The Character of God As we continue our journey through Scripture, we are discovering the God who has revealed Himself to us and who desires to be known by us. Before we can truly follow God, obey Him, or enjoy a relationship with Him, we must first know who He is. Thankfully, He has not left us to wonder. He has revealed Himself through creation, which declares His glory, and through His Word, where His character is made known. Thus far, our memory verses have introduced us

A Vision of God's Holiness In his vision, Isaiah saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and lifted up, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: with two they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. They called out to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!"(Isaiah 6:3) Isaiah continues by describing the overwhelming majesty of God's p

Psalm 23 - The Lord is My Shepherd As we continue our Scripture Memory Challenge, we have already begun to see some of the beautiful characteristics of our Lord. In Genesis 1:1, we met Him as the Creator of the heavens and the earth. In John 1:1, we learned that Jesus existed from the beginning, was with God, and is God. In John 1:14, we saw that the eternal Word became flesh and dwelt among us, revealing the glory of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. The

The Majesty of God Have you ever looked up at a clear night sky filled with stars or watched a beautiful sunrise and simply stood in awe? That is exactly where Psalm 19 begins. God has made Himself known through His creation. The heavens, the sky, the sun, the mountains, and every part of nature declare His glory. Each day and every night, creation points us to its magnificent Creator. Theologians refer to this as general revelation because God reveals Himself through the wor

The Word Becomes Flesh The greatest demonstration of God's love is found in this one verse. The eternal Word, Jesus Christ, stepped into our world and became fully human without ceasing to be fully God. What an incredible truth to hide in our hearts! Jesus didn't remain distant from us. He entered our broken world, took on human flesh, and lived among us. He experienced hunger, weariness, sorrow, rejection, temptation, and suffering. He understands our joys and our struggles

The Eternal Word John opens his gospel with the opening words of Genesis 1:1, last week's memory verse: "In the beginning..." Here, John intentionally echoes the opening words of Genesis to prompt us to think back to creation itself. John goes on to establish that "the Word" was present in the beginning. Before the world existed, before time began, before anything was created, "the Word" was already there. Later in chapter 1, especially in verse 14 (next week's memory verse),

Genesis 1:1 The Bible begins with four powerful words: "In the beginning, God." Before there was anything, there was God. Before the first sunrise, the first breath, or the first heartbeat, God already existed in perfect power, wisdom, and glory. ​ Genesis 1:1 reminds us that life is not an accident and history is not random. The God who created the universe is the same God who knows your name, hears your prayers, and directs your steps. ​ When life feels chaotic, uncertain,
