Midway Church Outreach

People may never read a Bible, but they will read your life. They are watching how you respond to difficulties, how you treat others, how you handle disappointment, and how you love. Every day, you are a living testimony of the Jesus you follow. Let your words reflect His grace, your actions reflect His compassion, and your heart reflect His love. You may never know who is watching, but God can use your faithfulness to point someone toward Him.

Matthew 5:16 - "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven."

Isaiah 40:31 - “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

God doesn't need perfection. He needs willingness.

Throughout Scripture, God used ordinary people with flaws, fears, and failures. Moses stuttered. Jonah ran away. Peter denied Jesus. Yet God worked through each of them because they were willing to say yes.

God is not looking for perfect people. He is looking for hearts that are available, teachable and ready to follow Him.

Your willingness in God's hands is more powerful than your perfection could ever be. ✝️

The world is still quiet. The sun is just beginning to rise. The birds are waking up. Before the demands of the day begin, we gather to more our bodies, worship our Creator, and mediate on His Word. Between each song, we’ll pause to reflect on scripture and connect our movement to the passage we’re studying. Not just a workout. Not just a Bible study. A chance to start your weekend with your mind, body, and soul fixed in Christ. 📍Saturday | 6:30am | Midway Church 9795 Old US Highway 52 Lexington, NC ☀️Worship & Workout with the Word 📖 Scripture + Movement + Community First class is free!

Our Most Important Work

All throughout the Bible, Scripture is abundantly clear that love is at the center of what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

In Matthew 22:36-40, Jesus says the greatest commandment is to love God with everything we are.

In John 13:35, Jesus says that people will know we’re His disciples because of the way that we love others. We won’t be recognized by our knowledge of the Bible, our families, the career paths we take, or the amount of time spent at church. While those are all important things, Jesus says that the most important quality is how we love other people.

1 Peter 4:8 tells us the same thing: we should be among the most loving people on earth, and our goal should be to love each other deeply. Peter, the author of this verse, also says love is the key to forgiving others. Just as we have been forgiven by Jesus, our love for other people should encourage us to forgive those who have wronged us.

Forgiving those who have mistreated us is one of the hardest things to do—it requires that we love deeply. That’s why forgiveness is evidence of a life marked by God’s love.

So if your closest friends were asked about your top qualities, what would they say? Would your top quality be how loving you are towards others? If not, know that you’re not alone. None of us are perfect, and we can all do better at this. Today, ask God to show you ways that you can show love to those around you. Let Him fill your heart with a deep love for others!

"I raise a hallelujah in the presence of my enemies."

What a powerful declaration of faith. It means choosing worship over worry, praise over fear, and trust over doubt—even when circumstances are difficult.

The enemy may bring discouragement, fear, grief, or uncertainty, but a hallelujah reminds us that God is still on the throne. We do not wait until the battle is over to praise Him; we praise Him in the middle of the battle, knowing He is fighting for us.

"I raise a hallelujah in the presence of my enemies. My praise is not based on my circumstances—it's based on who God is. The battle belongs to the Lord, and I will worship Him through every storm." 🙌
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." — Exodus 14:14

Whatever God has called you to, He hasn’t changed His mind because it got hard. He will bring it all to fruition in His timing. It may not feel easy, exciting, or certain, but when you choose faithfulness over feelings and keep showing up anyway, God doesn’t waste your obedience.

Every hard step, every act of courage when you want to quit, every prayer whispered through exhaustion … He’s using all of it. He's building something in you that’s bigger than you can see. He’s preparing you for something you can’t even imagine right now.

Momentum isn’t built on giant leaps. It's built on faithful steps taken one at a time.

You’re closer than you think. And whatever wall you’re building is worth finishing.
