John 10:27-29 NLT My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me,  for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. #promises #eternallife #alwaysinGodshand

Its Friday...so a bit of wisdom from to chew on... Proverbs 29:1 NLT Whoever stubbornly refuses to accept criticism will suddenly be destroyed beyond recovery. This proverb really challenges my inherent bias towards thinking i am always right...what wisdom/advice/criticism am i simply not acting on? #paystolisten #proverbs #wisdom

Ephesians 1:5 NLT God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. God has adopted you and me into His family...because 1. He WANTED to. He wants us in his family. Love that. 2. It gives God great pleasure! God loves it that we are in his whanau. It's not obligation, guilt, something he has to do...it's love. #wow #dearlyloved

Ephesians 1:5 NLT God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ... Maybe you are part of a great family, or maybe not...but all of us can be adopted into God's family...a place of grace, forgiveness, love, & hope... #chosen #adopted #Godsfamily #wearebrothersandsisters #howcoolisthat

Ephesians 1:4 NLT Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. In Jesus we are without fault. God now sees us as holy. Wow. No matter who you are. Loved. Chosen. No matter what you've done. Without fault. Holy. That's the gospel right there...the good news...:) #goodnews

Ephesians 1:4 NLT Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us... Hello. Even before he made the world God knew you, pictured you, and loved you...before any of this existed. That is so hard to comprehend...but...this is our God :) #chosen #dearlyloved

Isaiah 58:13-14 MSG “If you watch your step on the Sabbath and don’t use my holy day for personal advantage, If you treat the Sabbath as a day of joy, God ’s holy day as a celebration, If you honor it by refusing ‘business as usual,’ making money, running here and there— Then you’ll be free to enjoy God ! Oh, I’ll make you ride high and soar above it all. I’ll make you feast on the inheritance of your ancestor Jacob.” Yes! God says so! #favepromises #thanksliam

Job 1:20-22 NLT Job stood up and tore his robe in grief...In all of this, Job did not sin by blaming God. When really bad things happened in Job's life he did despair...sometimes the gravitational pull of life, events, loss, disaster, pull us down...but Job never blamed God...can i say the same? #expectations #lift #verseofthedayislatecosweareonholiday

2 Corinthians 12:8-9 NLT ...Each time he said, “My grace is all you need... God's grace is all you need. That was his promise to Paul, and its his promise to us. No matter what you are facing or going through, or whether things are going swimmingly well...His grace is all we need...wow... #grace #yourgraceisenough #promises

I was at work yesterday and this verse reference was tattooed on someones arm... Luke 6:37. Luke 6:37 NLT “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven. #verseoftheday #tattoo

Romans 10:9 NLT If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. #saved #promises #JesusisLord

Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” It can be scary when we face new or challenging things in life...this was Moses charge to Joshua...God is the same today as yesterday...and will be the same tomorrow...going ahead, always on your side :) #nofear

Take down these plans I've made on my own I humble myself before your throne Flood through my heart Breathe into my soul Rush into me and make me whole Parachute Band We sang this song at church last night and sometimes its easy to sing about it...not always so easy on Monday to ask God to take our plans...to offer them back to God... Or maybe today you just need Him to breathe into your soul today...LIFT your hands today to the one who gave it all for you and me...the one who made a way #lift #breatheintomysoul

John 14:27 NLT “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid. #promises #peace #nothingtofear

Isaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary... Do you know what feeling weary is like? Turn your eyes back to God...look for real strength there... #Godspromises #strengthfortheweary

Matthew 11:28-29 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Feeling weary? Burdened? #Godspromises #getyokedwithJesus #wordsofJesus

I Samuel 2:30 NKJV ...for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed. Nothing we do for God goes unnoticed by him. #promises #thanksryan

Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.  Because it's showing that we can trust God to teach us how to live and where to go in order to honor Him most! It's a comfort when nothing in life makes sense that God knows what's up and will guide us through :-D

This was the first verseoftheday from one year ago. God's Word is just as relevant and powerful in 1 year, 10 years, 1000 years... You are dearly loved. Philippians 4:6-7 NLT Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 1:24-25 NLT <24 > As the Scriptures say, "People are like grass; their beauty is like a flower in the field. The grass withers and the flower fades.  <25 > But the word of the Lord remains forever." And that word is the Good News that was preached to you. Words of The Lord are greater than words of men. No matter what you are facing today...its good to remember what is permanent and what is only temporary... #Godspromises #thanksEmily

Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever, His faithfulness continues through all generations. The promise that God will never stop loving us is quite extraordinary; we have done nothing to deserve this love and yet He loves us all unconditionally. Even though this verse was written such a long time ago it applies to/includes us- we are a generation and Gods promises are for us and all who are to come. I am reminded of a line in my favourite song at the moment 'Oceans' which says- You have never failed us and you won't start now. It is awesome to think of all of the ways God has been faithful throughout history and to realise that this is the same God who loves you and me. What an honour and privilege it is to call Him MY GOD! :) #Godspromises #thanksLaceygreatpreaching0

Romans 8:38-39 NLT And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. #favepromises #thanksmatt

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him. Psalm 103:11 I love how this verse gives a metaphor for how limitless God's love is for us:-) #promises #limitless #thankslisa

Hebrews 13:5 NIV “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” God's promises...do you have a favourite? Then txt the verse (& why u love it if u want) back to whoever you get this from and we will share your fave promises #promises #verseoftheday

Our (ex) Pastor, Rog, talked about his burnout / hit-the-wall / depression & 3 things that helped him #1 remember Gods.promises #2 remember when God has worked in your life and #3. How important it is to let 2-3 people in ur life who u trust who will support you. If u r that support person be prepared for the long haul, turn up unannounced sometimes, dont put pressure on to talk, just be there, do things with that person in their area of interest...and listen when they want to talk. Be Jesus hands to bind up the broken hearted. Psalm 147:3 NIV He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. #sermoninatext #lovepeople #weallhavewounds

When the darkness rolls in like the tide...when you are broken hearted... #1 Remember Gods Promises #2. Do i really believe that God is real? Remember the times that God worked in my life. When, sometimes we only see it by looking back, that Gods fingerprints were everywhere. Remember when He spoke,acted, saved...cos He is still there even when we dont feel it #3tomorrow

Isaiah 61:1 NIV ...He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted... This is what Jesus came to do. If you are brokenhearted today, 3 things our Pastor talked about last night. #1. Remember God's promises... Ps 34:18 Heb 13:5 #xroadsnightchurch #thanksrog #Godspromisesaretrue #sometimesweallneedbindingup

Psalm 57:9-11 NIV I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. Ps 57 starts with David running and hiding, crying out to God for rescue, but comes back to glorifying God, making Him known to others. Today...may we exalt God, give him the honour He deserves :) #sunday #Godisfaithful #Hisloveisgreat

Psalms 57:7-8 NIV My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. Awake, my soul! Awake, harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. Maybe David had been up all night...maybe he just had an early start, but seemed to be waiting on the sunrise to refocus on God. Make some music to God. Awake your soul towards God. Not all of us make music, but we all do something that stirs our soul and orients us towards God. What do you do? #beststeadfast #awakemysoul

Psalm 57:7 NIV My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music. Last night i was driving home and sung out LOUD (its ok i was on my own) When u sing out loud words like "God is able He is on my side"  then it really sinks in. When our hearts are steadfast in the midst of difficulty...sing and make music! To help make you steadfast...sing and make music! #singoutloud #powerofmusic
