When partnering with your family to know, love, and follow Jesus, we strive to create and share content filtered by the Head-Heart-Hands model.   


Head: the knowledge of God and His Word | Heart: the personal connection from scripture | Hands: a missional mindset  

HEAD

In this chapter, Paul tells about his trip from Philippi to Thessalonica, how he was treated so poorly, and how he preached the Word in truth and without worrying about pleasing others. They wore no masks, there were no tricks or dishonesty. That means he didn't try to hide who he was - an imperfect follower of Jesus. He didn’t try to please anyone other than God. God doesn’t want you to wear a mask. He wants you to be genuine. You don’t have to worry about pleasing anyone other than God. God asks for your honest thoughts through prayer. You don’t have to impress anyone other than Him. 

HEART

Who are you trying to impress? Who do you have a mask on? God calls you to take that mask off today. Let people see you. 

HANDS

Prayer: God, I pray for the ability to focus on You and the things above. Lord, I pray that I can be like Paul and not wear a mask but show others who you really are. Amen.
