Summary
As we begin to wrap up our week on living poor in Spirit, today we’ll examine the life of Jesus as our example and how he always put others first. As we seek to understand how to live a lowly life of love, may you be envisioned and encouraged today to love God and others well. God wants to use you as a vessel of his grace and love in this world. Will you let him?
Our Scripture for today comes from Proverbs 22:4, and today's worship is Closing Distance by 7 Hills Worship.

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out?
Something needs to change!
So, we’re launching the First15 Digital Retreat to help address the challenges we face in connecting with God in this frenetic cultural moment.
When we look to Jesus, we see this exciting, life-giving invitation:
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest.” –Matthew 11:28 MSG
Through the First15 Digital Retreat, you will make space to come, rest, and recover.
Join us and speakers like Craig Denison, Aaron Niequist, Strahan Coleman, Charaia Callabrass, Ashley Abercrombie, and several more, as well like worship by First15 Worship artists like Nikki Moltz and Rachel Denison.

| 1:14.3 | molded and shaped by the capable, loving hands of our potter. I pray that we will look to the grace of |
