Bible Verse of The Day – 5-13-24

Psalm 31:24 (NKJV) 24 Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.

Are you facing something extremely difficult right now?

Do you wake up in the morning with fear hanging over you, making you want to stay in bed?

Do you feel alone, like no one knows or cares about what you are facing?

Does it feel like you may not make it through this?

We want you to know that you are not alone.

You may be feeling less than optimistic, but God is bigger than the obstacle you are facing.

We realize that may sound cliche. But we promise you it is true.

We have also faced difficult challenges at times. We know how it feels to be flat on our backs, looking up and having no idea how we will overcome the obstacle before us.

But God is forever faithful. He does not change, and His arm is not short.

God’s infinite wisdom supersedes earthly troubles. His understanding transcends human intellect.

His solutions confound the most intelligent human minds. But those solutions are as solid as God Himself, our Rock and Redeemer.

So, as you walk through the trials and difficulties of life, lean on Him. Hold fast to Him. Let Him give you the strength to push through.

For it is in Him alone that we find our strength.

Psalm 27:1 (NKJV) 1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-21-23

John 16:33 (NKJV) 33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Life is never perfect; not for any of us.

Some of us deal with some very hard things in our lives, and we don’t always find a solution for them.

Some of these things last a long time… years and years. For some, these things might even last for a majority of their lives.

People often question this and ask why these things happen. Why do some people suffer so much in their lives?

There are no perfect, happy-ever-after type answers for the questions that get asked when these kinds of situations are encountered.

Sometimes life is just hard, with situations that are hard to understand, and even harder to endure.

Sometimes these things happen as consequences for choices we have made. Other times, they happen by no fault of our own. They just happen.

But take note that Jesus told us in the verse above that trials and tribulations would come. None of us is exempt.

Does that mean we can’t ask God for help or wisdom about our situation? Absolutely not.

The best thing we can do if we are in these kinds of situations is understand that God is our rock and our fortress in everything that we face.

He is our source of peace and of hope.

He is our solace (comfort, consolation, cheer, support).

His joy is our strength.

We should be seeking Him every day, not just to ask Him how to get out of our situation, but also to ask Him what we can learn from it.

How can we bring glory to Him in the midst of the storm we are traveling through?

Let us grow while facing trials. Let us look to Him for His comfort and strength. And let us find our joy in Him, even as we push through times of great difficulty.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-1-23

Romans 15:13 (NKJV) 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Our walk with God is a walk of hope, rooted in and built upon the faith we have in Him.

This scripture says a lot when it comes to our walk and what we should expect.

Because of the hope He gives us, we will also experience joy and peace.

When do we experience this joy and peace? When we believe!

Our faith and trust in God are the catalyst that brings joy and peace.

These are not simply emotions that we feel based on how our life is going for us.

True joy and peace are byproducts of our faith and our trust in God that become more strongly developed on a level that’s parallel to our growth as a believer.

And take note of that last line of the verse above; “that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit”.

You see, that line gives proof that these are not just emotions, but an outcome that takes place because of our growing trust in God.

This is not a deep spiritual mystery. It is a simple reality that doesn’t require a degree in theology, an extensive understanding of the word of God or decades of studying the Hebrew or Greek languages.

It takes only a genuine desire and a willingness to make a sincere effort to know and trust God more every day.

In this we will not only find Him, but we will also find that joy and peace that can only come by way of God’s Spirit through a deeper walk with our Savior.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-2-22

Psalm 71:5 (NKJV) 5 For You are my hope, O Lord God; You are my trust from my youth.

During times of joy and happiness, and in seasons when everything seems to be “just right”, we don’t usually think much about hope.

We don’t really need to since everything is going well.

It’s only during less pleasant seasons that hope comes to mind.

So, when those tougher seasons happen, where does our hope lie?

Many will put their hope in different things. Most times that hope will be in the thing that is viewed as being the solution to bring the tough season we’re enduring to an end.

In reality, though, regardless of the season we are navigating, God is our only true source of hope.

Why does it seem so hard sometimes for us to understand this and hold tightly to God as our source of hope?

Most of the time this is due to our flesh not wanting to hold onto something or someone we can’t see and Who may not satisfy our intellect.

You see, our minds like to have something to hold onto that we can easily understand and explain.

But God blows that all apart because He doesn’t use human logic when He does something.

Dividing a body of water to allow a huge mass of people to pass through, providing water from a rock, speaking through a donkey, using a prostitute to save some of His people during a time of battle, raising a dead man from a grave, healing a blind man by spitting into dirt and rubbing mud on that man’s eyes; these are all things that God did.

Not even one of them makes sense to our human understanding.

And yet, this is the God we serve and Who loves us enough to send His son (God incarnate) to die for us.

That is true hope, found in the Creator of all that we see.

Hold onto Him and rejoice as He continues to confound the wise and baffle human understanding, drawing hope from Him no matter what season we’re in.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-16-22

Romans 15:13 (NKJV) 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Who is God?

He is the God of hope.

