It’s the start of a new month — and along with that is our new memory verse!

Since Pastor Ruttan is teaching through the Gospel of John, this month’s verse is from that book as well. It is John 16:33: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

What an appropriate verse for this time in life! We certainly do have troubles and problems while in this world! This past Sunday, Laura Ruttan and Pastor Ruttan gave just a few examples. But, Jesus says, we should “take heart.” That means we should have courage. After all, he has “overcome the world,” meaning that he is victorious over the darkness of the world! And we, my friends, belong to him.

Talk about the verse, put it up at your house so you are minded of it. Here is the video of Laura and Matthew explaining the verse. Below that is a graphic you can print out and use:
