Verse of the Week
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.
If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!
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.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