I don’t know about you, but to me I would say that we could all use a little more hope these days.

So, if God is the God of hope, and we are His children, hope should be part of our nature.

We should not be hopeless. We should not lack hope.

We should be hopeful, and steadfast in that hope, since we carry the “DNA” of Christ in our spirit.

This is not to say that we are like little “Christs” running around. That’s not the case.

But because (if we have put our faith and trust in Christ) we are children of the Most High God, we should be inherently more hopeful than any other people on earth.

Why? Because our Father is the One in charge and on the throne!

Don’t let the situation in the world get you down. Don’t let it drag your thoughts down to the point where you’re constantly discouraged.

God has told us that things of this nature will happen. And the fact that they are should prove His word is true.

Trust Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-24-19

Jeremiah 29:11 (NLT) 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

This verse is very frequently quoted. It’s a very encouraging word from God!

Today we want to focus on one little word that gives us very big encouragement; Hope.

God says in this verse that He has plans for each one of us. Wrapping it up, He says His plans are to give us hope.

Hope is something that we all need. Without it, our lives can seem pretty meaningless. Without hope, we have nothing to look forward to, nothing to live for. And if we are going to have hope, the best kind of hope that we can have is hope from God.

Hope in anything less than God is hope that can be very fragile. But if we hope in God, we are on a firm foundation, trusting in the very One who spoke the worlds into existence.

We are all unique, and our situations are also unique. So, our hopes can vary greatly from one person to another. But it’s safe to say that, no matter who we are, if our hope is based on and rooted in God, they are hopes that aren’t just wishful thinking.

So, if you are feeling down, look up today. If you’re feeling hopeless, let God give you the best kind of hope that can be found; His hope.

He will never, ever disappoint us if we place our hope in Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-5-18

Please click to watch the video now.Good day!

We pray that your walk with God is growing and flourishing.

Where does your hope lie?

That’s the question we want to ask you today. And that’s the topic of our brand-new video.

Sometimes we unknowingly shift our hope from being rooted in God, to the things we’re hoping for. We don’t do it purposely. It just kind of happens. And when this happens it can cause problems in many ways.

Once we realize this is happening, it’s not difficult to fix. And once it’s fixed, it will be easy to keep it from happening again in the future.

We hope that this new video will give you some fresh insights.

Be mightily blessed in Him.

Sincerely,

Pastor Curt & Pastor Ellie

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-15-18

Psalm 71:5 (NKJV) 5 For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth.

Our relationship with God gives us hope.

We serve a Creator who wants only the very best for us.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Sometimes we may not feel like there is any hope, especially when things just seem to go wrong again and again.

But, rest assured that this is just life and the things that happen to all of us from time to time.

As we have mentioned many times in the past, seasons come and go. And each season offers unique opportunities as well as unique challenges. It’s not the fact that challenges come that determines who we are. It’s how we handle them that matters.

It’s always easy to lay down and have ourselves a little pity party. But that will never help us or change anything for the better. It will do quite the opposite.

So, we say to you today, rise up! Shake off the sorrow and the discouragement. Look your challenges square in the face and claim the victory that Jesus has won for us on the cross.

Rebuke the devil, in the name of Jesus, and push forward.

Romans 15:13 (NKJV) 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-20-16

Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Hope. It’s what our walk with God is based on. It’s what our eternity is based on. Without hope, our lives are pretty pointless. But with hope, our lives are meaningful, bountiful and beautiful!

Sometimes the situations we face can make us feel hopeless. Believe us when we tell you that we know from experience. We have been there.

But when we hold fast to our hope, and to the God and Father who gives us that hope, we come through those trying times with new faith, new hope and a bigger trust in God.

Lamentations 3:24 (NKJV) 24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

God is calling us to trust Him in everything. He wants us to have such hope and faith in Him that it permeates every aspect of our lives.

Does that mean that we will live like Christian superheroes, never making mistakes or never having a weak moment? Nope!

But it means that we will look to Him in everything that we do, every choice we have to make and every situation that we encounter.

Why? Because we understand that He is the one who gives us hope; that incredible hope that gives our lives meaning and gives our souls reassurance that somehow everything will work out, despite what our eyes see in the natural.

And as we continue to hold onto that hope, our lives will be transformed, one day at a time, so that this hope we speak of becomes the very foundation on which our lives are built.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-19-15

Psalm 95:3 (NKJV) 3 For the Lord is the great God, And the great King above all gods.

God is above all things. He is great and mighty!

He will prevail over all things. Nothing that happens here on the earth catches Him off guard or takes Him by surprise.

Because of this, we have hope in Him and His promises.

No matter what we face in our lives, we can have hope because He is great and mighty. He is steadfast.. our solid rock.

He is our fortress, a safe place of refuge.

If you’re facing a trial or tribulation today, don’t give in to the temptation to run and hide or to give up your faith.

Stand firm. Do your best to look beyond your circumstance and look to Him for your answers. It’s not always easy, but we can have victory if we trust Him.

For He is the great God!
