Bible Verse of The Day – Faith and Projects – 3-11-18

Greetings fellow believers! 

We pray that your life is being blessed by God. 

Did you know that faith and projects go hand in hand? That’s right! 

God doesn’t give us faith simply for the sake of us having faith. He gives us faith so that we will trust Him more and so we can use that trust to let Him guide us through the projects He gives us to complete. 

We just recorded and published a new video on this topic, and we’d love for you to watch it. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

In this new video, we share some Biblical examples of this. We also share how this has affected our own lives. 

Please click here to watch the video now. 

We hope that this video will shed some light on this topic, giving you some direction in your walk with God and the projects He asks you to complete for His kingdom. 

Be blessed in all that you do. 

Sincerely, 

Pastor Curt & Pastor Ellie

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-18

Romans 4:5 (NKJV) 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness…

Our good works do not make us righteous in God’s eyes. It doesn’t happen that way.

Some types of religious organizations may promote good works as a way to obtain righteousness. But, righteousness in God’s eyes comes through having faith and believing in who Jesus says He is, and what He did for each one of us.

When we give our life over and surrender it up to Him, that faith that we have in Him is accounted for righteousness.

This is all made possible by the blood of Christ. His shed blood washed away our sins and made it possible for God to look upon us as righteous and cleansed; spotless.

We can’t get this by our good works or good deeds. It’s by faith and faith alone.

Do we believe on Him, Jesus Christ, who justifies the ungodly? Do we trust Him as our Redeemer, Healer and Provider? If so, then our faith is accounted for righteousness!

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-17

Matthew 9:29-30 (NKJV) 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened… 

Our faith is very important in every aspect of our lives. 

Our faith is the foundation upon which our walk with God is built. If our faith is weak, so will our walk with God be weak. 

Faith affects our relationship with God on many levels. 

The strength of our faith, or the lack of strength, will determine whether we believe Him or doubt Him. 

It will determine whether we follow Him with our whole heart or with just a tiny piece of it. 

It will determine whether we pray with power or pray weakly and with few results. 

Our faith will determine how we approach each day. It will affect how we carry ourselves. And it will change our outlook on everything. 

Jesus specifically told the blind men “According to your faith let it be to you”. They confessed their faith in Him to heal them. And it was done. 

Everything we do in our lives will be affected by our faith. So how do we have strong faith? 

We stop trying to build our faith for the sake of having faith. And we start building our faith and trust in God. God is the supplier of our faith. He gave each and every one of us a “measure of faith”. Whether that measure grows or not is up to us. 

We put God first in everything. Our attitude. Our work. Our relationships. Our giving. Our friendships, and much more. 

And we spend time with Him. We read His word. We talk with Him. We get to know Him in a personal way. And as we do this, our relationship with Him gets stronger and stronger. 

And that strong relationship translates into stronger faith. 

Yes, it takes work on our part. Strong faith doesn’t come by way of someone laying hands on us and speaking it over us. It doesn’t come simply by us asking for it. And it doesn’t come by reading books about it. 

But God rewards those who diligently seek Him. So, as we seek Him with purpose and in sincerity, He will reward us with stronger faith and a changed heart. 

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. 

Seek Him. Put Him first. And build a strong walk with Him. And watch your faith blossom and grow in strength.

Bible Verse of The Day – Faith vs. Presumption – 9-10-17

Greetings fellow believers! 

We trust that God is blessing you in many ways. 

We hear a lot about faith. But we rarely hear anything about presumption. 

Presumption can be very harmful and dangerous because it disguises itself as faith. Presumption will present itself as faith, but it is far from it. 

We have published a new video about Faith vs. Presumption. We’d really like you to watch it and let God show you the truth about presumption that parades itself as faith. 

Click here to watch the video now. 

Moving in presumption that we think is faith can put us into some seriously bad situations. It can cause us to make choices and take huge risks that God never intended for us to take. 

Click here to watch the video now. 

So, if you want to avoid making huge mistakes when it comes to taking steps of faith, be sure to check this video out right away.

Be abundantly blessed in the name of Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-8-17

Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 

Faith. It’s what our entire walk with God is based on. 

It takes faith to reach out to Him. It takes faith to live each day as His child. In fact, it is impossible to please God without faith. 

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. 

Some might ask how to please Him if we have only a little faith, or if we lack faith. The answer is in the last part of the above verse; diligently seek Him. 

You see, too many of us spend our time trying to grow and build our faith. Many times, having big faith becomes the focus of our daily walk, instead of God himself. 

We chase faith. We seek faith. We “speak faith”. We read books and watch videos about having more faith. But in the end, if all we are pursuing is faith, we will be left emptyhanded, weak and feeble. And we will still have little or no faith.

God, and our walk with Him, should be our sole focus. We should not strive to have big faith. We should put all of our effort into having a big relationship with our big God! 

By doing so, our faith will grow and become strong, and become active in our lives. It will be what takes us from one day to the next. And it will be what helps us to trust God for even the most basic needs in our lives. 

Why? Because we have sought God diligently. And as our relationship with God grows, our faith grows accordingly. 

Think of it like building muscles. We set out to have big muscles, so we exercise them. As our muscles grow, they become stronger. And because they get stronger, we can now move heavy things that we wouldn’t have been able to move when our muscles were weaker. 

