Every good and perfect gift comes from above. (James 1:17)
And because God so loved the world, (John 3:16)
He sent His Son to redeem us all so that we can receive adoption to sonship. (Gal. 4:4-5)
So the Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. (John 1:14)
Our Savior was born in the town of David. He is the Messiah, the Lord. (Luke 2:11)
He is called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, (Isa. 9:6)
The Lamb of God Who took away the sins of the world. (John 1:29)
Yes, God saved us all because of His mercy. (Titus 3:4-6)
Therefore, we rejoice and have joy and exultant delight over His birth. (Luke 1:14)

Lord, help us have Your perspective on all things. Let us not forget Your selfless and loving act in sending Your Son to redeem us all.

May our desire for You burn brightly. Help us grow in our relationship with You so there is no distinguishing where we end and You begin.

We love You, Lord. Fill our hearts and homes with gladness, in...

There is so much to be thankful for. The Lord’s blessings are more abundant than the stars in the sky, and His faithfulness endures from generation to generation. (Ps. 41:13, 90:2; 1 Chron. 29:10)

He is the Author and Finisher of our faith (Heb. 12:2), the Creator of all things (Isa. 40:28), and the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End (Rev. 1:8). He alone is high and lifted up (Isa. 6:1-4), reigning forever in majesty and glory (Ex. 15:18; Ps. 93:1-2, 146:10; Gal. 1:5)

Today, we pause to remember all He has done — in our lives, our families, our nation, and the world.
Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy, grace, and the immeasurable gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

May we always hold dear Your goodness and love, and help us to share Your love and goodness with everyone we meet. Help us live in a way that brings honor and glory to You always.

To our precious Ministry Partners, we thank God for you. We pray His blessings, peace (Phil. 4:7), and the joy of the Lord (Neh. 8:10) ...

Each year on this day, we honor all men and women who served in the military of these great United States of America.

Thank you for your selfless, humble, and loyal service to our great nation! May the joy of the Lord and peace that passes all understanding strengthen and refresh you every day. (Neh. 8:10; Phil. 4:7)

January 16, 2026-WHAT IS FAITH?

Teaching Scriptures:
Heb. 11:1, 3, 6
Mark 4:1-20
Eph. 2:8
Rom. 12:3
Rom. 10:17
Rom. 1:17

Faith is trusting in God's Word no matter what the circumstances around you say.

Faith will tell you that "By Jesus’ stripes you're healed."(Isa. 53:5 & 1 Peter 2:24)

God's Word and His report will destroy any negative doctor's report.

God's Word is spirit and life.

God is trying to get His children's attention because something big is about to happen, but do not fear. Listen to God. Be in His Word. Spend time with Him every day.

You are redeemed from the curse.

Use the authority that God has given to you.

God doesn't put sickness on people—He is the healer.

What is bound on Earth is bound in Heaven. (Matt. 16:19)

You are a new creation because of faith by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

You create with your words too-good or bad. There's power in your words. “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” (Prov. 18:21)

In order ...

Sometimes we can’t even begin to understand the ways of God, and sometimes it shakes our faith to the core, yet our heavenly hindsight speaks of His faithfulness, speaks of His goodness and we know, without a doubt, He is trustworthy no matter how much chaos is swirling around us.
