This Month’s Biblical Theme Is: God helps
Our stories this month show that God helps by giving His people what they need to live faithfully and serve others. God gives us the Holy Spirit to guide and grow us, helping us live like Jesus. He helps us have faith and trust Him even when it’s hard. God also equips us to do His work, just as He helped Timothy lead and serve the church. Through wisdom and love, He helps us care for others and live out our faith in practical ways. In every situation, God gives the help we need to follow Him.

God used Paul to proclaim the truth to people who had never heard it, and He placed Priscilla and Aquila in Apollo’s path to explain the Gospel more clearly. In each moment, God was directing and fulfilling His plan.
