The transforming power of the gospel shines through in this story of two women from vastly different backgrounds. Remarkably, the first convert in Europe was a female Asian business leader—a powerful reminder that God’s grace reaches across every boundary.

It’s understandable that today many have jaded views of the church. As we imagine the future of our church, what can we learn from the earliest days of the church? It was refreshingly dynamic, characterized by personal transformation, vital community, authentic spirituality, radical generosity, and contagious hospitality.

Jesus uses the parable of the friend at night to teach about prayer. Understanding prayer, as well as who we’re praying to, is critical for anyone who wants to engage with an invisible God that often feels like a great mystery.
