Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the name of Jesus. 

Our newest video, The Increase, is live and ready for you to watch it! 

In today’s video, we discuss when Jesus rejected the disciples’ request for Him to give them more faith. 

The fact that Jesus told them “no” is a bit shocking to some, but we think this new video will help make sense of it, so we hope you’ll take a few minutes and watch it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-26-19

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Have you ever noticed that some people have very strong faith? And yet others have very weak faith, or very little faith at all.

Why is that, anyway?

Well, it’s mostly because some people have come to understand how to grow their faith, while others have never been taught or have never desired it.

But here’s the key that so many people miss; strong faith is not gained by asking for it. It is gained by maturing into it.

And, really, the truth is that having strong faith doesn’t happen because we pursue stronger faith. It comes because we have a strong relationship with God. Strong faith is a byproduct of a strong walk with God.

So, if we’re desiring strong faith, we need to refocus our time and energy away from pursuing faith and toward pursuing God. And as our walk with God grows, so does our faith. In essence, faith is really just trust in God.

As our trust in God grows, our faith will grow accordingly. And the funny thing is that we may not even recognize that our faith has grown until we start looking back at things that God has had us do, or when we see how we have reacted to certain situations and circumstances.

Then it hits us and we see it more clearly.

How do we reach a point where we trust God so much that our faith in Him is strong? By devouring His word. Remember, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

In other words, our faith grows as we hear, learn and understand the word of God and the message of Christ.

So it’s up to us to put forth the effort. It’s up to us to take the bull by the horns and press in to God, draw near to Him, seek Him with our whole heart.

As we make the effort, God gives the increase.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-13-18

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Our walk with God is based on faith. As we grow closer to God, our faith will grow. And as our faith grows, we will see more and more of God’s work in every aspect of our lives.

But how do we grow our faith in God? How do we get to a place where we show that we trust God with everything about our lives with our actions, not just with our words?

The absolute most important step is spending time in His word. It’s hearing His word that gives us faith. His word feeds our spirit. A strong spirit is able to hear and obey God more easily than a weak spirit.

In addition to spending time in His word, we also need to put action behind our words. Having faith is not based on our works, but without action, our faith is not worth much.

James 2:20 (NKJV) 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

James says that faith without works is dead. In this particular verse, dead can also be translated as “useless”. So, if we don’t put action behind our words and show God that we trust Him by the actions we take, then our faith is useless. Those are pretty strong words right there.

Many people think this verse refers only to what we do for others, by helping people or giving to people. But it also means that we need to put action behind our words by doing what God asks of us.

Peter stepped down out of the boat, onto the water, and walked to Jesus when Jesus called out to him to do so. Peter’s steps were an outward sign of his faith in Jesus. If Jesus had simply asked Peter if he trusted Him, all Peter would have had to do was say “yes”.

But when Jesus beckoned Peter and called him to step out of the boat, Peter’s faith had to be put into action. And Peter suddenly found himself literally walking on the water, toward Jesus.

It was only when Peter looked at the water through his natural eyes, and he began to doubt, that he started to sink.

By speaking, we tell God that we have faith. By doing, we show Him that we have faith.

Let’s show God that we have faith in Him, not just with our words, but with our actions also.

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 – 6-6-16

Numbers 13:17 (NKJV) 17 Then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan…

The Israelites had been wandering in the desert for many years. As they encamped close to the land that God had promised them, Moses commanded some of the men to go and spy out the land.

So Caleb and others went and did as they were told. And then they returned with their report.

The fruit was larger than anything they had ever seen. The land truly flowed with milk and honey. The land was just as God had promised.

But some of them reported a problem. The cities were fortified and very large. And the people who dwelt there were extremely large in stature… giants. The Israelites saw themselves as grasshoppers in their own site when compared to these men. They were all very fearful and thought it best not to invade this land.

They saw things through eyes of fear.

But Caleb spoke up and told them that they could very well go in and possess the land!

Numbers 13:30 (NKJV) 30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

Caleb saw things through eyes of faith. And he was one of the people who was eventually able to go in and possess the land. While those who doubted never entered in.

There will be times when God asks us to do something that appears to be impossible if we look at it through natural eyes and intellect.

Caleb and Joshua were able to go in and possess the land because they had faith. They trusted God and His promise to them.

This is a great lesson for all of us. When God asks us to do something that seems impossible in the natural, will we have faith enough to trust Him and do what He asks?

How will we see things? Through eyes of fear or eyes of faith?

A great question for us to ponder on today 🙂
