I read the Bible every single morning.... with my husband. We ask the Holy Spirit what book to read. We take turns asking. I don't want to start the day without the Word and Jesus Christ ~ my Shepherd.

The timing of this sermon is uncanny. Lord Jesus, I praise you for using Pastor Craig to bring me closer to you.

October 1st marked 3 years and 9 months alcohol free. It was when I turned it completely over to God that He guided me to what He knew I needed to help me. I share my story publicly in hopes of encouraging others. This Thursday I will give my testimony at Celebrate Recovery at our church. For so many years I had no relationship with God and now I am so thankful to have Him in my life. I see now that all those years I had turned my back on Him, He never turned His back on me.

[corinasiebert]

A friend of mine suggested we read the Bible together. Turned out to be a wonderful experience. Accountability and growing in Gods word. We misunderstand God our father without this knowledge! The best time I ever invested. Praise God for being enlightened to your word through your servant Andy.

[hadassah_redeemed]

I will study the word every day this week! I needed this right now so badly. I was an addict and I've been clean 6 years. I have been trying to really connect with God through his word. I'm doing it now. I'm surrendering my life to Jesus. I'm committing to Him now!

[indiesoulnaomi]

I can’t even describe how much of a blessing that this video popped up into my suggestions as I was literally thinking of how to better read my Bible. I was just baptized this week and I need more of his word in me and this is the beginning of a beautiful journey, God bless church family.

[kmshelton]

I will study the Word of God every day this week! Great message! Thank you!

[RebeccaHughes]

I will study the word every day this week! I do plans on the youversion app. I was going thru some tough warfare, threw away my old bible which was a niv version. I was formerly opening up doors to demonic things(horoscopes, living in sin, addiction), full of vanity, depressed, feeling alone, but NOW I have felt the presence of God, I feel his love for me and I have heard him call my name! I have rededicated my life to him and I thank him for his mercy and grace everyday! Hallelujah 🙏🏼❤️

[PutridFlow]

I will study your word every day this week, in Jesus' name, Amen.

[christianharbin]

I will study the Word of God everyday this week. Blessings to you, Pastor Groeschel, and to your ministry!! God is great!!