We didn’t set out to be able to move heavier things. We simply set out to grow our muscles. But being able to move heavy things is a byproduct of having big muscles. 

Having big faith is a byproduct of having a strong walk with God. 

So remember; having big faith won’t give us a stronger walk with God. Having a strong walk with God will give us big faith.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-31-17

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Eight little words that can change our lives forever.

In order to do this, we have to surrender our ideas and agendas to God. With some things it will, without a doubt, be a struggle to let go. With others we will find it very easy.

It’s a sacrifice we all make willingly, giving up our plan to trust Him with His plan.

Our faith starts off the size of a mustard seed. Some people’s faith will stay that size. They are very comfortable with it being that size. Some people may lose even their mustard-seed-sized faith and walk away from God.

But, If we truly want it to grow, we must choose to take the personal steps God has for each one of us. As we do that, our faith in Him will grow. Our walk will get stronger and we will get more clarity of vision as we go. And we will begin to live a more abundant life!

The key to walking and living by faith is to take that mustard-seed-sized bit of faith that He has given to each one of us and let it work.

This means getting His direction and answers before we take our steps, not after. And then we walk it out, step by step, day by day.

As we do this, and we see Him move on our behalf, that little tiny mustard seed will begin to grow and get stronger. Before we know it, it’s no longer small as a mustard seed, but strong and mighty in Him.

Trust Him with our lives today. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-10-17

Psalm 116:6 (NLT) 6 The Lord protects those of childlike faith; I was facing death, and he saved me.

God wants us to have childlike faith. Faith is the foundation of our walk with Him. In fact, without faith, we can’t please God.

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Childlike faith is what God asks of us, but what does that mean. What is childlike faith?

Having faith like a child means that we give someone 100% trust. We don’t question them. We don’t doubt them. We know that if they say they will do something, then they will do it. No questions asked.

Children trust parents unconditionally, unless they have been given a reason not to do so. When a child jumps into their daddy’s arms, they fully expect and know that he will catch them. They don’t stop and think about it. They don’t question whether he will catch them or not. They just jump.

And so it is with our Father in heaven. He wants us to trust Him with everything about our lives. The little things and the big things. The critically important and the not-so-important.

Jesus Himself said that unless we become like children, we can’t enter into the kingdom of God.

Matthew 18:2-3 (NKJV) 2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

He is God Almighty, Jehovah Jireh. He is the Alpha and the Omega, who was, and is, and is to come.

Trust Him with everything. Jump into His arms.

Bible Verse of The Day – Hype vs. Faith – 6-4-17

Have you ever heard a message that was based on hype? Have you ever made a decision and then asked yourself “what did I just do”?

Hype can be very dangerous for us if we don’t recognize it and learn how to avoid it.

We just recorded a new video on this topic and we’d like you to watch it.

Please click here to watch the video now.

Hype will cause us to make choices that we almost instantly regret. Faith will give us God’s peace as we follow His leading.

Please click here to watch the video now.

So it’s important that we walk in faith and move based on God’s leading, not based on pressure or manipulation.

Please click here to watch the video now.

Enjoy your day and stay close to God.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-1-17

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV) 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

We don’t walk by sight.

I had this conversation the other day with someone that was feeling very discouraged. The situation they were facing had loss written all over it.

How do we stay encouraged as believers and keep going when our situation is discouraging, and when everything we hear and see about it is not good and we are feeling scared?

This is when we buckle down and let our faith in God rise above all our feelings and thoughts. We rise above all that we can see and hear and just stay silent, trusting that God has the answer. And know that whatever it may be is going to be good.

Matthew 17:20 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “…assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Faith will help us through!

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-17

Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

It’s important that we understand that this is not a one time, only-when-we-are-in-trouble verse that we only follow when we’re in desperate need of help. This becomes a permanent lifestyle when we make Jesus our Lord and Savior!

This is the beginning of a brand new way of walking.

Faith; it’s where it all begins!

Are we still trying to walk the way we used to walk, before we became believers in Christ? If we are, then we will get the same results we used to get.

Maybe some of us are frustrated today because life is still the same as it was, and we were expecting big changes. Nothing is going to change for us if we don’t change the way we do things.

We need to learn to walk all over again. That’s right. And just as a baby taking its first steps, we might be a little wobbly and shaky.

We may even fall or fail at times. But, listen; We don’t stop learning. We keep on trying to get it right. We keep on pushing through, believing and having faith to get it right.

Even in our learning, God sees our faith.

Keep trying. Keep our eyes and our focus on Him. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-17

Matthew 14:29 (NKJV) 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

This is amazing! Peter stepped out of the boat, and walked on the water. That’s how miracles happen, when Jesus asks us to do something and we do it.

Walking on water is definitely not something Peter would have tried on his own. He heard what Jesus was saying to him, “COME.” And Peter stepped out in obedience and faith. And there he was, right in the middle of a miracle.

How do we hear what God is saying to us today? We pray, we read, we listen and then we take the steps that we hear, in faith.

Some steps will be hard to take, there is no doubt. But if they are ordered by God, don’t fear. Just walk.

Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.
