BLESS — Moving Toward Others for Their Good

Sep 20, 2026  •  Stew Armstrong

To represent Jesus well, we have to become people whose lives are increasingly open toward others. Romans 12:13-16 calls us to meet needs, pursue hospitality, bless even those who oppose us, enter into the joy and pain of others, and move toward people we might normally overlook.  


This week we introduce the first BELLS missional rhythm: BLESS — intentionally seeking the welfare of others. Jesus lived this as a rhythm, using His words, time, attention, presence, touch, resources, and power for the good of the people around Him; our challenge is to intentionally bless three people this week because we have already been blessed by Christ.
