📖 Get In the Word Wednesday 📖

Let's take it back to the basics.

Do you know the purpose of the Bible? Do you know why it was written? The Bible is more than a collection of stories—it is God's inspired Word given to teach, guide, correct, encourage, and reveal His plan for our lives.

Too often, we read Scripture as a daily task to check off our list, but God's Word was never meant to simply be read. It was meant to be lived. Reading the Bible without applying it to our lives is like looking in a mirror and walking away unchanged.

The Word of God provides direction when we're confused, comfort when we're hurting, strength when we're weak, and wisdom when we're making decisions. Every page points us closer to Christ and teaches us how to live according to God's will.

This week, challenge yourself to do more than read the Word—study it, meditate on it, and most importantly, apply it. Ask yourself: "What is God teaching me through this Scripture, and how can I live it out today?"

📖 "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." — James 1:22

📻 Tune Into Jesus Tuesday 📻

Sometimes You Must Tune Out to Tune In

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to absorb the negativity around you? The complaints, gossip, criticism, drama, and discouragement that others carry can quickly become a burden on your own spirit if you're not careful.

In a previous sermon, Rev. Stephens reminded us of an important truth: Don't allow others to use you as a trash can. Just because someone wants to dump their anger, bitterness, negativity, or unbelief doesn't mean you have to receive it.

When we constantly take in the world's noise, we can lose focus on God's voice.

Sometimes tuning into Jesus means tuning out:
❌ Gossip that tears others down
❌ Negativity that steals your joy
❌ Fear that weakens your faith
❌ Opinions that contradict God's Word
❌ Drama that distracts you from your purpose

Instead, fill your spirit with:
✅ God's promises
✅ His peace
✅ His truth
✅ His wisdom
✅ His love

What you allow into your heart and mind will eventually influence your attitude, your actions, and your walk with Christ. Be selective about what you receive. Not every conversation deserves a place in your spirit.

Today, make a conscious decision to protect your peace and guard your heart.

"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." — Proverbs 4:23

🎵 The clearer you tune out the noise, the better you'll hear the voice of God. 🎵

📖 From the Pulpit to Your Week

"Are You Hungry?"
Scripture: Matthew 14:16-22
Message by Rev. Stephens

When you are hungry, you have the desire to eat. The same should be true spiritually. Just as our bodies need food to grow and be sustained, our souls need the nourishment of God's Word, prayer, worship, and fellowship.

In Matthew 14, Jesus saw the needs of the people and provided for them. He is still able to satisfy every spiritual hunger today. The question is: Are you hungry for more of God?

This week, take time to examine your spiritual appetite. Are you seeking God's presence daily? Are you feeding on His Word? Are you trusting Him to provide what you need?

Challenge for the Week:
Spend time with God each day and ask Him to increase your hunger for His will, His Word, and His purpose for your life.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." – Matthew 5:6

📚✝️ INTRODUCING: Homework for Heaven – Sunday School Edition! ✝️📚

At Bull Swamp, we believe spiritual growth doesn't begin when class starts—it begins when we open God's Word throughout the week.

Each week, we'll share your "Homework for Heaven" to help you prepare for Sunday School, engage with the lesson, and grow deeper in your faith.

📝 THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT

📖 Scripture: Judges 4:1-24

💭 Question of the Week:
How can believers today discern when God is calling them to step out in faith to minister to or lead His people?

As you read about Deborah, Barak, and God's deliverance of Israel, consider how God may be calling you to trust Him, serve others, and lead with courage.

✅ Read the passage
✅ Pray for understanding
✅ Reflect on the question
✅ Come ready to discuss

⏰ Don't forget: Sunday School begins every Sunday at 9:00 AM!

We're excited to learn, grow, and study God's Word together.

Who's doing their Homework for Heaven this week? Let us know in the comments! 👇

📖🔥 GET IN THE WORD WEDNESDAY 🔥📖

“So Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him, He will appear a second time…” — Hebrews 9:28 🙌🏾

We eagerly wait for a lot of things…
💰 payday
📦 packages
🎉 the weekend
🏈 football season
✈️ vacations

But are we eagerly waiting for JESUS? 👀

Hebrews 9:28 reminds us that Christ already came once to save us from sin… and He’s coming AGAIN for those who are looking for Him. ❤️

This world will keep us distracted if we let it.
Busy schedules.
Social media.
Stress.
Drama.

But this is your reminder to stay focused, stay faithful, and stay READY. 🔥⏳

📌 Midweek Challenge:
Take time today to REVIEW THE TEXT.
Don’t just read over it — really study it, meditate on it, and ask yourself:
“What is God trying to say to ME through this scripture?” 📖✨

💬 QUESTION OF THE DAY:
If Jesus returned today, what would you want Him to find you doing? 👇🏾

Would it be:
📍 “Stop stressing, I already made a way.”
📍 “I’m proud of how far you’ve come.”
📍 “Forgive them and keep moving.”
📍 “Pray first… then respond.”
📍 “You’ve been asking for confirmation — THIS is it.” 👀🔥

Let’s see who’s tuned into the right frequency today! 📡✨

From the Pulpit to Your Week

This Sunday, Rev. Wade brought us to Gospel of John 9:25 —
"One thing I do know. I was blind, but now I see."

The blind man didn’t have every answer.
He couldn’t explain the theology.
He couldn’t debate the critics.

But he knew one thing for certain:
God changed his life.

As you go into this week, remember this:

You may not have all the answers.
You may not know how God is going to work everything out.
You may not be able to explain every season you’ve survived.

But what you do know is enough.

You know where God brought you from.
You know what He healed.
You know the doors He opened.
You know the strength you didn’t have on your own.

The same God who opened blind eyes is still opening vision, purpose, peace, and opportunity today.

This week, walk with confidence in what you have seen God do.
Don’t let doubt talk you out of your testimony.

You may have been blind to your purpose before…
but now you see.
