JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Faith-Building Verse is John 5:36.
Jesus said, “I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to finish-the very works that I am doing-testify that the Father has sent me.”
The ministry of Jesus was a demonstration of miracles that confirmed His identity as the Messiah. In John 10:25, Jesus said “The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for me.”
His redemptive mission was accomplished for us at the cross and the empty grave, when He died and rose again three days later.
This faith-building verse inspires us to trust Jesus as our Savior, based on His miraculous love for us in the Year of Relationship.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Faith-Building Verse is Psalm 138:8.
David wrote, “The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever-do not abandon the works of your hands.”
The good News of Jesus fills our lives with purpose.
God has uniquely created us to be in relationship with Him and to grow in His grace so that we might reflect His glory. God can take our ambitions and abilities and then open doors for us to serve Him in productive ways. He took David’s background as a shepherd boy and prepared him to become the king of Israel. God also has an important purpose for us.
Ephesians 2:10 says to followers of Jesus, “We are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
This Faith-Building Verse inspires us to go on mission with God and and live out His purpose for us in the Year of Relationship.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Faith-Building Verse is Ephesians 5:1.
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children, and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
The good news of Jesus fills our lives with love for God and for all kinds of people.
God’s love enables us to walk in love so that we can enjoy a meaningful relationship with Him and with those people that God brings into our lives. This is how we know that God’s love is having an impact on our lives-when we share His love with others simply because we care about them, and we know that God loves them too.
Hebrews 13:6 reminds us, “Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
This faith-building verse inspires us to walk in the way of God’s love in the Year of Relationship.

Key Element for Thriving Relationships-Compassion
john : March 16, 2022 3:32 pm : John Shirk, Staff PagesJOHN SHIRK – Today’s Key Element for Thriving Relationships is Compassion.
In Matthew 14:13, Jesus withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
Jesus was seeking a quiet place to retreat for a period of time. It is quite likely that He was seeking some private moments in prayer. Jesus often went to lonely places to pray.
In this case, however, a large crowd found him, and came to him with their sickness and brokenness. These are the conditions that touch the heart of God because He is compassionate. This is how we can make the world a better place for others-when compassion moves us to action. There is healing and vibrant ministry that takes place when we reach out to others with the love of God.
Compassion is a key element for thriving relationships that honor God.

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Faith-Building Verses are First John 1:2 to 4.
“The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us. We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We write this to make our joy complete.”
One of the compelling evidences of the Christian faith is the witness of those disciples who walked and talked with Jesus. Before Jesus died on a cross, Peter denied Jesus. Before seeing the nail scars, Thomas doubted Jesus. The Disciples deserted Jesus at the sight of His arrest. But after they were witnesses of His resurrection, they went forward in faith with a fresh new boldness to proclaim the good news of God’s love. As they shared the Gospel, the church grew in size and spread throughout the world.
These faith-building verses inspire us to be bold and credible witnesses for Jesus in the Year of Relationship.
