Join us on this four-week journey to grow together in faith.
Take the challenge! ALL IN!
Day Four: Thursday, August 7, 2025
Challenge #4 - Call a church member and Challenge them to connect
Today is Day 4 in the PHBC 28-Day Challenge! We are “All In” as we grow in our faith and grow with our community.
Today’s Challenge takes us to the heart of community: Call a church member and challenge them to reconnect with the Church.
We’ve launched into our Challenges, recognizing that scripture is a compass for our lives. God shows us in His Word, time and time again, that our lives are to be fueled by His love so that we can share in fellowship with the community. God’s love is the heart of today’s challenge: pick up the phone to challenge someone to go All In with you!
In the coldest places on earth, penguins survive not by strength, but by huddling together, taking turns bearing the cold for the sake of the whole. Elephants instinctively gather around the weak, circling their injured to protect, feed, and lift them. Even the smallest creatures, like bees, flourish only in the hive—each one with a role, all working toward something sweet. And overhead, we see geese flying in formation, each one taking a turn in the lead, honking encouragement to those beside and behind.
We aren’t individuals walking alone in life! We belong to each other, and when someone is missing, we are incomplete. People pull back from community for many reasons - pain, life changes, mistakes, you name it! Sometimes people drift away, not because they’ve stopped believing, but because no one has called them back in. Today, YOU are the one to do that.
God designed creation around togetherness, and today we choose to be a part of God’s design. Fellowship is a gift! Let people know they are needed!
Take the challenge today: Call a church member and invite them to reconnect.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together... but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”
Day Three: Wednesday, August 6, 2025
Challenge #3 - Share with Someone what You’re Reading
Today is Day 3 in our 28-Day Challenge! If you're just getting started, you're in the perfect place to let God begin something new in your life. We're journeying together to go All In—asking God to move in our lives, our church, and our community!
If you’ve been with us the last two days, you know we’ve already committed to 28 days of change—and to being changed as we grow.
Today we’re dipping our toes into the water:
Today’s Challenge is to share with someone what you’re reading.
Tell someone you’re doing something new! When we truly commit to following Jesus—especially through His Word—something powerful begins to take shape. This isn’t just about reading the Bible for information; it’s about transformation. And it’s not about doing it perfectly. It’s about showing up with a willing heart and letting God continue the good work He’s already begun in you.
Good news is meant to be shared! When we’ve received something wonderful—when we hear good news—we naturally want to tell people we care about. That’s especially true when God blesses us and unleashes His power in our lives. When we share what we’re experiencing, it reinforces truth in us and plants a seed in someone else.
Here’s the thing: this can be simple. You can just say,
“Hey, I’ve been reading this, and it really encouraged me.”
If you’re reading this on Facebook, share the post on your wall—or send it through Messenger to someone you care about. The bottom line is this: we’re not supposed to hide God’s goodness. We’re meant to share His love and generosity with others.
Tell / text / post / share with someone today about what you’re reading in this challenge. You might just help someone else take a step—and maybe even change their life.
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
— Matthew 5:16
Day Two: Tuesday, August 5, 2025
Challenge #2 - Commit to be open to being changed
We are beginning something new! If you are just starting, no worries. You’re right on time, and it’s never too late to let God do something new in your life! We are on a journey together to go “All In” for the next 28 Days so God can move in our lives, church, and community. Plan now to join us in worship this Sunday at 2200 Kavanaugh in Little Rock!
Each day this month, we have a challenge. Each day, we are committing to something more, together, to be more of who God can make us be. We are stronger together, so committing together makes it more likely to accomplish the task.
Today’s Challenge is big: Commit to being open to being changed.
Oh, I know… On the surface, that may sound kind of simple: you haven’t been asked to do anything specific (yet). Today, we are challenged to be ready if God asks us to step out of our comfort zone. The challenge is to decide - now - that we will commit to being “All In” when we have that nudge to call someone, speak to someone we wouldn’t talk to normally, pray when we normally wouldn’t, or… well, you get the idea.
Think about creation: A caterpillar doesn’t become a butterfly by holding onto the branch — it must enter the cocoon and let transformation happen. Does the caterpillar know what is going to happen when it goes into the cocoon? Does it feel crowded or uncomfortable?
Change can be uncomfortable. It means letting go of the familiar and trusting that God has something else planned, instead. When we open our hearts to God, He works in ways we can’t always see but can fully trust.
If we commit to being changed by God’s Word and Spirit, we’ll emerge stronger, freer, and more beautiful in Christ than we ever imagined. If we wait until it feels comfortable, we will probably never take the first step!
Commit today to be open to whatever change God brings this week or this month. Expect it to challenge you, but be ready for something beautiful!
Pray today and ask God to help you commit to Him fully as you prepare to be changed. Tell God that you are “All In” for all that He has for you!
"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." - Philippians 1:6
“28 Days: All In For Jesus” - Day One: Monday, August 4, 2025
Challenge #1 - Commit to Go “All In”!
Have you ever noticed how much can happen in a short time, or “when God is in charge”?
In just 3 days, Jesus went from crucified to risen — changing eternity forever. Jonah went from the belly of the fish to dry land. A seed can begin to sprout in as little as 3 days.
In 5 days, a tiny colony of bees can hatch new life in the hive. A weather system can cross an entire continent. A small idea can multiply into something much greater than its beginning.
In 7 days, God spoke the entire universe into existence and rested. Taste buds can start adjusting to new habits.
And in 28 days? A caterpillar can transform into a butterfly, a robin can go from laying eggs to sending its young into the world, the moon can move through its full cycle, faithfully marking time and seasons, and new habits can take root and begin to reshape a life.
God’s Church in Acts 2 didn’t just admire Jesus’ teaching — they devoted themselves to living it out. For the next 28 days, I’m inviting you to commit — really commit — to the Lord.
If God can create the universe in 7 days, raise Jesus in 3, and transform nature in 28, what could He do in your life if you were truly devoted for the next 4 weeks? What would your life, your church, and your community look like if you were “All In”?
What if your Church Family was “All In” with you, too?
Today is the beginning of something new! If you missed worship yesterday (August 3), find someone who was there to get more details and make plans to be in worship with us this Sunday.
God is doing big things at 2200 Kavanaugh in Little Rock. He has chosen you to be a part of this work! Pray today and ask the Lord to help you commit fully to Him over these 28 days. Tell Him you’re “All In”!
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” - Acts 2:42
