward faith, hope, and transformation.

Let’s walk this road together. Let’s love boldly. Let’s pray expectantly.
Who’s your four?
