Bible Verse of the Day: Scripture quotes to inspire your faith in God today.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on this Friday and I hope the day finds you well. I hope you are blessed and I hope this reading blesses you from Galatians chapter 5, verses 22 and 23 by contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, Joy, peace, patients kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. Paul has blessed us with two lists. I’ve read the ladder. The former gives the thing he’s contrasting it with the way that we used to live versus the fruit that comes from the way we live now notice at singular fruit of the spirit because it’s not like we try to live each of these individual things. It’s when we have the spirit in our life these things come out of us, and there’s more there are more things than just what’s on this list. This is a kinds of things that are embodied when we talk about the fruit of the spirit that we embody for the world around us that becomes a part of our heart our soul or mine or strength or relationships are focus. Our goals are ambition, so maybe we recognize the fruit and each other today and May with praise God for the spirit that brings it.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you with the reading of the word and may the spirit move in this reading and you’re listening and you’re contemplating as we turned the gospel we called John chapter 5 verse 24. very truly, I tell you anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come under judgment, but has passed from death to life Very truly when we see that we know to pay attention in the gospel we call John Jesus is talking about this awakening that we have because all of us at one point in our life we were breathing, but we were dead. We were walking around pursuing things that don’t really feed us. They don’t really matter they’re not the truth and then we had an awakening. We had the gift of faith that came to us and many different forms in our life changed forever. We began to live life with God, eternal life, which has a much different quality to it. It’s good for us to remember the simple truth that we have passed from death to life in the way that we have believed in God Weston Christ, let our lives reflect this new life this new living let it reflect this truth we have.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you today with a verse from our scripture make it finds you well today we’re going to read from the letter to the church in Rome chapter 6 verse 23 for the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord This verse from Paul is speaking to a group of people trying to sort it all out of people divided trying to understand exactly what has happened. What does the cross mean and sometimes we can get so wrapped up in and what do the soul means about our actual death and what happens after but I think Paul speaking to something bigger that transcends just that time and reaches all the way back to a moment right now. When we give ourselves over to a sinful life -- when our life is oriented about anything other than living as God calls us to live -- we live a dead life, but we get this eternal life, this life with God life in Christ Jesus right now, as a part of the kingdom life as a part of all that it is to be a part of the church, and be a part of faith at work with the spirit and so let us celebrate the free gift of God today.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. Iamb Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you with a bit from our word or scripture and I hope the spirit works in it today for everything you need. We’re going to read from Hebrews 13 five keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have for he himself has said I will never leave you or for sake you Owe money, money, money we have such a interesting relationship of money. Don’t think we need it because our culture our society is based off of it. You have to eat and pay bills and take care of things and prepare for retirement and all sorts of things that work in our economy. Money is not the issue. It’s the love of money we are to be free from the love of money when you love something you devote yourself to it you sacrifice of yourself for it and while we need to make it sometimes we just need to trust that God is involved that God will help us get what we need and sometimes I have to ask myself if all goes wrong today what’s the worst case scenario and when we’re a part of the church more part of a loving family, the worst case is still not that bad, so let us be content with what we have, and trust in God.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on February 3 and we’re going to read from the letter written to the church of Ephesus Ephesians chapter 2 verses eight and nine and they read for by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing. It is the gift of God not the result of works, so that no one may boast, all Paul is touching on something that we all need to remember today because sometimes we start to think that faith has to do with what we do what we believe how we act what we do or don’t say, and while those can certainly bring good or bad circumstances and consequences. It’s good for us to remember that this faith that we have it was a gift. None of us earned it we didn’t struggle and find our way to it all on our own. It was given to us all that we have come to know, all that we are was simply by the love and the grace of God, and so pause, reminding them quit posting, quit comparing what you’re doing and not doing to other people and the things that they aren’t doing or are doing this is not about you this is about This is about the love of God revealed to us in Christ; what a gift!

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on February 1, 2023. We’re going to hear from the book of Deuteronomy chapter 31 verse six and it reads be strong and bold. Have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord, your God, who goes with you he will not fail you or forsake you. This verse is addressing the Israelites, getting ready to enter the land of Canaan. They’ve been journeying for well over a generation learning how to be the people of God, a treasured possession, a kingdom of priests, and they’re going to go into a new land with a whole new set of challenges, and they are going to struggle to remember who they are and what they’ve seen we can identify with this we’ve gone into new areas in our life we’ve moved we start a new job new church we’ve just entered into new circumstances and especially if you’ve been called by God you were going to go into new and scary circumstances at times we are to remember who we are where to remember what we’ve seen what it is we have come to know when to remember whom we serve, and who walks with us every step of the way let us have no fear.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on Monday, January 30. We’re going to read from Philippians chapter 4 verse eight and it reads finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is honorable whatever is just whatever is pure whatever is pleasing, whatever is commendable if there’s any excellence, and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things Pause, addressing a church in turmoil, I mean, when is it not right and they can get focused on the wrong things in and be tearing themselves down and then just be distracted and how many of us can identify with that in our friend groups, or in our families or in our job or workplace or in our churches, Paul saying you could focus on all the things that are going wrong, but is that really gonna help? Is it really going to move you forward? Is that gonna bring you in deeper relationship with God or with one another he says no turn to the things that are worthy of our attention that are worthy of praise the things that are true and honorable, just pure, pleasing and commendable. Let us focus on excellence and let us be the people that are moving forward.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on Friday, January 27 and we’re going to read from the gospel account. We call Matthew chapter 6 verse 33 and it reads but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. All of these things Jesus is talking about in the sermon on the mount is the things that we worry about from day today what we will eat and what we will wear and we can add 100 other things to that every single day. I couldn’t wait if we’re honest but what Jesus is saying is all these things you think you want they’re going to lead you astray they don’t deliver if you seek God first in the kingdom, the activity and influence of God present on earth in God‘s people, if you seek the truth, the true life available to all of us right here, and now, and seek God‘s righteousness, which righteousness is another way to say justice, I mean, if we can have the kind of relationship with God where we see things correctly, we treat God correctly treat ourselves correctly treat others correctly, then our priorities all start to change and if we’re treating everybody correctly, well, it stands to reason we’re gonna have everything we need anyway.
