Mike Blackhall shared about Tychicus, a faithful friend of Paul who was trusted to carry messages and encourage others. He reminded us that we can also be like Tychicus—faithful, helpful, and willing to share the Good News with those around us. When we choose to be encouragers, we help others stay strong in their faith.

Michael Brown shared how Simon of Cyrene, an ordinary man just passing by, was chosen to carry Jesus’ cross—a powerful reminder that God often uses those who seem forgotten. He reminded us that God still works through “nobodies” today to do unforgettable things. When we say yes to God, our faith can leave a lasting impact on future generations.
