Verse of the Day | 1 John 4:12 (NIV)

1 John 4:12 (NIV) says: 


**"No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us."**


Today, this verse carries a beautiful and timeless message about the importance of love and the presence of God within us. It reminds us that while we may not see God physically, we can experience His love through our actions and interactions with others. By loving and caring for one another, we become vessels of God's love, and His presence is made real in our lives.


In a world that often feels divided and distant, this message encourages us to foster compassion, kindness, and unity. It calls us to be the embodiment of love, showing others what it means to care selflessly and genuinely. Whether it's through small acts of kindness or standing up for justice, we have the opportunity to reflect God's love in our daily lives.

Celebrating February: A Month of History, Love, and Reflection

 

As we enter the heart of winter in February 2025, we find ourselves in a month rich with meaning and significance. This time of year, provides us an opportunity to reflect on Black History, express our love on Valentine's Day, and prepare for the final stretch of winter weather.

 **Black History Month: Honoring Legacy and Progress** February is Black History Month, a time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history. It is a moment to reflect on the struggles for freedom and equality and to honor the countless individuals who have paved the way for future generations. As we look back, let us also look forward, continuing the journey toward justice and unity.

 Inspirational Quote:  "The time is always right to do what is right."_ – Martin Luther King Jr.

 **Valentine's Day: A Celebration of Love** Valentine's Day, celebrated on February 14th, is a day dedicated to love in all its forms. Whether it's romantic love, familial love, or the love we share within our community, this day reminds us of the power of love to bring people together and create lasting bonds. Let us take this opportunity to express our love and appreciation for those who make our lives special. Bible Quote:  "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God."_ – 1 John 4:7 **Winter Weather: Staying Warm and Safe**February also brings with it the coldest days of winter. As we bundle up and brave the chill, let's remember to take care of ourselves and each other. Whether it's checking on a neighbor, offering a warm meal, or simply sharing a smile, small acts of kindness can make a big difference during these colder months.  

Let us embrace February as a time for reflection, love, and community. Together, we can honor the past, celebrate the present, and look forward to a bright future.

Video Ministry Recording provided Church School Superintendent Brother Robert Lucas

 **Deuteronomy 8:11-20**: In these verses, Moses warns the Israelites to remember the Lord their God and not to forget His commandments, statutes, and judgments. He reminds them that their prosperity and well-being come from God, and they should not become prideful or attribute their success to their own efforts. Moses emphasizes the importance of humility and gratitude, urging the people to stay faithful and obedient to God. He warns that if they forget the Lord and follow other gods, they will face destruction and perish, just like the nations the Lord destroyed before them.

Lift Every Voice and Sing: A Legacy of Hope and Resilience


 Lift Every Voice and Sing: A Legacy of Hope and Resilience

**Background: ** "Lift Every Voice and Sing" is an iconic song that has played a significant role in African American history and culture. Often referred to as the "Black National Anthem," it was written as a poem by James Weldon Johnson in 1900 and later set to music by his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson. The song was first performed by school children in Jacksonville, Florida, in honor of Abraham Lincoln's birthday on February 12, 1900. The song quickly gained popularity and became a powerful anthem of hope, resilience, and unity for the African American community during the early 20th century. It was later adopted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) as its official song.

**Lyrics: **_ **Verse 1**: The song begins with a call for unity and celebration, urging everyone to lift their voices in joyous singing and praise. - **Verse 2**: It reflects on the struggles and hardships faced by African Americans, acknowledging the pain and suffering endured over generations. - **Verse 3**: The final verse looks forward with hope and determination, seeking God's guidance and strength to continue striving for justice and equality.

**Significance Today: **"Lift Every Voice and Sing" remains a powerful symbol of the African American experience and the ongoing struggle for civil rights. It is often sung at significant events and gatherings, reminding us of the importance of unity, resilience, and hope. **Inspirational Quote: ** _"We must never forget that Black History is American History. The achievements of African Americans have contributed to our nation's greatness."_ – Yvette Clarke

**Bible Quote: ** _"But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."_ – Amos 5:24
