Key Takeaways

- Prayer and the Word of God are powerful. 

-It’s not just pastors who do ministry! We are ALL the body of Christ, the light into the darkness, and the living letter to the world.

-God is in public schools because He has placed us- Christians- there.

-Unity in diversity; we are called to unity, but that doesn't mean we are all the same.

-When you get offended by something, take it to the Lord and ask Him how you should respond to represent Him well, rather than reacting out of anger or defense.

-You can't do everything; stop and make intentional choices to do what matters most to you.

-Rather than comparing ourselves to others, think: “Am I giving my best in what the Lord has put me in?”

-Our God is so great He can make plan B be even better than plan A. There’s no mistake He can’t course-correct and bless. 

-If God can feed the 5,000, He can take the little we have and abundantly provide.
