Verse-By-Verse Ministry With Heather Darnall

The Bible is of course known for the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, which is plainly spelled out in the New Testament.  However, not many people know that the Old Testament points to that as well, and even less people know that God declared the coming of our Savior and defeat of Satan as early as the beginning.

That being said, in today's message, I'm going to address the book of Genesis 3:1-15 and heavily discus...

Prayer is commonly used, as it should be.  However, those who don't see anything come out of them have sadly come to the conclusion that prayers are useless, all because they have no idea what the problem is.  After all, aren't prayers supposed to work?
 
That being said, we need to go back to the operating manual so to speak (the Bible), and re-evaluate what's holding our success back because prayer was not...

Hearing from God is not uncommon, as it should be a daily experience.  However, today's method of hearing from Him isn't like in ancient times when He would communicate through visions and dreams, or even more clear than that which would be from His own mouth, as in an audible fashion.  Now, that's not to say He can't talk to us through any of those methods as He can do as He pleases.  It's just that throug...

Would you ever think religion to be worthless? - if of course you're not an Atheist.  Well, James, the half-brother of Jesus seems to think it can be which should make us wanna scratch our heads and wonder how our faith in Jesus, i.e. our religion can be of no value.  

In today's episode, I'm going to address the book of James 1:19-27 and unpack various areas where he says we're deceiving ourselves thinking we&ap...

When it comes to our eternal destination, most people usually talk more about heaven than they do about hell.  Why?  Because more and more people claim to not believe in it, or water it down for a number of reasons, therefore brush it off.

In today's episode, I'm going to expand off one verse from Romans 6:23 that refers to the very topic that can make us cringe which is hell.  And the reason we get all sensitive to it, is...

I think we can agree that living in today's society, there's plenty to keep us busy, in which generally speaking is a good thing as it can keep us mentally stimulated, even healthier, if we're not chained to a desk.  But there is such thing as being too busy, even if it's being busy for Jesus.  

In today's episode, I'm going to talk about a story from Luke's Gospel 10:38-42.  Even though it's ...

Wouldn't you agree that mannerisms are important?  Particularly please and thank-you's, yes?  Although we acknowledge they're not required, it's just that if someone goes out of the way to demonstrate them, we want, or at least hope  they'd be sincere, especially if we went out of the way to do something super thoughtful.  However, we can usually tell when their gratitude is superficial, which sadly and ult...

As we read the Word of God, we see or hear things that may seem contradictory leaving us feeling spiritually insecure.  One of those things that many lack their security and confidence in, is retaining their salvation.  Due to the different beliefs/interpretations, I wanted to dig deep into scripture, expanding off of the Gospel of John 10:22-30.  This is to show you what the Bible tells us plainly so that you can ultimately feel m...

Wouldn't you agree that everyone wants to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?  And for good reason too!  Yet they're super-skeptical believing it when they hear it.  I can understand why given we live in a world with too much information, especially with today's technology being able to conjure up just about anything to make it come across as believable, or better yet, as the truth.  

That being...

The fact that God gave us various emotions to express ourselves is amazing, especially when word's don't suffice.  However, clinging onto a specific emotion is not healthy, particularly anger.  

In today's episode, I'm going to read and break down the entire book of Jonah to show you how even a man of God can succumb to the things that tempt us, which in his case was anger.  And as you'll see, it was all. th...

Health and wellness has crossed everyone's mind at some point - as it should.  While some are more serious about it than others, many are unfortunately exhausting themselves trying every trending diet invented in order to quickly melt away that stubborn belly fat, in which recent years the ancient "Daniel-diet" has grown very popular for its reputation to practically morph into a whole new physique - in a jiff too.

The Israelites/Jewish people have a long history of various groups of people attempting to utterly destroy the entire race, as that's nothing new today.  However, the book of Esther is one such time that also shows us a number of events unfolding to display God's sovereignty as well as His divine deliverance.  In this episode, I begin by recapping parts 1 and 2, but then I pick up where I left off at chapter 6 and complet...

These three cha...

In today's society and culture, especially with countless religions and denominations out there, it can be super easy to misunderstand and/or be misinformed how one can enter into the Kingdom of God.  One of the most trending ways people follow and/or believe, is that it's based off a works, or an achievement-type premises which unfortunately leads to spiritual death.  

And because of that horrific end-result is why Jesus ...

As a Christian, we know that having faith is paramount.  But most of us don't exercise our God-given faith simply because that would mean we'd have to step out of our comfort-zone.  

In today's episode, I highlighted the book of Exodus 2:1-10 to point out some of the biggest acts of faith that were ever recorded which gave God the opportunity to orchestrate His mind-blowing provisions.  Not just to generally provide f...

What a wonderful thing it is to have a Lord who knows that we're sinners and that we can't help it - as in He genuinely understands that our failures are inevitable.  But where He draws the line is when we try to cover our sin, more so thinking that God isn't looking and/or will never even notice, while at the same time not thinking that our bad choices have a negative effect on other people as well.
 
In to...

Are you a patient person?  I'm not.  As a matter of fact, if you think about it, no one is.  Now, some may have more patience than others, but it all comes down to it that we all have our moments of weakness.  In today's episode, I decided to highlight the book of Genesis 16:1-6 using Abram/Sarai (aka Abraham and Sarah) as some examples of how even the super-faithful people ditch their patience and interfere with God&apos...

When we think of the 10 commandments, specifically honoring the Sabbath, many have the idea that just because they were written in the Old Testament era, that it no longer applies, thus leaving us to believe we can just do our own thing to find that “rest.”  Meaning unfortunately we don’t realize that we seek out things/activities that only centers around our physical and mental needs for that rest, totally dismissing our spiritual...
