Have you ever felt like you didn’t belong? In Luke 23, Yeshua offers hope to the most unlikely place — a criminal hanging beside Him. This reflection reminds us that grace meets us in our brokenness and that no one is ever forgotten by God.

Have you ever felt left out or unwelcome? In Luke 14, Jesus tells a story of a banquet where the invitation expands to everyone on the margins. This reflection explores God’s radical welcome — and how we can make room for others through celebration, not condemnation.

This devotional reflects on Romans 11:18 and the image of believers being grafted into God’s olive tree—reminding us that our faith is deeply connected to Jewish heritage. It invites us to respond with humility, gratitude, and unity as we honor the roots that nourish our spiritual lives. By embracing our shared story, we cultivate deeper connection and gratitude for the foundation God laid through Israel.
