^{1 Peter 2:13-20}

Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, ¹⁴ or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. ¹⁵ For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men ¹⁶ Act as free men, and ^[r]do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God. ¹⁷ Honor all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.

¹⁸ Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and gentle, but also to those who are unreasonable. ¹⁹ For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly. ²⁰ For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.

John 5:17

¹⁷ But He answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.”

^{Colossians 4:18}

¹⁸ I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

^{John 8:31-32}

³¹ So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; ³² and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

 Genesis 1:1-5

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. ³ Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. ⁴ God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. ⁵ God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

Isaiah 5:20-23

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! ²¹ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! ²² Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine And valiant men in mixing strong drink,²³ Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!

1 Kings 11:4

⁴ For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 

^{I John 5:13-15}

¹³ These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. ¹⁴ This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him.

Romans 13:3-4

³ For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; ⁴ for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil.

Proverbs 6:23-35

²³ For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life
²⁴ To keep you from the evil woman, From the smooth tongue of the adulteress.²⁵ Do not desire her beauty in your heart, Nor let her capture you with her eyelids. ²⁶ For on account of a harlot one is reduced to a loaf of bread, And an adulteress hunts for the precious life. ²⁷ Can a man take fire in his bosom And his clothes not be burned? ²⁸ Or can a man walk on hot coals And his feet not be scorched? ²⁹ So is the one who goes in to his neighbor’s wife; Whoever touches her will not go unpunished. ³⁰ Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry;³¹ But when he is found, he must repay sevenfold; He must give all the substance of his house. ³² The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; He who would destroy himself does it. ³³ Wounds and disgrace he will find, And his reproach will not be blotted out. ³⁴ For jealousy enrages a man, And he will not spare in the day of vengeance. ³⁵ He will not accept any ransom, Nor will he be satisfied though you give many gifts.

 James 1:21-25

²¹ Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. ²² But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves. ²³ For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; ²⁴ for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. ²⁵ But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

Psalms 105:1-7

Oh give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. ² Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders. ³ Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad. ⁴ Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually. ⁵ Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments uttered by His mouth, ⁶ O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones! ⁷ He is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

Isaiah 66:1-2

Thus says the Lord, “Heaven is My throne and the earth is My footstool.Where then is a house you could build for Me? And where is a place that ^[a]I may rest? ² “For My hand made all these things, Thus all these things came into being,” declares the Lord.“But to this one I will look, To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word

^{1 Kings 19:4}

⁴ But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, “It is enough; now, O Lord, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers.”

Hope you had a great 2025 and are blessed in 2026. 

After His second coming, the word tells us Jesus will rule on the earth for a thousand years; the Millennial Kingdom.  Pastor Jeff talks about what that means for these end times and what that thousand years will look like.

Righteous indignation is justifiable anger on may feel toward a wrong.  Jesus demonstrated that feeling as he cleansed the temple of business people.  Pastor Jeff discusses the righteous indignation we should be feeling toward the alleged fraud which has taken place in the state of Minnesota.
