Bible Verse of The Day – 1-3-26

Romans 7:19 (NKJV) 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

We understand what it means to be faithful, but doing it is very difficult at times for the flesh to carry out. We all deal with human imperfections. And they can get in the way of doing what we know is right.

Paul says it best; when I want to do something good, I don’t do it. What do I do instead? The opposite.

Being willing to do things and actually doing them are two entirely different things.

When we do get it right, we should praise God, because He is our strength in helping us carry things all the way through.

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Our flesh can be on that list of things that are impossible to deal with. Most times we struggle with our very own selfish ambitions when it comes to being faithful to God.

But, the closer we get to God, the easier it will become because through Him all things are possible.

God is perfect at being faithful. We don’t ever have to worry that He will fail us. We don’t ever have to worry He won’t help us or be there when we need Him.

We are the ones who have trouble with being faithful in our actions. Let Him do a good work in us and help us to be faithful.

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-2-26

Proverbs 30:5-6 (LSB) 5 Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. 6 Do not add to His words Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar.

God is mysterious in nature. It’s part of who He is.

His word contains untold numbers of mysteries.

Many of these mysteries are beyond human comprehension. And there are some things that we will never understand.

We have to be OK with that.

It’s not wrong to ask questions and seek answers. But we have to understand that some questions will never have answers.

If we could know and understand everything about God, we would not revere Him.

We cannot become obsessed with finding answers that don’t exist.

We can’t fabricate answers based on human intellect, trying to connect the dots, or by conjecture.

Doing so is flirting with or bordering on adding to or taking away from God’s word. And this can be very dangerous ground.

God has told us that it is impossible to please Him 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.

Our relationship with Him is based completely on faith. We cannot have a relationship with Him outside of faith.

Human intellect will always question. Faith will trust even when we cannot see or fully understand things.

Because this is the nature of a faith-based relationship, it is OK if there are things we have no answers for.

We have to trust Him.

We have to take Him at His word.

Sometimes a mystery is meant to be just that; a mystery. And it behooves us to leave it as such.

Let us trust God. Walk and live by faith. It is what He asks of us. And we are wise to do what He asks.

Romans 11:33 (LSB) 33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-1-26

Genesis 1:28 (NKJV) 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply;

Having children is a blessing from God! He created us to be fruitful and to be able to multiply!

Our youngest daughter and her husband blessed us with our 5th grandchild very recently!

As I held this precious new baby in my arms, I looked at her in awe. How amazing childbirth is!

When I looked down at her, I saw her tiny cheeks, nose, mouth, ears, and oh her little fingers and toes. I was looking at it all!

When we take the time and acknowledge the making of a human being, it blows my mind.

She’s precious. Her skin, and all her little parts were working perfectly. They knew what to do without her even knowing. They just worked! Her little lungs knew to breathe. Her little eyes knew to open. She even did a yawn.

But, even though some things are automatic, there are those things that are not, and it is up to us to teach them. We are responsible when they are little to teach them the right things.

Most importantly, we are to raise them up teaching them all about the things of God.

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (NKJV) 6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Sometimes kids get to a point where they think they’re too old for this, and they may not want to hear it anymore. It’s our job to not give into what they want, but to give them what they need.

Stay strong. They will need what you have for them; it will carry them when you’re not around to pick up the pieces.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-31-25

Revelation 5:5 (LSB) 5 And one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying! Behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

We sometimes hear Jesus referred to as “the Lion of the tribe of Judah”.

What does this mean for us as followers of Christ?

Lions are seen as conquerors. They are fearless and not easily challenged or defeated.

They rule their territory triumphantly, with strength, power, and absolute authority.

There is great comfort in this since we have placed ourselves under His care, allowing Him to shepherd and protect us, His flock.

Jesus has authority that is righteous and irrevocable. It cannot be taken from Him. Nor can He be defeated.

The reference to Judah stems from His earthly lineage. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, was a descendant of David who was also a member of the tribe of Judah.

The fact that Jesus has His lineage in the tribe of Judah is also significant since this tribe was a tribe from which many kings of Israel came.

His absolute authority can be seen in the verse above, where He possessed the power and authority to open the seals on the scroll, when no one else could open them.

Jesus was the only One who ever defeated death, rising from His grave on the third day, defying everything known to man, and later ascending to sit at the right hand of God.

He was victorious in defeating sin, walking the earth in human form for 33 years, and doing so perfectly.

And His pure, holy blood was spilled for us, to redeem us from our sins, offering us freedom that no manmade ritual or tradition could offer.

The book of Revelation names Him KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, above all else on the earth or in heaven, for eternity.

Revelation 19:16 (NKJV) 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Amen 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-30-25

1 Corinthians 12:28 (NKJV) 28 And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues.

And God has appointed these in the church.

But today, let’s look at one that is probably the least desired; the gift that everyone wants to leave for others to do.

Helps.

This gift has been given to the church. How do we walk in such a gift? By the leading of the Holy Spirit.

He will guide us in our gift of helps. He will guide us as to who to help, when to help, and how to help.

This gift is crucial and frequently overlooked. There are so many who are suffering and hurting in this world. Help is needed everywhere, in every place, and at any moment.

It’s needed to be functioning within, and outside of, the church.

How do we help?

Luke 10:33-35 (NKJV) 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’

This is a perfect example of the gift of helps.

