    EPISODE 2

    God Desires Relationship, Not Religious Rituals

    Welcome to Moments with God: Weekly Soul Nourishment, a self-guided bible study. This week’s episode dives deep into the truth that God desires a genuine relationship with you, not empty religious rituals. Through Isaiah 1:11–17, we’ll uncover how God longs for hearts aligned with His justice, mercy, and love — not just outward actions. Listen in, pray, reflect, and discover how to trade routine for real intimacy with your Creator.  Use the Study Guide below. You can grab the pdf here Main Passage: Isaiah 1:11–17 Read this carefully in a few translations if possible. Additional Scriptures to Meditate On: Psalm 51:16–17 — “You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.”Micah 6:6–8 — “What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”Matthew 15:7–9 — Jesus quoting Isaiah: “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me…”John 4:23–24 — “True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth…”James 1:27 — “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows…”  Bible Study Questions: According to Isaiah 1:11–17, why did God reject the sacrifices and assemblies of Judah?How does this passage challenge your current understanding of worship and religious practice?What does true worship look like according to the additional scriptures?Are there areas in your life where you rely on routine more than relationships?How can you align your daily actions with a heart that reflects God’s justice and mercy?Journal Prompt: Reflect on a time when you did something for God out of routine rather than genuine love. How can you shift from ritual to relationship this week?  Action Step: Identify one religious habit you’ve done without much heart (e.g., church attendance, serving, or prayer out of duty). This week, intentionally pause and do that practice with a renewed focus on deepening your relationship with God. Invite the Holy Spirit to make it real and heartfelt.

Together, we break down a fresh acronym for B.I.B.L.E. — Biblical Instructions Breathed & Divinely Inspired by the Lord’s Eternal Spirit — and explore how scripture’s authority, sacredness, and transformational power shape our faith today.

    Who is God? Knowing the One You Trust

    Welcome to Moments with God: Weekly Soul Nourishment. In this episode, host Vernetta explores one of the most essential questions in our walk with God: Who is God? Knowing God’s character and nature reshapes how we trust Him through every circumstance. This episode walks through how God describes Himself in Exodus 34:6–7, how Jesus mirrors the Father’s heart in John 14:9–11 and Colossians 1:15, and how the Holy Spirit cultivates God’s character within us through the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22–23. In this study, we reflect on: The distinction between God’s character (how He acts) and His nature (who He is).How the triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—reveals a consistent, trustworthy identity.How we are invited to reflect God’s character through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.This is more than a Bible lesson—it’s an invitation to trust more deeply in the One who is holy, sovereign, gracious, and present. Key Scriptures: Exodus 34:6–7John 14:9–11Colossians 1:15Galatians 5:22–23For a complete printable version of the study guide, it is available here. Additional Scriptures for Further Study: Psalm 103:8–13 – A description of God's compassion and mercyHebrews 1:3 – Jesus as the exact representation of God’s beingIsaiah 6:3 – God’s holiness declaredJeremiah 32:17 – God's power and sovereigntyBible Study Questions: God’s Qualities and the Fruit of the Spirit 1.

God’s Nature How does understanding God as holy, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, sovereign, and eternal impact your trust in Him?Which attribute of God's nature are you most drawn to, and why?3.

    EPISODE 8

    The Proven Method for Fighting Battles

    In this powerful follow-up to last week’s study on spiritual warfare, Vernetta guides us into part two of the series with a timely and sobering truth: you don’t win battles by simply showing up—you win by showing up prepared. This episode focuses on Ephesians 6 and unpacks the Armor of God—not as symbolic theology, but as a divine, practical survival guide for everyday life. When we recognize that our battles are spiritual, not personal, we stop fighting from a place of fear and start standing in the authority God has already given us. You’ll revisit a teaching from Season 1, “Soul vs. Satan: Spiritual Armor Needed for Battle,” and reflect on what it means to be dressed for spiritual combat. This episode calls you to do more than listen—it invites you to examine your preparedness, lean into God’s instructions, and make spiritual armor part of your daily lifestyle. Main Takeaways: The Armor of God is a proven method, not a metaphor.Preparation determines your power.The enemy can’t destroy what God has armored, anointed, and assigned.Key Passage: Ephesians 6:10–18 Linked Episode: "Soul vs. Satan – Spiritual Armor Needed for Battle" (Season 1) Download STUDY GUIDE For inquiries and questions: sacredheartministry@aol.com I would love to hear how this podcast is making an impact on your spiritual life!
