Have you ever had someone speak something over your life that stayed with you for years? Sometimes those words encourage us, but other times we allow what someone said to shape how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. In THIS SERVICE, we’re both sharing messages about the power of God’s Word to change what seems impossible. Julie teaches from Luke 1 about Elizabeth, a woman who had been known as barren for years. But what others saw as a permanent condition wasn’t the end of her story. Aaron shares how one word from God can change the direction of a person’s life and why we must learn to give His Word greater authority than the opinions and circumstances around us. We believe these messages will encourage you, especially if you’ve been facing something for so long that you’ve started accepting it as part of who you are. Here’s something we’d encourage you to do after watching: Take a few minutes and consider whether there’s something you’ve been believing about yourself or your future that doesn’t agree with Scripture. Find a passage that speaks the truth about that area, write it down, and begin reminding yourself of what God says instead. Don’t allow someone else’s words or your present circumstances to define what God can do in your life. His Word deserves the final say! ❤️

There are moments when what we need most is not another answer or another strategy. We need to get into the presence of God. In this service, Julie talks about the Tent of Meeting and what it teaches us about having a place where we meet with God. His presence is where we find healing, protection, direction, and everything we need. Aaron takes us into 2 Kings 4 and the story of the Shunammite woman. She had received a miracle from God, only to watch what she had been given suddenly die. But she refused to accept that what she saw was the end of the story. She went after the man of God and would not be moved from what she believed. There is a connection between these two messages that we want you to catch. When life gives you a reason to pull away, that is not the time to distance yourself from God. It is the time to press further into His presence. As you go through THIS SERVICE, pay attention to what the Lord brings to your heart. Then sometime this week, set aside a specific block of time to get alone with Him. No agenda and no rushing. Bring whatever you are carrying into His presence and stay there long enough to listen. Don’t leave the Tent of Meeting carrying something He wants you to leave with Him.

Today, we want to take a moment to honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. To every veteran in our Impact family, thank you for your service! We are grateful for the sacrifices you and your families have made, the time you’ve given, and the commitment you’ve shown in serving our country. We know that military service often comes with sacrifices that many people never see or fully understand. Today, we want you to know that your service is appreciated and that we are thankful for you. Galatians 6:2 reminds us to “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” As we recognize Veterans Day, we’d like to encourage our Impact family to do something intentional. If you know a veteran, take a few minutes to reach out, thank them personally, and let them know you’re praying for them. Sometimes a simple expression of gratitude can mean more than we realize. We’re also praying today for our veterans and their families, asking the Lord to strengthen them, fill their homes with His peace, and bless them in every area of their lives. To all who have served, we honor you and thank God for you! ❤️ Aaron & Julie

There’s a moment in Matthew 17 that should challenge every believer. A desperate father brought his son to the disciples, but they couldn’t help him. Then Jesus stepped in and said, “Bring him here to Me.” The boy was set free. In this devotional video, Esther uses that moment to ask an important question about the Gospel we carry. When hurting, broken, or desperate people cross our paths, do we have something to give them? Those same disciples would later look very different. After being filled with the Holy Spirit, Peter could stand in front of a man who had been crippled for decades and say, “What I do have I give to you.” The disciples who once couldn’t help became people who turned the world upside down. The Gospel was never intended to be something we only explain. Paul said it came “not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit.” Here’s something to do after THIS TEACHING: read Matthew 9:35-38 and pray specifically for the people God has already placed around you. Ask Him to give you His compassion for them, and then ask Him to show you where you can become a laborer instead of simply someone who sees the need. The harvest is already there. We want to be people who are ready when God puts someone in front of us.

First Corinthians 13:13 tells us that faith, hope, and love remain, but sometimes we separate them so much that we miss how closely they work together. Love hopes all things. Faith works through love. And Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith gives substance to what we hope for. Our faith, hope, and love were designed by God to work together. That means when one of these areas becomes weak, it can affect the others. If we allow disappointment to steal our hope, our faith is affected. If our understanding of God’s love becomes distorted, it becomes harder to trust Him. But when we know His love, allow His Word to build our hope, and respond to that Word in faith, something very different begins happening in our lives. As you go through THIS TEACHING, draw three circles on a piece of paper and write FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE inside them. Under each one, write one Scripture that has helped establish that truth in your heart. Keep it somewhere you can return to. We don’t simply want to know that faith, hope, and love are important. We want all three becoming stronger in us.