When we see a need, we must see through the eyes of Jesus and let Him move us with His compassion.

Then we cry out to Him for guidance as to how to help. We care for them in the way that the Holy Spirit guides us. We go the extra mile. We don’t think about it; we just do what He leads us to do in that moment.

His guidance in the gift of helps is very much needed and will keep us balanced in all that we do. Remember that as we do whatever it is, it is all for the glory of God!

Amen 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-29-25

1 Kings 19:12 (NKJV) 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

What interferes with us hearing God?

The Noise Inside Our Heads. This noise is detrimental to our walk with God and our ability to hear Him.

What noise are we referring to? Worries, anxiety, fretting, cares, and fears that we carry in our minds.

Looking at the opening scripture, it is important to note that it references a still, small voice.

If we look at the verses prior to the one above, God spoke to Elijah, telling him to leave the cave where he had been hiding, and go stand on the mountain.

Then God passed by the cave. And there were great disturbances!

A strong wind was tearing up the mountains and breaking the rocks to pieces before God. But God was not in the wind.

After the wind, a great earthquake and a fire. But God was not in the earthquake, nor in the fire.

And after the fire, there came a gentle whisper.

As Elijah heard the whisper, he wrapped his face in a mantle and stood at the entrance to the cave. God then spoke to him further, telling him many very important things.

It is important for us to note that the phrase “still, small voice” is also translated as a thin, gentle whisper, or silence.

If God speaks in a whisper, or so softly that it could be mistaken for silence, how will we hear Him if our heads are always overflowing with thoughts, worries, anxieties, and fears?

We must learn to walk in God’s peace, letting him silence our fears and worries.

His word tells us that His peace will guard our hearts and minds. This is a promise of God that we must understand and heed.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

So, let us pray, making our requests known to Him, with an attitude of thankfulness and gratitude.

Verse 7, above, tells us that as we do this, the peace of God will guard our hearts and minds.

And it is this that silences the noise in our heads, allowing us to more easily hear the voice of God, even in a thin, gentle whisper 🙏

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-28-25 – God’s Mysterious Nature

Greetings in the wonderful name of Jesus! 

We serve a God who is far too big and mysterious for our human minds to fully comprehend. 

And we have a new video for you today that discusses this fact. 

In the video, God’s Mysterious Nature, we teach about the mysteries of God and His word, and why we must accept that there are some things that we will never know or have answers for. 

We had fun recording this one, and we hope you enjoy it.

Please click here to watch the video now.

We hope the video brings you clarity and a fresh understanding. 

We love you all! 

Sincerely,

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-27-25

Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV) 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

As we recently celebrated Thanksgiving Day here in America, I got up early to prepare my turkey and side dishes.

After dinner I rested and ended up falling asleep. Naps after Thanksgiving dinner are the best!

When I woke up from my nap, my next door neighbors were on my heart. I felt like God wanted me to bring them over some food.

They are an older couple, in their 80’s, and I think of them frequently, especially if they have been sick or are having health complications.

But today was different. I didn’t know if they needed anything.

God literally put them on my heart. And I had a million excuses as to why I shouldn’t bring a dish over to them. But I did it anyway.

They were very grateful and couldn’t thank us enough for thinking of them on this day. God is so good! He always knows what others need.

What caught my attention the most about this was that we should never think that everyone is OK just because of what we see on the surface, or what we may know about them.

We must listen to that still small voice that speaks to our spirit.

Obey it; we can’t try to talk ourselves out of doing good things for people just because we can’t see the need from our own perspective.

Whether it’s a hot meal or just checking in on someone, whatever God puts on our hearts, we shouldn’t question it or reason it away.

Do what He is asking us to do; it touches the lives of others and shows His love through our actions. We represent Him every day we are alive. When people see our good works, they see Him!

1 Corinthians 12:27 (NKJV) 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

Who has He laid on your heart today?

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-26-25

Hebrews 3:15 (NKJV) 15 while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

We make the choice as to whether we will hear or if we will harden our hearts.

Sometimes we won’t like the thing we hear because God’s way is different than ours. That does not mean we should disobey if we don’t like His answer.

Isaiah 55:8 (NKJV) 8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.

Yes, we may get mad. We might have a fit. But we must be careful not to harden our heart in the process.

Talk to God. Let Him know how we feel. But then let Him show us. Let Him take our anger and bring understanding.

We can refuse it; it’s our choice. But if we want to walk His walk, we have to submit our life to Him; our plans, and our desires.

Don’t let hardness in; hear His voice.

What He has to say will make a difference. It may not always be right away.

But give Him time to make it beautiful.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV) 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-25 – Merry Christmas!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Regardless of your geographical location on the earth, we wanted to reach out with a personal note to extend the love of Christ to you on this Christmas day.

We have all been given an incredible gift that could never have an accurate price tag attached to it; redemption by the blood of Christ through faith in Him.

We may all be uniquely created by our God. But we have our faith in Christ in common; a bond that cannot be broken by distance.

And it is this bond that knits us together as we celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Our prayer for you is that you walk in the love and mercy of God, growing in reverence toward Him, understanding His incredible love for you, and drawing nearer to Him with each passing day.

We love you immensely, and we hope you enjoy this day of celebrating Christ’s birth.

Amen 🙏

Sincerely in Christ,

Pastor Curt & Pastor Ellie
