Bible Verse of the Day

July 28, 2026

Luke 15:19-20 (NIV)

'I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' So he got up and went to his father. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him."

Takeaway

Our worth to the Lord is not tied to how well we have done, and it is not diminished by the mistakes we have made. Just as the prodigal son went off course, we all have at times, but God still loves us and cares deeply for us.

Romans 10:17 (NIV)

Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
