SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

October 10

Yet look at you now! Everything is new! Although you were once distant and far away from God, now you have been brought delightfully close to him through the sacred blood of Jesus—you have actually been united to Christ! Our reconciling “Peace” is Jesus! He has made Jew and non-Jew one in Christ. By dying as our sacrifice, he has broken down every wall of prejudice that separated us and has now made us equal through our union with Christ.

Ephesians 2:13-14 (TPT)

What if the walls separating us are standing only because we have become comfortable living behind them? In Ephesians 2:13–14 (TPT), Paul reminds us that Christ brings those once far away near and becomes our peace, breaking down the barriers that divide us. Engaging In The Holy means refusing to rebuild walls that God's love has already torn down. Living High And Lifted Up means allowing the vision to mature beyond personal advancement into reconciliation, belonging, and shared possibility. Our Black communities flourish when we confront barriers to opportunity, bridge generational divides, and build spaces where dignity, justice, and collective strength can thrive. Dream Big, because God's vision for your future may require making room for someone you once considered distant. Decide To Become a bridge instead of a barrier, and Demonstrate Your Power by opening doors, healing divisions, and creating pathways where others can flourish.
