Memorize and Reflect

"So he reasoned in the synagogue with both Jews and God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there." (Acts 17:17 )


Prayer Direction

Ask God to give you discipline to study His Word, the Bible, with diligence and consistency. Pray for opportunities to defend, explain, and clarify what you believe…with a humble and gentle spirit.


“Live It!” Challenge

Read a Book: Nabeel wrote a book called, Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus. Consider picking up a copy in the Shoreline Café and reading it. Nabeel’s story will give many examples of how you can be loving, humble, and also bold and direct with articulating your faith in Jesus.
