Bible Verse of The Day – 4-5-22

John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

The Holy Spirit planted God’s seed in a virgin. Her name was Mary.

The seed grew, and when the time was right, a baby was born. The child that was born was named Jesus; God in the flesh, the Savior of the world.

He lived among us, and carried out His everyday activities. He grew up and entered into His work doing only the will of His heavenly Father.

John 5:30 (NKJV) 30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

They had purposed to save the lost; Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth, Who is willing to forgive us and show us how to make things right with the Father.

If we are struggling today with sin in our lives, we need to trust in Him, ask Him for forgiveness and let Him help us to get on the right track as we follow Him.

We are not alone in this world. God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit (our Helper), are here to help us every day. They will stand by us.

It is amazing how well God’s plan of salvation is laid out for us if we will call upon the name of Jesus and take His hand.

Trust Him today, and follow Him.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-8-22

Luke 2:11 (NKJV) 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

As we recently approached Christmas, I began to wonder what it might have been like if this had happened in our day. Our Savior being born, living in our midst.

Can we even imagine if He walked past our house?

Husband: “Who is that walking down the street?”

Wife: “Oh, that’s Jesus! He’s running an errand for his Dad, Joseph.”

I would want to follow Him and watch His every move. I would want to be His best friend! I would want to hear Him speak and listen to what He would have to say.

And that is exactly what He wants for us, even in this day and age.

He is alive and with us daily. Just not in that way.

He wants us to follow Him by reading His word. And He wants to be a very close friend to us; One we can trust with everything.

We may not be able to walk down the street with Him physically, but in our hearts. He goes everywhere we go.

Proverbs 18:24 (NKJV) 24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

He is our friend, and He sticks closer than a brother. He is born to us, our Savior, who is Christ our Lord.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-20

2 Corinthians 13:14 (NKJV) 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Today is the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

It is a sacred celebration whereby we give honor to the One who saved us from our sins when we put our faith in Him.

We may celebrate it with varying levels of fanfare, or maybe even in different ways. And the day itself is not what we celebrate, but our Savior, Jesus, who gave His all for us.

So, we urge you to enjoy the day. Take joy in what it means, what it signifies and how Jesus has saved you, changed you and made your life worth living, no matter what you have faced or might be facing now.

We love you all.

And may grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion (fellowship) of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

Enjoy your day!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-19

Luke 2:11 (NKJV) 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Sometimes I ponder on this verse and what actually happened that night, so very long ago.

The depth of it is mind-boggling. But it is a reality nonetheless.

And that reality stares us in the face each and every day; that God came to earth in the form of a man, and walked among us, ultimately dying in our place to atone for our sins. Your sins, and my sins.

Sometimes I get frustrated with the way this event gets celebrated. It has been exploited by manufacturers and retailers to a great degree because they all know that people give gifts to celebrate this event, even if they don’t necessarily follow Christ.

But I try to overlook the blatant commercialism and, instead, look at the massive gift that was given on that holy night.

It is a gift that has eternal ramifications. It is a gift that radically changes lives. It is a gift that has the power to break the back of sin in our lives. And it is a gift that removes the sting of death in the lives of believers.

Many people like to say that we give gifts because the three men who had traveled from afar gave Jesus gifts that night. And that is true. They did give Jesus some incredibly valuable gifts. He was, after all, their newborn King.

But I prefer to look at the gift that was offered to each and every one of us, in the form of a child, a baby who came to offer Himself, that we might have the opportunity to know God one-on-one here on earth, and then spend eternity with Him when our time here is through.

Enjoy your day today, and remember the true reason for the celebration.

We love you all.

Sincerely,

Pastor Curt & Pastor Ellie

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-22-19 – The Perfect Plan

Please click to watch the vdieo now.Greetings in the precious name of our savior, Jesus Christ. 

As we approach Christmas day, we wanted to share a video with you that we hope will add more meaning to the birth of Jesus in your lives, and will draw you even closer to God. 

Our newest video, The Perfect Plan, is now live and ready for you to watch. 

This video is a bit different than many of our others. In it, we ask the question, “why did Jesus have to be born as a baby? Why couldn’t He have just shown up?”. 

We hope you’ll take the time to watch it and hear what we discuss pertaining to this!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-18

Luke 2:11 (NKJV) 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 

Today, December 25, we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. 

While this date is more than likely not the actual birth date of Jesus, it is the day that has been set aside to commemorate His birth and celebrate the day that the Light of the world stepped down out of heaven and took up residence here with us in an earth suit… a human body. 

Immanuel, God with us. 

Matthew 1:23 (NKJV) 23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” 

It’s important that we understand the significance of that phrase, “God with us”. For it seems that most times it is very overlooked. 

Many might simply say it means God is with us. But in reality, it more accurately means God, with us. 

To say that God is with us is a more ambiguous statement that means God is with us in a general sense. 

But to fully understand this, we will know that those three words point directly to Jesus and state boldly, “This is Jesus, God with us”. 

And this is why we celebrate! 

God chose to come to earth and dwell among us in the person of Jesus Christ, not acting as a King to be served, but to be made a little lower than the angels and become a servant to all. 

Hebrews 2:9 (NKJV) 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. 

So, join us today in celebrating the birth of our Savior and King, Jesus Christ, Lord of all. God, with us. 

Amen!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-17

Luke 2:11 (NKJV) 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

God is good! We all have a lot to celebrate and be thankful for. But the most important and greatest gift of all is the gift that was freely given to us from our Heavenly Father.

God gave us His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Through His sacrifice on the cross, those that believe and receive Him are set free. When their earthly body dies, their soul lives on in heaven, with their heavenly Father and His Son.

It doesn’t matter who we are or what position we might hold. It doesn’t matter what kind of success we have. It doesn’t matter what nationality or skin color we are. It doesn’t matter if we are rich or poor. It doesn’t matter if we are a thief, a lawyer, or a doctor, etc. It doesn’t even matter how old or young we are.

If we have put our faith and trust in that name, Jesus Christ, and we ask Him to forgive us of our sins, and we receive Him as our Savior, we become His child!

John 1:12 (NKJV) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name…

This Man, Jesus Christ, came to save us.

Merry Christmas!!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-25-14

John 3:17 (NKJV) 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Jesus, the Messiah.

He came to earth and walked among us. Immanuel, God with us, came not to condemn us, but to save us from our sin.

It is through His life, death and resurrection that God offers us freedom from sin and death.

It is through His life, death and resurrection that God builds a bridge to close the gap between sinful man and a holy God.

So as we celebrate His birth today, do so knowing that Jesus, the Christ, was the ultimate expression of love and forgiveness. No greater love was known before, nor has greater love existed since.

And on this Christmas day, we pray God’s peace and His mightiest blessings over you and your loved ones.

And may God’s joy fill your home.
