Disciple's Question — Why Witness?

We cannot keep good news to ourselves. The more clearly we see who Jesus is, the more naturally we will want others to see Him too. This month, we pray that a fresh vision of Christ would produce a fresh burden for those who do not yet know Him.

Week 1 – The Lamb of God

October 4 Sermon: John 1:29–42

Day 2 – Exodus 12:21–27

• Reflect on God's provision of the Passover lamb. Ask God to help you see more clearly the redemption accomplished through Christ.

Day 3 – Isaiah 53:4–6

• Confess your dependence on the One who bore our sin. Pray for compassion toward people who are still carrying the weight of sin without knowing Christ.
