Hope In God’s Word!

February 5, 2026

Life can place heavy burdens on our hearts. Worry, fear, discouragement, and sorrow can cause us to feel weighed down and overwhelmed. God understands this heaviness, and His Word acknowledges it plainly.

Yet this verse also gives us hope. A kind word, a word of encouragement, or a word spoken in love can lift a heavy heart. God often uses His Word — and His people — to bring comfort and joy to those who are hurting.

When our hearts feel heavy, we can turn to the promises of Scripture and allow God’s truth to strengthen us. And as believers, we are reminded to speak good words to others, knowing that even a small act of encouragement can bring gladness to a weary soul.

God Is At Work!

February 4, 2026

A new day is another opportunity to place everything in God’s hands. January often brings plans, goals, and uncertainties, but the Lord asks us to commit our way to Him first. Commitment means surrender — trusting that God sees what we cannot and knows the best path forward.

When we truly trust the Lord, we can rest, knowing He is already at work behind the scenes. He will bring to pass what is according to His will and for His glory. Our responsibility is faithfulness; God’s responsibility is the outcome.

Begin today by committing your plans, concerns, and hopes to the Lord. Walk forward in trust, and let God handle the results.

SOS Events Training

February 2, 2026

On Saturday 6 people came to Bloomingdale Baptist Church to be trained to witness at events with SOS Events.

Brenda(standing) and her husband were the Trainers and did a wonderful job.

Training is important. It helps people overcome doubts and fear of witnessing.

There is opportunity for anyone who would like to have this boldness by requesting training with SOS.

In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Ephesians 3:12

This psalm reminds us that worship is not a duty to endure, but a joy to embrace.

There is gladness in gathering with God’s people, lifting our hearts together, and entering His presence with expectation.

Our church is a place of encouragement, teaching, prayer, and praise—where burdens are shared and faith is strengthened. On this Lord’s Day, may our hearts echo that same glad response, rejoicing in the privilege of worshiping God together and honoring Him with our presence.

The Answer!

January 31, 2026

There is an answer. It is found in the Bible. 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Are You A Doer?

January 30, 2026

God’s Word was never meant to stop at our ears—it is meant to shape our lives. James reminds us that hearing Scripture without obeying it can lead to self-deception. True faith is revealed not only by what we know, but by how we live.

When we act on God’s Word, we show our love for Him and our trust in His wisdom. Obedience turns belief into action and truth into testimony. Today, ask the Lord to help you not only hear His Word, but to live it out in your daily walk.

Too Busy?

January 28, 2026
1 Corinthians 3:12-15
Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest:for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss:but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

“We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.” ~R.A. Torrey

Most Christians fall into this category today, unfortunately. In our churches we see very few conversions, in ministry there are few people that are willing to spend even three or four hours a week or even a month to go to the marketplace to witness to the lost.
Someday we will be judged for what we have done for The Lord. 

Will we hear “Well done” or will our works be counted as wood hay and stubble and be cast into the fire?
When we stand before Him, will our excuse be, “I was too busy”?

With God Nothing Is Impossible

January 27, 2026

No matter what challenges you are facing today, remember the God we serve is all-powerful. He is the Creator of all, and nothing is too difficult for Him. When doubts and fears arise, turn to the Lord who asks, “Is there anything too hard for Me?”

Trust in His mighty power and have faith that He can make a way where there seems to be no way.

With God, all things are possible.
