“The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.”

This week’s EFKS theme:
Names: People and Places

A Thought for Today

Names often come from how others see us. They reflect reputation, identity, and the way a life is lived. In today’s reading, a new name begins to take shape.

What This Means for Us Today

In Antioch, believers are first called Christians. This name is not given by the disciples themselves, but by those watching their lives. Their actions, words, and way of living made their faith visible.

This passage reminds us that faith is not only what we believe, but how we live. A name grows from consistency, humility, and love shown over time.

Carry This With You

Let your life quietly reflect what you believe.
Sometimes the clearest witness needs no words.

A Simple Prayer

God, shape my life
so that my actions reflect Your love.
Help me live faithfully each day.
Amen.

Today’s Invitation

Pay attention today to how you live and speak.
Let your faith be seen through kindness and integrity.
