One Verse Devotional

"So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter." - 2 Thessalonians 2:15

This is my prayer for you: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” -Romans 15:13  

You, yes you, are a minister of Jesus.

When God calls us to go, He rarely tells us the exact destination. God wants our trust and obedience. Just Go… and let God show you the way!

The greatest “wealth” we can achieve is growing deeper in our relationship with Jesus and being content with the blessing He has given us.

The closer we get to Jesus, the more we will live according to our gifts, passions, and purpose in this world!

A simple reminder: Jesus is the TOTAL fullness of God in human form. We serve a MIGHTY and POWERFUL Savior!

As followers of Jesus, we can run, yet not grow weary. We can soar with wings like eagles. But we need to learn how to trust and place our hope in God. Pro tip: It doesn’t come naturally!

One aspect of being a follower of Jesus is that we are supposed to share our faith. This is the one thing that freaks most Christians out! Always be prepared to give an answer. That is what we learn in our One Verse today. But what does that really mean? Do we have to prepared to answer everything about the Bible? That's our topic on today's podcast.

The negative talk in our culture is becoming unbearable. But if it’s going to change, it has to start with us.

As Christians, we are called a family for a reason. We aren’t called to guilt or shame others, but to come alongside them and encourage them in love and good deeds.

We are called to accept others. Those in the Church. Those outside of the Church. When will the Church get serious about this command?

The disciples ask Jesus for a sign that they should follow Him. (BTW, this was AFTER Jesus fed the 5,000 and walked on water!) They “remind” Jesus that God sent Moses bread from heaven as a sign. Jesus uses their own illustration and teaches us an important lesson: He is the Bread of Life and the closer we grow to Him, the more fulfilled we will be.

A prayer for your week: “Show me your ways, Lord. Teach me your paths.” -Psalm 25:4

Is life weighing you down? When we feel weary and burdened, Jesus invites us to come to Him and He promises to give us rest.

Even in the midst of storms in our lives, even when we don’t understand or can’t explain the storm, nothing is too hard for God.

Do we grasp how wide and long and high and deep God’s love is for us?

Through His Spirit, God will give us power to live out our purpose in this world and to love others.

My prayer for you is that you would be strengthened today with the power of God through His Spirit. Through God’s glorious riches, He will strengthen us and give us His power. It is so easy to get caught up in the small details of life and forget that we serve a God who needs nothing. He has everything. And from those riches, He blesses us and provides for us! Through His Spirit, God will comfort us and give us power to live out our purpose in this world and to love others. I pray this for you today. May you be strengthened by His Spirit!

In the Old Testament, only the High Priest could come into the Presence of God, and it was just one time per year. Now, God allows us to encounter His presence whenever we choose. Do NOT take prayer for granted. It is one of the greatest gifts that God has given us.
