We were honored to have guest speaker Pastor Brendan Witton, who shared a powerful message titled “Rescue Ship Christianity.” Pastor Brendan spoke from Matthew 28:18-20 and challenged us to see ourselves not as passengers on a cruise ship focused on comfort but as part of a rescue mission—one where we are called to share the gospel and bring people to Jesus. He reminded us that, though we share the message, it's ultimately God who does the saving.

Live It Out:
- Take some time to reflect on the role you play in God’s mission. Are you on a cruise ship, focused on comfort, or a rescue ship, committed to bringing others to Jesus? Consider how you can share God’s love through the unique ways He’s equipped you. From friendship and service to prayer and invitations, God has given us many ways to reach out. This week, ask God to show you where He’s calling you to step out, and trust Him to do the work of saving.
